<p>A new family drama is on the horizon — Star Cinema’s “Meet, Greet &amp; Bye” — and it&#x27;s already pulling at our heartstrings! The official announcement teaser of the New Movie Alert for this Cathy Garcia-Sampana film dropped on <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Star Cinema</u></a>’s social media pages and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ABSstarcinema" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>YouTube channel</u><em></em></a> on Monday, June 23. </p><p>The film marks the director’s return to the big screen since 2024’s “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films/2024/11/27/-hello-love-again-earns-rave-reviews-from-celebs-fans-for-lessons-worthy-cinema-experience-1948" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Hello, Love, Again</u></a>”. This star-studded film features Piolo Pascual, Joshua Garcia, Belle Mariano, Juan Karlos, and the iconic Diamond Star, Ms. Maricel Soriano as a loving mother to a household. </p><p>The official announcement teaser opens with a visual montage of framed family photos, showing snapshots of each character through the years: Piolo Pascual’s photo in his teenage years, a young Joshua Garcia in a brown tuxedo, Belle Mariano’s sheer cuteness as a kid, and a teen Juan Karlos playing the piano. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750676863298Screenshot (484).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750676909160Screenshot (485).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750676941918Screenshot (486).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750676954178Screenshot-(487)-new-2.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Voices of children yelling “Mama!” blend into the scene along with a dramatic piano score. </p><p>Maricel Soriano can be heard responding to her kids, giving a series of quintessential motherly words — “Sumagot ka! Aba sumasagot ka na?”, “Anong akala mo sa ’kin ah? Nagtatae ng pera?”, “Papunta ka pa lang, pabalik na ’ko!” and “Mata kasi ang gamitin, ano, hindi ang bibig!” — the kind of lines that a Filipino mom uniquely utters with both authority and affection. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750676980619Screenshot (488).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750676999601Screenshot (491).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750677012658Screenshot (492).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>But just as the energy peaks, the tone softens. The final voices of the four children, now sounding more mature, call out “Mama?” with seeming concern, as the screen shows a family portrait then fades to black.   </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1750677030859Screenshot (489).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>“Meet, Greet &amp; Bye” might just be Cathy Garcia-Sampana’s next big heart-hitter, so get ready to laugh, cry, and feel it all as the film arrives in cinemas worldwide, soon! Watch the official announcement teaser now and prepare to meet a family you definitely won’t forget. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DXoU5fwjNYY?si=2vLZ7_5ypkBRhQ3D" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS: </strong></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1uHPLrgurX8?si=qZT9oBKAt3kQ_KOr" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> </div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GMhnGTtyABk?si=68lqQ91ACqmGUJe6" 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/2025/6/13/celebrities-fans-swoon-over-charo-dingdong-in-only-we-know-1658" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Celebrities, fans swoon over Charo, Dingdong in ‘Only We Know’</u></a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films/2025/6/9/did-you-know-belle-mariano-tapped-into-her-maternal-instinct-four-sisters-before-the-wedding-1707" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>DID YOU KNOW?
