To find that “one great love”… don’t we all wish for that to happen for us at least once in our lives.

“One Great Love” is the latest offering from Regal Entertainment, Inc. which stars Dennis Trillo, JC De Vera, Kim Chiu, Miles Ocampo, Nina Dolino and Marlo Mortel. “One Great Love” is also the official entry of Regal Entertainment, Inc. for this year’s MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival).

I can say that this is a movie about being at the crossroads of your life. How you go through a number of relationships that have failed for one reason or another even though you tried your very best to make each relationship work out. And how you can’t help looking back, reminiscing, wondering what could have been with that person had it worked out?

To be in love is something that everyone can relate to; it is not an entirely unique exclusive experience to any one person. That is why the premise for “One Great Love” is a timeless plot on its own.

Truly, love is universal. It is spoken, professed, and expressed in all languages. It is what makes us also human in a time when it might be better sometimes to become jaded, cynical, and negative–overcome and overwhelmed often as we are–with everything that is happening around us at a staggering rate.

No doubt Dennis Trillo, Kim Chiu, and JC De Vera will be able to live up to their lead characters roles. After all, they are tried and tested veteran actors of Philippine Cinema who all have a loyal following and have proven to be capable, bankable, and respected actors in the local entertainment industry.

Watch “One Great Love” as the trio of Dennis Trillo, Kim Chiu and JC De Vera will make you reminisce about your own past relationships and wonder if that one great love had already escaped you ? Or will it still be coming to you… and this time, to stay ?

“One Great Love” is set for a nationwide release on December 25, 2018.

This movie is directed by Enrico S. Quizon and produced by Regal Entertainment, Inc.

Now, here are my questions for the main cast of “One Great Love”.

1) When you hear the word love who is the first person you think of ? How do you express your love for that person ? 

Dennis Trillo: Ang unang naiisip ko pag sinasabi mo love ay pamilya ko. Ako kasi malapit ako sa pamilya. Medyo may pagka Mommy’s Boy kasi ako. And, pag naririnig ko ang love, ang pamilya ko talaga ang pumapasok sa isip ko. Kasi para sa akin sila ang one great love.

Kim Chiu: Pag naiisip ko ang love pumapasok sa isip ko ang pamilya ko. Yun din. Kasi sila ang dahilan kung bakit nandito ako ngayon, nag sisipag ako sa trabaho. I want to give them a good life. I want to provide for them. Sila talaga inspiration ko.

JC De Vera: Ako naman kapag naririnig ko ang love unang papasok diyan ang pamilya ko. My mommy and my daughter. Yan kasi, pagdating diyan talaga sa pagmamahal para sa pamilya I can risk it all for them. Para mabigyan sila ng maginhawa na buhay talaga.

Miles Ocampo: Yan din po. Pamilya din po kasi at the end of the day, kahit meron tayo mga partners…mga ka relasyon… GF or BF, at the end of the day, pamilya mo pa rin ang kukuhanan mo ng love na hinahanap mo. Yun po. Nag t-trabaho at gusto ko rin maging maganda buhay nila. Kaya sila ang inspirasyon ko.

Marlo Mortel: Same din. Kasi para talaga sa akin ang una talaga na nagbigay sa akin ng unconditional love sa isang tao ay ang isang family. Especially if you have become very close to them. They gave everything to me and ang goal ko in life is to give everything back and even give more. My family.

2) What do you want moviegoers to carry in their hearts as they are leaving the cinema ?

Director Enrico S. Quizon: After they leave the cinema house, they will have a better definition of what love is. And, how they interpret love. So, yan ang gusto ko ipaabot na message.

Dennis Trillo: Ako naman siguro pagkatapos nila manood ng pelikula magkaroon sila ng idea. And ma g-gauge talaga nila kung ano yung one great love para sa kanila.

Kim Chiu: Ako, katapos nila mapanood ang “One Great Love” gusto ko ma realize nila na huwag sila matakot sa change at huwag sila mahiya na mag profess ng love dun sa tao na yun kasi malay niyo, naghihintayan lang kayo.

JC De Vera: Ako naman, katapos ng pelikula nito gusto ko ma realize ng mga nakapanood na hindi dapat matakot mag mahal at umibig. At the end of this movie, malalaman nila kung meron talagang isang one great love or one true love. And, based on our story, at lalo na sa character ko, if you commit mistakes you make up for every mistake you make.

Miles Ocampo: Habang ginagawa namin ang mga eksena, meron kami natututo na ibat-ibang definition ng love. And, after watching this film siguro malalaman nila… parang choice nila. Huwag nila lalagyan ng wall ang isang tao para dumating ang love sa kanila. You have to accept the love and at the same time mabigay natin ang love na gusto natin.

Marlo Mortel: Of course, watching the movie. Gusto ko sa mga tao manonood na huwag matakot to fight for the people they love kasi baka pagsisihan nila sa huli. So, importante fight for the people they love.
