The Mommy Returns Movie

The Mommy Returns is an upcoming family comedy-horror movie and is a Mother’s Day offering from Regal Films.

It is top billed by Gabby Concepcion, Ruffa Gutierrez, Pokwang, and John Lapus. Members of its cast include Gloria Diaz, Ervic Vijandre, Kiray Celis, Jillian Ward, Gerald Pesigan, Hiro Magalona, and Moi Marcampo.

The movie is about a mother, Ruby (Pokwang) who dies right on the day of her 25th wedding anniversary with husband, William (Gabby). With her untimely death, she is temporarily trapped in PURGA (short for Purgatory) with its guardian, Dyoga (Lapus), ang diyosa ng purga and the pesky Manny, the chicken pet of San Pedro.

Enter Catherine (Ruffa) – a younger, fresher, and much, much prettier woman who comes into the life of William. When she threatens to take Ruby’s place as mother to her three beloved children (Kiray, Gerald, and Jillian), hell breaks loose as Ruby escapes back to earth as a ghost to scare and drive Catherine out of the family she left behind.

It is directed by Joel Lamangan and premieres on May 9, 2012.

Pokwang First Starring Role in A Mother’s Story Movie

In her first starring role, Host/Comedienne Pokwang ventures into heavy drama in the upcoming ABS-CBN Global and TFC movie “A Mother’s Story.”

“A Mother’s Story” revolves around the character of Medy (Pokwang) who became an illegal immigrant in the United States and her struggles as she achieves legal status. The film deals with what the OFWs go through in the United States.

The indie film which was shot entirely in the US and jointly produced by ABS-CBN Global and The Filipino Channel (TFC) also stars Rayver Cruz, Noni Buencamino, Daria Ramirez, Ana Capri, Jaime Fabregas, K. Brosas, Xyriel Manabat, and Beth Tamayo in a very special role.

Directed by John Lazatin, “A Mother’s Story” is set to open in theaters nationwide on January 8, 2011.

Here is the Synopsis:
Medy (Pokwang), a make-up artist, was given the chance of a lifetime to accompany a concert star to the United States for a performance. She promised her family that she will return after a week. However, while in America, she stumbled upon a former classmate Helen (Beth Tamayo) who convinced her to stay for good in the land of milk and honey. She initially refused, but eventually gave in, when she got a call one night from her husband that they need a big amount of money to bring her youngest daughter to the hospital. America has not been the friendliest to her and our story begins with her coming home to Manila literally with nothing.

Medy’s two kids, King (Rayver Cruz) and Queenie (Xyriel Manabat) are now 19 and 7. King struggles with the return of his mother.

Animosity, resentment, shame, and anger are issues he has built with Medy. For the young Queenie, it’s getting to know the mother, who she thought would one day come out of a Balikbayan Box. And as for her husband, Medy discovers something she least expected.
