The highly anticipated movie "Men are from QC, Women are from Alabang" starring Heaven Peralejo and Marco Gallo is set to take audiences on a captivating journey of love, career, and the complexities of balancing both in the bustling city.

Centered around two individuals, the Quezon City guy Tino (Marco Gallo) and the Alabang girl Aica (Heaven Peralejo), the film spotlights the struggles of young professionals still finding their footing in life. While Tino embodies a carefree attitude, navigating life without pressure, Aica is burdened with the responsibility of being the family breadwinner, feeling trapped in a job she dislikes but cannot leave.

The narrative explores how their paths intertwine, despite hailing from different parts of the city. As a love-hate romance blossoms in their already exhausting lives, the distance between them becomes even more glaring. Plus, some ‘adulting’ factors threatens to drive them apart. In case you’ve wondered where exactly is the halfway point between north and south, maybe Tino and Aica could teach you how to make compromise.

Making the movie was a painstaking process, as the creatives wanted the script to be spot-on, and Marco and Heaven had their plates full with other gigs. But they’re grateful that everyone had faith in them for this project, so they're going all out. Win or lose, they're satisfied as the movie speaks about the grind that resonates with moviegoers —commuting, hustling in the city, dealing with life's craziness.
The chemistry between MarVen has captivated viewers in previous collaborations, and their on-screen partnership continues to thrive with unwavering support from fans. Instead of feeling pressured, they draw inspiration from their supporters. Plus, they constantly inspire each other to bring their A-game, especially Marco, who's always learning from Heaven, whom he described as one of the finest actresses of their generation.

Heaven and Marco believe their film will teach moviegoers to take more chances and not let outside pressure dictate their decisions.

Borrowing the movie’s theme, Kapamilya Chat asked the duo to take on the “North Versus South” Challenge, in which they would determine which side of metropolitan city is best for various scenarios.

For dating spots, Heaven was all about the South, swearing by Tagaytay's chill vibes. But Marco stood firm for the North, claiming it's easier to get to and has the best party scene.

When it came to food trips, Marco won with the North, boasting about all the restaurants it has to offer.

As for cozy dates, Heaven couldn't stop talking about Tagaytay, dropping hints left and right. Looks like Marco got the message loud and clear, so we might just see them on a Tagaytay date soon!

When asked who adjusts more between North and South folks, they both agreed that South peeps are more adaptable, especially when meeting new people. But they also admitted that life's a bit easier in the North.
