The showing of \u201cEverything About Her\u201d on Saipan was a rousing success with Filipinos and even some non-Pinoy moviegoers lining up to see the Vilma Santos headliner The movie was shown with English subtitles and had a week-long screening at the Regal Saipan Megaplex.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur initial offering on Saipan was a tremendous success and had over 2,000 Filipinos and even non-Pinoys went out to see the movie,\u201d said The Filipino Channel marketing specialist James Redmond Chua, who is in charge of the CNMI and Guam accounts.<\/p>\n

The 200-seater Regal Cinema Megaplex 7, where the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines-Grade A comedy-drama film was shown, was almost full on opening day alone and the numbers went up as the days went by especially during the weekend.<\/p>\n

Multi-awarded and veteran Filipino actress Santos plays the role of real estate mogul Vivian, who was dying from cancer, while former teen star Angel Locsin is Jaica, a hired nurse tasked to take care of the former in order to conceal her medical condition. Xian Lim plays Santos\u2019 estranged son Albert.<\/p>\n

Vivian then orders Jaica to convince Albert to come home and live with her in the hopes of fixing their broken relationship before she dies.<\/p>\n

Chua said the film\u2019s message of giving importance to your family and the value of forgiveness did transcend to a lot of moviegoers.<\/p>\n

Kolinta Montoya, from the Federated States of Micronesia and watched the movie with her husband Edwin and several other relatives, said the movie teaches a lot of lessons, especially learning how to forgive those who hurt you.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt teaches you lessons, one of which is if you\u2019re still alive learn to forgive and learn to love,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should also be compassionate and nobody should die alone. We really enjoyed it,\u201d added Virginia San Nicolas, who joined the Montoyas in watching the film.<\/p>\n

Northern Marianas International School teachers Catherine Barja and Criselda Aldan said each member of the family should treat each other well with or without illness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a relationship between a mother and son that were not close to each other. Each have their own crisis in their lives,\u201d said Barja.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must treat each other well even if you\u2019re not sick or not,\u201d added Aldan.<\/p>\n

TFC, with the movie\u2019s success, also announced that the Gerald Anderson and Arci Munoz film \u201cAlways Be My Maybe\u201d will be shown on March 11 at the Regal Cinema Megaplex 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
