ABS-CBN Film Restoration will move today’s viewers with another heartwarming family-drama film as it premieres the digitally restored and remastered version of Star Cinema’s 2010 hit “Sa’yo Lamang,” starring Christopher de Leon, Lorna Tolentino, Bea Alonzo, and more in the latest edition of Sagip Pelikula Festival on KTX.ph starting November 30 (Tuesday).
The premiere of “Sa’yo Lamang” is a part of the Sagip Pelikula Festival’s ongoing tribute to the career of Christopher de Leon, featuring screenings of his other restored cinematic classics, including “Dekada ’70,” “Cain at Abel,” “Eskapo,” among many others.
From the director of another family-drama hit “Tanging Yaman,” Laurice Guillen, comes another film ready to move viewers with its heartfelt drama, featuring the story of Dianne (Bea) and how she managed a happy life for her mother Amanda (Lorna) and her siblings despite living without a father who deserted them for his mistress.
Ten years after their father Franco (Christopher) left for his other woman, he suddenly made his return to his family, seeking forgiveness from them. Although Dianne has been warning them about accepting him again into their lives, Amanda and the rest of their family welcomed Franco to start anew.
Reluctant to recognize him as their father once more, the dispute between Dianne and Franco only worsens, leading to other heated confrontations among their family.
Despite the turmoil caused due to Franco’s unexpected return, will Dianne learn to forgive and accept her father to mend their broken family?
Also starring in the said film are Coco Martin, Enchong Dee, Miles Ocampo, Shaina Magdayao, Diether Ocampo, Zanjoe Marudo, Empress Schuck, Lauren Young, Dominic Ochoa, John Manalo, and Igi Boy Flores.
