Cinema.”
Some 50 friends of the Philippine Embassy from the CRI brought along their family members and friends to the special screening of Star Cinema’s “My Amnesia Girl,” considered as the highest grossing Filipino film of 2010, on 25 April 2014 at the Embassy’s Social Hall.

They shared with the Ambassador that they identified with some of the experiences, journeys and trials of the film’s main characters Apollo and Irene and were touched by the heart-warming and happy ending to Apollo and Irene’s love story.
