Charo, Dingdong explore new relationship labels
Manila Bulletin
|June 6, 2025
A few days before the June 11 opening of romantic drama, "Only We Know," the question remains hanging: Do the film's lead stars, Charo Santos and Dingdong Dantes, get to kiss or show a bit of intimacy in the film?
Those behind the film, including writer-director Irene Villamor, would rather keep mum on the subject, preferring that audiences find out for themselves.
Suffice it to say, "Only We Know" is a romance film about two people with a certain age gap who strike an unlikely yet intimate bond.
Before a special preview of the film recently, to which we were invited personally by Charo herself, our small group of Charo friends and co-workers was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement that stated we couldn't divulge certain elements in the film prior to its actual opening.
Are they, or aren't they? That's another question yet to be settled.
What's essential, Charo and Dingdong said during a media huddle May 26, is the beautiful journey of their characters, Betty and Ryan, something that transcends relationship labels and norms.
