A day filled with real and reel love right just in time for Valentine's Day, the much-awaited romantic comedy of 2025 Everything About My Wife had its official launch. The grand mediacon gave guests an exclusive walkthrough as the cast and producers shared how they navigated healing and repairing love—along with love and marriage—the film’s central themes. This romantic comedy, directed by Real S. Florido, highlights the powerhouse collaboration between award-winning and formidable film producers CreaZion Studios and GMA Pictures.

The event was graced by its lead stars: Romantic Comedy Queen Jennylyn Mercado, MMFF50 Best Actor Dennis Trillo, and Rockoustic Heartthrob Sam Milby. Other cast members, including Ms. Carmi Martin, Polo Laurel, Alex Agustin, Joyang, Chico Alicaya, and Karlo Aranza were also in attendance.

During the press conference, award-winning director Real Florido shared his insights on why films like this should be available to everyone: “Mag-inspire and kumurot sa puso ng mga tao. I think yun yung role bakit tayo gumagawa ng mga pelikula. Yung yung importansya ng paggawa ng pelikula at pagkwento ng istorya na gustong makita ng mga manonood. And ang mga Filipino, we are suckers for love. Gustong-gusto natin yung kinikilig, umiiyak, at nasasaktan tayo with the main characters that we see in the big screen. Importante sa atin yan, di ba? Makiki-pagmeet tayo sa mga friends natin, mamaya pag uusapan yung crush niya, yung hino-hopia niya, or yung jino-jowa niya, or tine-third party niya.It’s always part of any conversations. It makes us feel alive. So importante siya, in the same manner  na important lahat ng storya.” 

 

 

As a real-life married couple, Jennylyn and Dennis reflected on how their marital status influenced their performances, “Napaka-importante na gumawa ng isang kwento na universal para makarelate yung mga manonood. Kaya madali siya para sa artista na tulad kami na mag-asawa kami at yung role namin sa pelikula ay mag-asawa din. So kahit paano, alam na namin yung mga nangyayari talaga. ‘Yong beats ng mga mag-asawa  — kung paano sila magtalo, paano sila maging masaya, paano sila magkakaroon ng problema. So mas nakakatulong para sa amin,” shared by Dennis.  “Pamilyar na sa amin yung iba’t ibang mga eksena sa doon pelikula. Pero ang importante ay na-enjoy naming dalawa yung papaano namin ginagawa ang bawat eksena. Napakasarap katrabaho si Dennis,” Jennylyn added.

Meanwhile, Sam shared his thoughts on his role, “Like Director Real sabi niya, yung mga roles mo nag shi-shine ka yung mga medyo masama.  Medyo evil but great character. But iba yung si Miguel.  Miguel is a casanova. And casanova is like a man with many lovers, a womanizer. So, it was a challenge for me. But I’m glad Direk was there to help me out. I was just trying to be out of my comfort zone.”

During his welcome speech, CreaZion Studios Chief Creative Officer RJ Agustin highlights the importance of the collaboration between GMA Pictures and CreaZion Studios, “This monumental collaboration between two innovative production companies underscores why we do what we do. We want to be able to convey Filipino rom-com stories that are grounded and relatable.”
