Conspicuosly absent si Kris Aquino sa grand presscon ng Star Cinema’s 2015 MMFF entry na “All You Need is Pag-ibig”. So was her partner Derek Ramsay.
Dahil wala si Kris Aquino na nakasanayan nang magpa-Christmas raffle, bulung-bulungan tuloy among the members of the press: “Pag-ibig is not just what we need.”
Anyway, in the course of the open forum, du’n lang na-realize ng press that more than the Kris-Derek Ramsay screen tandem ay mas ibinebenta ang mga tambalang Jodi Sta. Maria-Ian Veneracion at Kim Chiu-Xian Lim. Of course, that of Jodi-Ian (JodIan) heavily capitalizes on the couple’s Pangako Sa ‘Yo partnership, habang ang Kim-Xian caters to the young audience. Sa dalawang pares din kasing ito umiikot ang iba’t ibang uri ng pag-ibig, while Pokwang’s presence serves as a comic breather.
Asked kung true to the film title ay naniniwala ang cast members that all one needs is love, Tita Nova Villa gave this for a time-tested answer: “Kaya narito pa rin ako, ‘yun ay dahil sa pag-ibig.” Obviously, Kris cannot say this.
