In recent interviews, ABS-CBNs Leo Katigbak is grateful for Ayala Malls Cinemassupport, We are lucky that our Sagip Pelikula Film Preservation Advocacy has strong support from the Ayala management and it is very critical for us that our partners are just as passionate and committed to making this effort viable and sustainable. We have restored more than 120 titles already but unless people get to see them, we cant really say we have succeeded in preserving our legacy. We are hopeful that the partnership with UPTC is the start of more tie-ups with Ayala Malls,said Leo Katigbak, head of ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project.

It was a nostalgic starry night as director Jerry Lopez Sineneng with screenwriter Ricky Lee along with the movie’s lead stars Marvin and Jolina graced the opening night of “Cinema Classics” at U.P.
