Her co-writer Jeko Aguado read Direk Dwein’s speech on her behalf.  </p><p>“Mahaba ang nilakbay namin ng co-writer kong si Jeko Aguado bago ako umabot sa draft ng &#x27;Third World Romance&#x27;,” she began. “But the initial prompt of Black Sheep was to tell a love story na masa ang sentro at paano mase-sentro sa masa ng isang developing country kung wala ang working class at wala ang mahigpit nitong kalaban na pagiging salat sa pera at mag-struggle sa kahirapan. Isama mo pa sa mix ang patuloy nating hinaharap na pandemya na noong una ay pilit naming iniiwasan.” </p><p>“Gusto kong magpasalamat sa lahat ng tumulong sa &#x27;kin sa paggawa ng pelikulang &#x27;to. Mula sa pinakamatataas hanggang sa pinakamaliliit na tao sa pelikula, at sa inyo, mga manonood, maraming salamat sa inyong interes manood ng landian ng isang bagger at cashier. Emi!” she quipped.  </p><p>“Hiling ko na bawat isa sa inyo, magkaroon ng kanya-kanya niyong Bree at Alvin na sasamahan kayong bitbitin ang mabigat na mundong ito. At kung hindi man at tingin ko mas importante, sana ma-realize natin lahat na ang tunay na kapangyarihan ay laging nasa masa. Maraming salamat,” Dwein said. </p><p>Produced by Black Sheep and ANIMA Studios, &quot;Third World Romance&quot; also stars Ana Abad Santos, Gardo Versoza, Archi Adamos, Junjun Quintana, and Donna Cariaga.   </p><p>It is now showing in cinemas nationwide! </p><p>Watch the full trailer here: </p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wrQQ4liX-Zo" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p>RELATED STORIES: </p><div><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/starcinema/articles-news/watch-carlo-aquino-charlie-dizons-relatable-dilemma-in-third-world-romance-scene-drop-20361">WATCH: Carlo Aquino, Charlie Dizon&#x27;s relatable dilemma in &#x27;Third World Romance&#x27; scene drop </a></div><div><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/starcinema/articles-news/watch-carlo-aquino-charlie-dizon-become-each-others-comfort-in-third-world-romance-trailer-20295">WATCH: Carlo Aquino, Charlie Dizon become each other’s comfort in &#x27;Third World Romance&#x27; trailer </a><br/> </div>
