CreaZion Studios, a leading distribution and film company in Southeast Asia, renowned for championing diverse cinematic voices and bringing compelling narratives to a wide audience, has made the critically acclaimed 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival entry, Kabisera, accessible for free streaming on its official YouTube channel. This poignant cinematic work stars two towering figures of the Philippine film industry: the esteemed National Artist, Nora Aunor, whose indelible contributions have shaped the nation’s cinematic landscape, and the multi-awarded actor, Ricky Davao, celebrated for his nuanced and powerful performances. This special release serves as a profound and heartfelt tribute to both of these legendary actors, who have recently passed away, leaving behind a legacy of remarkable artistry and unforgettable characters.
Kabisera offers viewers a powerful and moving cinematic experience and this complimentary streaming opportunity allows audiences to once again witness the exceptional talent and enduring impact of Nora Aunor and Ricky Davao on Philippine cinema. It is a chance to reflect on their invaluable contributions and celebrate their enduring presence in the hearts of Filipino film enthusiasts. Kabisera (2016) is a Filipino sociopolitical drama portraying a family facing the harsh realities of extrajudicial killings and societal abuse. Starring Aunor and Davao, the film depicts the emotional strain as the family confronts violence and corruption. Officially part of the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival, this film offers an unflinching look at the dark side of power and justice. Meanwhile, CreaZion Studios is set to bring the romantic-comedy film Everything About My Wife, produced in collaboration with GMA Pictures, to select cinemas in Hong Kong and Macau starting May 18 and in the UAE on May 23. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Real Florido and written by seasoned screenwriter Rona Co, the movie tells the story of Dom (Dennis Trillo) and Imo (Jennylyn Mercado) navigating the highs and lows of love and marriage.

Dom and Imo started out as lovers and eventually got married, but seven years later, Dom finds himself unhappily married and desperate to escape. In a moment of panic, Dom turns to a notorious womanizer, Miguel (Sam Milby), and asks him to seduce his wife. As Miguel and Imo grow closer, Dom realizes he’s made the gravest mistake of his life — Miguel unexpectedly falls for Imo. Despite Miguel’s growing affection and friendship, Imo discovers the scheme and feels deeply betrayed. Heartbroken, she decides to give Dom what he wants: an end to their marriage. But just as they part ways, their love resurfaces. Will Imo forgive Dom? The film adaptations from different countries earned both commercial success and critical acclaim, beginning with the 2008 Argentine original Un novio para mi mujer, a box office hit, and the 2012 South Korean remake All About My Wife, which became one of the highest-grossing Korean films of that year. Its enduring appeal lies in its universal themes of healing, forgiveness, and love’s capacity to restore broken relationships — resonating with audiences across cultures.
While each version remains true to the emotional core of the story, what distinguishes them is the culturally distinct way each couple confronts and resolves their relationship struggles. “At its core, Everything About My Wife is a story about second chances, reflection, and rediscovering love where you least expect it. We’re proud to bring this funny & heartfelt movie to our global pinoy kababayans,” says CreaZion Studios CEO RJ San Agustin.
