'In The Name Of Love' now on Cinema One

CEBU, Philippines - Cinema One, the no. 1 cable channel in the Philippines, takes prides in presenting “In the Name of Love,” which won big in the recently held 28th Star Awards for Movies.

In the movie, Angel Locsin portrayed the role of Cedes Fernandez who’s engaged with politician’s son Dylan Evelino (Jake Cuenca), but will find love from the dark yet passionate past of her dance instructor Emman Toledo (Aga Muhlach).

Emman is drawn towards Cedes from the first time she catches his eye. As their lives intertwine through dance, Emman and Cedes find themselves resisting an affair: one that holds the truths to their painful pasts, and the memories of a boundless love. 

For her exemplary performance in the film Angel received her first Movie Actress of the Year award. Her leading man Aga Muhlach also got the top plum as Movie Actor of the Year, while Jake Cuenca received the Movie Supporting Actor of the Year for also starring in the film.  “In the Name of Love” also won the Movie Original Screenplay of the Year for its director Olivia Lamasan and Enrico Santos.

Prior to being this year’s Star Awards big winner, “In the Name of Love” has received good reviews from some renowned film critics.

“The Olivia Lamasan-helmed drama is quite heavy and tackles mature themes such as dirty politics and drug trafficking, but it’s well-crafted and I saw that there was an effort to go to a level most local releases do not tread,” goes Regnard Raquedan’s post in his movie blog.

Catch “In the Name of Love” on Cinema One, March 24 (Saturday), 9p.m. and March 30 (Friday), 5p.m. Cinema One is available on SkyCable Gold, SkyCable Silver and other quality cable operators nationwide. For more information, log on to http://www.facebook.com/Cinema1channel.
