She’s a certified master at making all of us relate so hard that we’re reduced to crying in cinemas. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XGRpV5uSAfw?si=dH0wu4oFwoSetGKT" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>While we await the release of her upcoming film “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films/2025/10/8/family-tension-rises-in-official-meet-greet-bye-trailer-1846" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meet, Greet &amp; Bye</a>” which is showing in cinemas on November 12, we highly recommend you start your emotional preparation by watching these films that are guaranteed to make you teary-eyed! </p><div> </div><div><strong>‘One More Chance’ (2007) </strong></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l4M8mD8m4RI?si=ptwP_A0p9PoZVcnf" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Do you want to fall in love with the same person for the second time? You could surely relate to Popoy and Basha&#x27;s experiences in &quot;One More Chance&quot;.  </p><p>We all deserve to get second chances after making mistakes, but the struggle is real. We need to go through so many trials before we can actually say we’ve found the one. Popoy and Basha made all of us cry with their heartbreaking lines. Their scenes are so iconic that their lines have become a part of people’s daily conversations. “Ako na lang,” ‘di ba? “Ako na lang ulit.” </p><div> </div><div><strong>‘Four Sisters and a Wedding’ (2013)</strong></div><div><strong> </strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WdRn5hHMZuI?si=UKttr4MZatZ0uBm3" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>“Maaaa, I’m sorry maaaa!”  </p><p>Every single one of us cried when Teddie dropped those lines. We all have issues with our families and in times when life is just a little too hard to handle, we can all turn to “Four Sisters and a Wedding”, a movie that proved whatever problem we face, we got our families to talk it through, ‘coz they will always have our backs. </p><p>The film taught us to be more open with our families, because for sure, our families will guide us. </p><div> </div><div><strong>‘Seven Sundays’ (2017)</strong></div><div><strong> </strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q3ptS7yXyZg?si=6fo3Ro0Lm7OOEWN_" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>We all have differences with our families and those are inevitable. “Seven Sundays” may be a comedy family drama, but it did not fail to draw tears from our eyes. We sometimes think that we could solve issues with temporary solutions, but the thing is, it will only lead to chaos. </p><p>This movie gave us the secret to having a happy family: open lines of communication, reconciliation, and forgiveness. With that, love will prevail in the family once again. #FamilyIsLove </p><div> </div><div><strong>‘The Hows of Us’ (2018)</strong></div><div><strong> </strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G6Rycx3iQ2g?si=8mWth5hoGKjCyx_A" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Was there ever a time you planned everything, but things turned out differently?  </p><p>That would surely hurt if you did it for the person you loved the most. Being in a long-term relationship means that you’ll be facing a lot of struggles, and there will come a point where you will question why you’re staying.
