‘Worth the Wait’ Jolina Magdangal, Marvin Agustin on reunion film

Metro Manila, Philippines- It may have taken two decades to make their reunion film possible, but for the 'OG loveteam' of the '90s, Marvin Agustin and Jolina Magdangal, it was worth the wait.

The two actors became emotional after watching the full version of their film 'Ex Ex Lovers' at an advance screening in Quezon City on Thursday, February 6.

"Salamat sa pagmamahal, kasi kapag matagal ka na sa industriya hindi mo alam kung mahal ka pa ng mga tao," Magdangal said, addressing the audience after the film.

[Translation: Thank you for the love, because when you've been in the industry for a long time, you don't know if the people still love you]

Agustin expressed that a comeback film with Magdangal was a dream come true for him.

“Masarap na nag-enjoy kayo sa pinangarap namin more than two decades we wanted to do this kind of film," he said.

[Translation: It's a joy that you enjoyed what we dreamed of doing for more than two decades]

Magdangal added that while it’s up to the people to decide whether their on-screen partnership deserves a second chance, she said it was truly worth the wait.

"Para sa friendship namin ni Marvin, talagang masasabi ko na worth the wait," Magdangal told NewsWatch Plus.

[Translation: For our friendship, Marvin and I, I can truly say that it was worth the wait]

In a separate interview, film director JP Habac shared that both actors were professional throughout the filming process.

"Ang challenge ay tatapatan mo ang energy nila pero other than that ang sarap nilang katrabaho," said Habac.

[Translation: "The challenge was matching their energy, but other than that, they were a pleasure to work with]

'Ex Ex Lovers' premires in cinemas on February 12.
