Director Cathy Garcia Molina is thankful for the overwhelming response to the film.
“Aside from my actors, hindi ko pwedeng balewalain ang tulong na binibigay ng staff ko through thick and thin,” Direk Cathy said. “Part of my success are these people behind me and with me.”
The success of the film also proved that crossing networks and trying new pairings are good for Philippine movie industry. “Gusto namin magpasalamat sa lahat ng nakausap namin sa Hong Kong na nag-share ng kwento nila sa amin,” writer Carmi Raymundo saied.
If there is one thing that makes her feel bad about the movie’s success, it is that unscrupulous individuals have bootlegged the film and even uploaded it on several websites.
Both the top-grossing film Hello, Love, Goodbye and The Hows of Us were directed by Direk Cathy and starred Kathryn as well.
