We Could Be In Love

Being Bibo Management’s newest “it girl” was the farthest thing from the mind of 27-year-old Penny Madrigal. At 27 years old, her career has been anything but successful. Right after her 27th birthday, she was fired from her job as Account Manager from a highly-respected advertising agency, Rapid Rates. What did she do so wrong that she would deserve this kind of life?

One day, she receives a job interview invitation to be an executive assistant for Bibo Management, one of the most prestigious film production houses in the Philippines. This was it. She would work her way up and eventually earn a managerial position. Little did she know that there were bigger things waiting for her.

30-year-old Lorenz Natividad's career might have escalated too quickly. Right before graduation, his entry to Indie Fili, a prestigious Filipino film contest for amateur film makers, won 1st place. He was then recruited by Bibo Management to write and direct a romantic comedy. It wasn’t exactly the genre that he wanted to pursue but he did it anyway since it was a big opportunity. This resulted to A Love Like Yours, which generated 200 million pesos in ticket sales.

Since then, he was stuck to generating romantic comedies, dramedies, dramas — anything romantic that the “masa (general public)” could supposedly “connect to”. What happened to his big dream of tackling social issues and bringing them into the public light?

One day, he was advised by management to direct another romantic dramedy that was supposed establish his track record in Philippine cinema. If the film generates at least 300 million pesos, then he would be entitled to sole control for one film per year. The problem is that he can’t find a leading lady for his film. That is, until he crosses paths with Penny Madrigal, the newly hired executive assistant.

When their paths cross, both their lives are changed forever.
