Movies like this touches me very much because first I'm a woman and knowing that things like this could happen. From the serial comics written by Carlo J. Caparas and a film directed by the National Artist for Film, Lino Brocka, Oro De Siete Films Production, Inc and Viva Films produces the movie,  Angela Markado. Through the eyes of its writer Carlos J. Caparas directs this year's remake of the film with Andi Eigenmann plays the role of Angela's character. Together with the great casts like Epi Quizon, Paolo Contis, Felix Rocco, Polo Ravales, CJ Caparas, Mika Dela Cruz, Isabelle Peach, Bugoy Carino, Buboy Villar, Anna Roces, Marita Zobel, Bembol Rocco and Bret Jackson.


The film is about the story of Angela who was forced to work as a waitress in one of the classy bars in Manila when her mother suffered stroke and so she could continue her school as well as her siblings Imee and Jmmy. During her work at the bar she meets five patrons of the bar, who turn out to be her rapists led by Leo, a rancher; Tory, a drug dealer; Garrix, a drug courrier Jack, a drug user; and Bren, a tattoo artist. She was later on kidnapped, raped, tortured and beaten by the five men and worse they tattooed their names on Angela's back. She was able to escaped with the help of Sabel but what happened to her mother and boyfriend made her have a life's mission to kill the five men with their own brand of brutality by wearing wigs and costumes, and stalking the men with a handy switchblade.

I have been watching teleseryes when I'm at home and I have seen how Andi Eigenmann play the roles of the characters. She's indeed a controversial hit maker and made a remarkable portrayal of the characters she played. According to Director Carlo J. Caparas Andi's acting prowess will make the Angela Markado he imagine will come alive in this movie remake. A vengeful victim unmerciful and most brutal woman.

This movie genre is going to be a big mark for Andi not only that the movie is a multi-awarded movie by Lino Brocka but it is also from the renowned multi-awarded filmmaker Carlo J. Caparas. According to Andi "I believe in the project, a byword and multi-awarded movie by Lino Brocka, and now, to be handled by another mulit-awarded filmmaker Carlo J. Caparas... this is really a big one for me ! A different kind of drama-thriller-shocker movie... a dream role and project... hindi ko po pakakawalan at sasayangin ito... matagal kong hinintay ang role na ito... it's worth the wait!"

For mommies and fans of Andi Eigenmann here's a chance to see her on a different kind of role that will surely give you mix emotions with the character Angela. Is she a criminal to be convicted or a victim to be symphatized? Watch the movie on December 2, 2015 know what happens at the end of the movie.

After creating history in the Philippine movie industry and continuing to break box office records to date with about a Php 100M in ticket sales three days after its release, “A Second Chance” is set to unfold to audiences worldwide, eager to see the sequel to one of the most iconic Filipino romantic films of all time in, “One More Chance.”
Now officially recorded as the Philippine film with the highest ticket sales on its opening day, outside the Metro Manila Film Festival, “A Second Chance,” is the sequel to “One More Chance,” the movie which has created a cult following of Filipino fans worldwide for its memorable lines and inspiring story of Popoy (played by John Lloyd Cruz) and Basha (played by Bea Alonzo) who give each other an opportunity to love again.
With a huge number of Filipinos who could relate to one of the most beautiful stories told on Philippine cinema, the first movie has already spawned a CD and DVD version and have been screened worldwide via Pay-per-View on TFC and TFC.tv. The movie which stars two of the countries’ biggest on-screen partners, also produced a book version eight years after it first touched the hearts of moviegoers worldwide, making it a veritable part of the Filipino pop culture.

According to Bea, more than them deserving praise for influencing Filipino romantics and even the new generation or the millennials’ perception on love, she is even more delighted as to how their movie and their characters have been accepted. “I am very proud of the Filipino audience na tinatanggap nila ng ganito ang pelikula (I am very proud of how receptive the Filipino audience has been of our movie.” Bea says.

Now, John Lloyd and Bea brilliantly reprise their iconic roles in Star Cinema’s sequel A Second Chance, which will be shared by TFC@theMovies to eager fans worldwide.

Set seven years after their reconciliation, A Second Chance is the continuation of Popoy and Basha’s story after they’ve given love one more chance. This time, the film explores the realities and complexities of a married life.

Here are videos during Grand Presscon of A Second Chance here in the Philippines.







Years after their grand wedding, Popoy is a failed engineer, struggling to keep his business afloat and his self-esteem solid. Basha on the other hand, becomes a submissive wife, giving up a lot to keep her marriage intact.

Ultimately, both Popoy and Basha are now faced with the countless trials as a married couple. Basha ponders on the reality that loving Popoy at his best is easy. Will she be able to love him enough to stay with him even at his worst?

By creating a different picture of the two characters Pinoys have grown to love, A Second Chance also dares to ask the question of whether love can remain the same even when people change.

John Lloyd shares that his character Popoy captures this reality in one of his memorable lines in the movie. He says, “It takes courage to face the reality that love is not always about wines and roses. “It’s brave to ask what if not but it’s even braver to embrace what is - this is one of the core of our story.”

Also reprising her role at the helm of this blockbuster franchise is blockbuster director Cathy Garcia Molina as well as the incomparable writing tandem of the very talented screenwriters Carmi G. Raymundo and Vanessa R. Valdez.
Immortal lines “Sana ako pa rin. Ako na lang. Ako na lang ulit,” and “She had me at my worst. You had me at my best…and you chose to break my heart,” resonated in the hearts and minds of an entire generation of Filipino moviegoers to this very day. The writing tandem hopes to create more lines in this sequel which they hope will reverberate as well.

A Second Chance is the reunion movie for Bea and John Lloyd after their 2012 mega hit, The Mistress.
