This is a Filipino movie but will have English subtitles so even non-Filipinos can understand the film.

- Won 7 out of 17 FAMAS nominations including Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Picture. FAMAS is like the Oscar’s of Philippine movie industry.
Here’s the Eventbrite link for Wellington:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
