‘T-Bird at Ako,’ ‘Mga Anak ni Facifica Falayfay’ return to Ayala Malls cinemas for Pride Month

For fans of classic Filipino cinema, here's an exciting opportunity to catch some beloved films on the big screen once again! In celebration of Pride Month this June, two memorable movies are returning for a limited theatrical run.

Leading the lineup is the 1982 drama 'T-Bird at Ako,' starring iconic actresses Vilma Santos and the late National Artist Nora Aunor. Directed by Danny Zialcita and written by Portia Ilagan, the film follows Sylvia Salazar, a lawyer who develops feelings for Sabel, a dancer she is defending against a homicide charge after Sabel kills the son of a wealthy tycoon. Their professional relationship soon becomes complicated as personal boundaries blur.

Also screening is the 1987 comedy 'Mga Anak ni Facifica Falayfay.' This film features the legendary Dolphy as Facifica, a gay man who decides to marry Ligaya and raise a family. After Ligaya's passing, his son Rodrigo comes to a significant realization about his own identity. Directed by Romy Villaflor, the movie also stars Zsa Zsa Padilla, Eric Quizon, Rolly Quizon, and Roderick Paulate.

These restored classics are being shown exclusively at select Ayala Malls cinemas until June 10. As of the latest update, the screenings are being held at Ayala Malls Market! Market! in Taguig City.

Ticket prices are set at P160 for students and P180 for regular admission. Interested viewers can purchase tickets conveniently online through sureseats.com.

This special screening event is part of the "A-Rewind" initiative, a partnership between Ayala Malls Cinemas and ABS-CBN Film Archives and Restoration. The collaboration aims to make digitally restored Filipino films accessible to audiences on the big screen, allowing a new generation to appreciate these cinematic gems.

The "A-Rewind" program began in March, coinciding with the conclusion of ABS-CBN Film Restoration's noteworthy 14-year "Sagip Pelikula" project, which successfully restored over 200 films. Moviegoers can also anticipate more restored Filipino classics coming to Ayala Malls Cinemas in the coming months.
