Box-office director Cathy Garcia Molina has revealed her preparations and plans on starting a movie with Vice Ganda for the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival.


“Excited ako first time lahat. First time andun excitement at the same time ‘di naman takot-alinlangan siguro, kasi ‘di ko alam paano mag work, Vice has been open to me na ‘Direk we are one team magtulungan tayo to give the audience the best movie," Direk Cathy said.


She also said that she is looking forward to the creative and collaborative efforts with the Unkabogabol star.


“Exciting mas kilala ako sa love story, si Vice comedy. So paano kami gagawa ng may love story and at the same time, makakapag-patawa at makakapag-entertain. Kasi, at the end of the day MMFF, all year long dream natin ang makapagpasaya, especially MMFF and Christmastime. Request ni Vice to meet me and my staff para mag discuss ng intentions. I brought my staff - my family na makakasama niya na lagi ko mga kasama. Ganun din si Vice magiging parte ng family. Kumbaga getting to know each other. I like the idea kasi pangit sa first day lang magkita-kita ‘di ba?” she said.


The female director also said that working with Vice also started her beautiful friendship with the box office comedian.


“It was fun. Movie-filled talks about love and friendship. Sinimulan na namin dapat kaming magkakaibigan para magtranslate sa film. Ipokritang sabihin na ‘di namin gusto mag number one. Alam natin magagaling ang ibang entries good competition kasi, makikinabang audience lahat ng viewers at nagpapagandahan ang pelikula. Makikinabang ang mga nanonood kasi worth the money ang (napanood nila) kaya gusto namin mag number one mas importante nakapagpasaya kami sa manonood,” Direk Cathy also said.


After two years of MMFF absence in cinemas due to the pandemic, Direk Cathy said that it's about time to welcome the audience back to the theaters.


“Bawat sentimo bawat risk sana masuklian namin ng entertainment I believe that’s what we are here for to entertain make people happy. Pag natuwa sila, sabihin sa kamag-anak kaibigan safe manuod," she said.
