Get ready to laugh, cry, and be inspired—because this May, Kapitana Entertainment Media proudly presents 'Isang Komedya sa Langit', a uniquely heartwarming blend of comedy, fantasy, and drama. 

Set to premiere nationwide on May 28, 2025, this film promises an unforgettable cinematic journey filled with joy, reflection, and a touch of magic.

At the heart of the film is the veteran actor Jaime Fabregas, who takes on the role of Father Emanuel Garcia. Known for his powerful portrayals of clergy in Philippine cinema, Fabregas once again delivers a performance that resonates deeply. While playing a priest may be familiar territory for him, he admits this character brought a fresh challenge.

“Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na ako gumanap bilang pari. Well, may challenge pa rin kase hindi naman lahat ng pari ay may pare-parehong character,” he shared.

Drawing from personal experiences, Fabregas revealed that he once served as an altar boy at the Naga Cathedral, a connection that undoubtedly adds depth and authenticity to his performance.

Joining Fabregas is the ever-charismatic Carmi Martin, who plays the role of Naty—a part originally offered to Nova Villa. Embracing the project without hesitation, Martin saw great promise in the film’s story. Widely loved for her comedic flair, she showcases her versatility by diving into emotionally charged scenes, even shedding tears on set.

Also starring in the film is rising talent Aki Blanco, portraying Brother Marco. Following his acclaimed role in 'The Last 12 Days'. Blanco, managed by Tyronne Escalante, continues to build his reputation with another moving performance. When asked what he would change if he could revisit the past, Blanco reflected candidly:

“Siguro po, kung may babaguhin man ako, gusto ko bumalik sa pagiging teenager ko. Kase nung teenager ako, simple lang ang buhay ko… gusto ko lang balikan ‘yung mga gano’n kase sa panahon ngayon, puro social media na and puro celfone,” he expressed.



The film’s ensemble cast is further strengthened by performances from EA Guzman, John Medina, and Gene Padilla—each adding their own vibrant flavor to the story.

Behind this compelling project is writer and producer Rossana Hwang, the visionary force of Kapitana Entertainment Media. Far more than just the mind behind the screenplay, Hwang personally sought out the film’s leading talents. Jaime Fabregas came highly recommended by Frasco Mortiz, son of the comedic legend Edgar Mortiz.

“You have to get him,” Mortiz told Hwang.

Meanwhile, Carmi Martin was personally recruited by Hwang through the Barangay Chairman of Magallanes Village in Makati—an effort that highlights her passion and hands-on commitment to the craft of filmmaking.

Directed by Roi Paolo Calilong, 'Isang Komedya sa Langit' delivers a rich, colorful, and deeply meaningful story that is sure to leave a lasting impact on audiences.
