Film is a very important medium for expressing Filipino culture; many actors/actresses have received worldwide praise for their 'hugot' lines, their tear jerking moments, and stomach knotting laughs. The genre of 'RomCom' or Romantic Comedy is especially famous and familiar for Filipinos as it contains the cliche tropes of love, family, comedy, and struggle all while putting their own wonky twist into it.
So get ready to cuddle your current (or soon-to-be) bae, laugh with your friends, and stuff yourself with popcorn all at the same time!! ƒÿìƒÿéƒì┐
We'll be saving a seat just for you! ƒÿëƒÿÿ

Here's a quick synopsis of the film we will be watching:
 "Rock Polotan and Tracy Fuentebella are teenage sweethearts and both nursing students in a university in Manila, they are in love and full of dreams. A youthful indiscretion leads them to early parenthood, a situation they face squarely, and quite maturely, by planning to get married. They shortly realize, however, that the problem behind their wedding plans has less to do with themselves than with their own parents."
