Mananangal Flies Again For Pista Ng Pelikulang Pilipino

Remember this cool film from QCinema? I was hooked with its interesting story and execution, and I think this might be the best Mananagal movie ever! Yes it's true! Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23B is back this year and now for a larger market in the upcoming Pista Ng Pelikulang Pilipino. 

I fell in love with the film as it was not just the formulaic love story, but rather shows the human side of Mananangals. It also got hotter when sexy scenes take over followed by a bloody carnage which are the factors why it got an R-16 rating. Despite this, the directors and producers are positive that a bigger screening opportunity and the rise of a new popular character of Ryza which is Georgia in the GMA Afternoon Prime show "Ang Ika-6 Na Utos".
