1st Ko si 3rd showing exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas

MANILA, Philippines - 1st Ko si 3rd made its debut in this year’s Cinemalaya X and has generated most of the “feels” among all the entries in the New Breed category. Before heading to compete at the prestigious Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF), 1st Ko si 3rd is showing nationwide exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas starting Nov. 12. 

1st Ko si 3rd is about Corazon (played by Nova Villa), a recently retired government employee who has been married to Alejandro (Dante Rivero) for the past four decades.  But their monotonous marriage is about to change when Corazon and Third (Freddie Webb), her first love, cross paths once again after their abrupt separation in the past. Initially avoiding the opportunities to meet up with Third, Corazon finally finds herself rekindling old feelings and living each moment with the first love of her life.

In an article on Yahoo Philippines by Gerry Plaza, the writer commends the film's director Real Florido, who has succeeded in infusing 1st Ko si 3rd with both indie and mainstream appeal that struck a universal chord.

An unconventional love story with heartfelt humor and drama, 1st Ko si 3rd is director Florido’s directorial debut and marks Nova’s reunion with her long-time screen partner Freddie.
