At the recent Influencers’ Night for the advanced screening of Only We Know, Charo Santos-Concio, the film’s lead and executive producer, shared her heartfelt vision for the movie’s impact on audiences when it hits theaters on June 11.
The event buzzed with excitement as influencers and media gathered to witness the poignant love story unfold, and we had the privilege of speaking with Santos-Concio about the emotions and experiences she hopes moviegoers will take away.
“Siyempre, kilig!” Santos-Concio exclaimed with a warm smile, her eyes lighting up at the thought. “Bilang isang babae, sana nga maging kilig experience ito.”
But beyond the flutter of romance, she emphasized a deeper aspiration for the film. “I hope it becomes a soulful experience for them. Kasi, para sa akin, tinuturuan kang maging totoo—maging totoo sa nararamdaman mo.”
In Only We Know, Santos-Concio portrays Betty, a retired literature professor in her 60s who rediscovers love with Ryan, a younger, widowed engineer. Their unexpected connection challenges societal norms and personal fears, offering a narrative that’s both tender and courageous. “Betty is a brave woman,” Santos-Concio said. “Hinarap niya ang buhay. Wala siyang tinakbuhan. I hope that lesson will resonate with our audiences.”

The film’s core message, she explained, is about authenticity in love and life. “Basta pag nagmahal ka, magmahal ka ng tunay, kahit may sakit,” she added, underscoring the fearless vulnerability Betty embodies. This resonates deeply in a story that explores second chances at love, defying age and convention with raw honesty.
Santos-Concio’s performance as Betty is already generating buzz for its nuance and emotional depth, blending the thrill of kilig with a soul-stirring reflection on courage. As audiences prepare to experience Only We Know, Santos-Concio hopes they leave theaters not only swooning but also inspired to embrace their true feelings, no matter the challenges.
