<p>The official trailer for “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films/2025/6/24/-newmoviealert-meet-greet-bye-stars-piolo-joshua-belle-juan-as-children-of-maricel-soriano-1010" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meet, Greet &amp; Bye</a>” has finally arrived, and emotions run high for the Facundo family. </p><p>Directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">film</a> stars Piolo Pascual, Joshua Garcia, Belle Mariano, and Juan Karlos as the Facundo siblings, who unite to convince their mother, Mama Baby (played by the Diamond Star Maricel Soriano), to continue her treatment as her cancer returned. </p><p>The trailer opens with a heavy blow: “Her cancer is back. Time is not on our side,” a doctor warns. The siblings are left speechless as Mama Baby quietly gazes out the window. Later, when they plead with her to seek treatment, she refuses with a firm, “Ayoko.” </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827226576Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer Maricel Soriano.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827242153Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer Piolo Pascual, Joshua Garcia, Belle Mariano, JK Labajo.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>As the siblings try to reach an agreement, buried tensions begin to surface. In a heated exchange, Joshua’s Brad defends their mother’s decision: “’Di mo lang s’ya naiintindihan. Wala ka kasi rito,” he tells Piolo’s Tupe, hinting at long-standing resentment. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827267896Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 1.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827282094Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 2.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Even lighter moments reveal the cracks between them. Juan Karlos’ Leo attempts to ease the tension, initiating a fist bump, but only Tupe humors him, while Brad and Geri brush him off. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827303475Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 3.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827314975Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 4.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Still, the trailer isn’t without warmth, as hope still sparks for the Facundos.

Her room, plastered with posters of Korean heartthrobs, becomes her personal sanctuary. When her friends invite her to the Park Seo-joon fan event, she eagerly asks to go, but her children hesitate. </p><div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827367117Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 6.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827382134Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 7.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827393956Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 8.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>That’s when Tupe strikes a deal with their mom that changes everything: “If I could get you a ticket for the meet and greet, magpapa-gamot ka?” A delighted Mama Baby nods, sealing the promise that sends everyone cheering. </p><div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827409493Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 9.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827437696Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 10.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>The trailer closes with a wave of emotions: Mama Baby’s worsening health, the siblings’ desperate efforts to help, and heated confrontations between the family. </p><div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827456955Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 11.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827469796Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 12.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827485035Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 13.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759827496136Meet Greet &amp; Bye Official Trailer 14.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>In one heartbreaking moment, Geri breaks an argument between Tupe and Brad.
