Let’s stop fooling ourselves, ‘coz who doesn&#x27;t want a moment like this with their SO?! </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>3. The ‘akala ko utot lang, may kasama na pala’ scene </strong></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955779780LYTSAB 14.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955790121LYTSAB 15.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955801682LYTSAB 16.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955813626LYTSAB 17.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>This was the cutest thing that ever happened, and it involved a &quot;loaded utot&quot;! Joshua and Julia can make any situation, even an icky one, look lovely.  </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>4. The ‘aminin mong may crush ka’ prom scene </strong></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955836940LYTSAB 18.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955846062LYTSAB 19.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955854042LYTSAB 20.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955863562LYTSAB 21.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>This was such a brief moment during the entire prom scene, and it&#x27;s lovely because of just how precious the whole thing was. A boy admitting that he has a crush on the girl he&#x27;s been driving around with for days while dancing at a prom? Our one true weakness.  </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>5. The ‘Anong gusto mong marating? Ano pang gusto mong gawin?’ heart-to-heart </strong></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955888063LYTSAB 22.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955899703LYTSAB 23.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955909905LYTSAB 24.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955918323LYTSAB 25.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955927244LYTSAB 26.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955937623LYTSAB 27.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955947584LYTSAB 28.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955956023LYTSAB 29.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955964744LYTSAB 30.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955973783LYTSAB 31.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>This scene is sandwiched between the most dramatic scenes in the movie, but for us, this is the saddest. This is the moment we realized how perfect Mika and Caloy are with each other: two people who are lost, just trying to find their way towards the future. It gets us every time! </p><p>Watch videos of &quot;Love You to the Stars and Back&quot; here:</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aoWCjGOuw1k?si=2sikMcBK0rU7eXRg" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ULSXtBTIvc4?si=r9dYwt68ysPxFhsF" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/39CNyAOW78E?si=fdHZOizSFKAJiMGo" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l5CM60DkOXg?si=IlGji7NRGRXj5huL" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0q0HM4uFdYA?si=lM9AwfbzN958nL5M" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gpXgmnRRmIE?si=Q-0_ZGWPhTCl3tqi" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5pFWYJLQsEs?si=rXKA5IMyqJ2NsSca" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nxh3nx5da9w?si=2Q_JF1R3kxz2moOg" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>And watch more FREE FULL MOVIES and exclusive videos of your favorite celebrities from the Star Cinema <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ABSstarcinema" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">official YouTube channel</a>!   </p><div> </div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS: </strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mtou4LuxFrg?si=0rIymDBvIv8kKmw9" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gWajcNp6jTM?si=StaChTnDUL2rkB97" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED STORIES:  </strong></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films/2025/10/6/-meet-greet-bye-poster-drops-with-grand-surprises-1725" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">‘Meet, Greet &amp; Bye’ poster drops with grand surprises</a></div><div><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">Family tension rises in official ‘Meet, Greet &amp; Bye’ trailer</a></div>
