Kung Ako Na Lang Sana (movie)

The other friend in question is Vince (Aga Mulach), who can only be described as a charming cad. He has a penchant for the ladies, and is shrewd enough to admit his weakness for the opposite sex without reveling in it. One night out on the town, he chances upon Emmy after her boyfriend breaks up with her. The events that unravel afterward could have been immensely predictable by Filipino standards. But what happens next is almost miraculous based on my expectation. The film decides to simply delve into both their lives and witness the happenings that will draw these two together.

Aga Mulach also shines just as bright (if not brighter) than Mrs. Cuneta. His charismatic glee permeates the film and his presence generates so much good will (and well-timed goofiness), which is key for Sharon's character to play off of. It's no wonder that he's the Tom Cruise of Philippine Cinema (doing a Hugh Grant here though). It's impossible not to like him.

Within its wonderful supporting cast came one performance that caught my eye. Mickey Ferriols plays Vince's girlfriend in the movie's second half, and she is wonderful. She projects a great sense of authority and class, and at one point, she confronts Vince toe-to-toe with remarkable dignity and intelligence. It's a moment that I rarely see portrayed by young Filipina actresses these days. Let's hope there's more of her in the future.
