Piolo Pascual-Rhian Ramos’ Thriller Movie “Silong” Premieres in Cinemalaya 2015

Silong (English title: Shelter), a romantic thriller featuring the first-ever pairing of two of the country’s most popular stars is set to make its world premiere as the closing film of this year’s Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival on August 14, 2015.

The Cinemalaya entry stars Kapamilya actor Piolo Pascual and Kapuso actress Rhian Ramos, two beloved celebrities that have built careers in rival stations ABS-CBN and GMA who finally get to work together in this independent film produced by SQ Film Laboratories and Black Maria Pictures.

Piolo Pascual plays Miguel, a doctor still mourning the death of his wife Caroline while he scrambles to save his family home from creditors. As he drives home one day, he finds a badly beaten and bloody Valerie, played by Rhian Ramos, on a deserted country road and takes her home to nurse her back to health. They soon walk the fine line between love and loneliness and between trust and caution.

The film also stars Guji Lorenzana, Miguel’s confidante and the brother of his deceased wife, Caroline (played by Angel Jacob), as well as theater actor Raymund Concepcion.
