GALING GALING! Worked with a lot of people here 👏🏽👏🏽

[@InaRabinoDahilig]

I was so excited to watch this film and thank you for making it available on youtube, I finally got to see it. From the very beginning of the film, I was all smiles 'coz the scene brought so much happiness and joy and I felt the love. My favorite scene and which struck me was the scene of the daughter and the mom and the Mom said, "Your dad left us" and the daughter responded with, "You left us too Mom", that's left me speechless for a while and the Mom was not expecting that too. That made me realized that yeah, Distansya it is. Everyone is so good at how they portrayed their characters and salute to the writer/ Lead actress Mellissa Jane Rodriguez because I saw everything I would expect for someone in your position, galing. To the Director Mr. Rommel Andaya, I can't wait to see you in person soon, your films are always good. Good job team, I will re-watch it and will share this too in my socials.
