Year: 2006
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Synopsis by Wikipedia:

In a most unexpected place, love finds its way... But will it survive the journey?

Abby (Judy Ann Santos) thinks she has everything under control until her best friend Sabina walks out of her own bridal shower weeks before her marriage to Abby's younger brother Samuel. With a cassette tape left behind by Sabina as her only lead, Abby vows to find her best friend and bring her back in time for the wedding.

Abby's search takes her to Baguio. There she meets Vince (Piolo Pascual), a folk singer in a local pub whose voice she heard in Sabina's tape. Vince claims that he recorded the song for his friend Rabbit who was supposed to give it to his girlfriend (Sabina). Abby persuades Vince to take her to Rabbit in the hope to find Sabina.

As Abby and Vince travel together through the mountain provinces, love tries to find its way through their hearts but will it survive the journey?

What I think:

I think this is one of the best Filipino movies I've ever seen considering it was released in 2005. The storyline is not bad. The actor & actress have a great chemistry as this wasn't their first time working 2gether. Some will say that the story is a bit cliche, but I think in this genre it's a great love story. Of course, every love story has a twist, some frustrating scenes and last but not least, some emo scenes that's definitely a tear jerker. I'm rating it 4 out 5. Would I recommend you to watch this? YESH! The movie was shot in Baguio, Banaue & Sagada. Absolutely beautiful! Bsides that, hey.. it's Piolo Pascual, of course u will want to see it ;) Click HERE for trailer
