In celebration of Star Cinema's 17th anniversary, the premiere film maker from ABS-CBN has pleased to bring its cinematic masterpiece that was directed by the award-winning Laurice Guillen.

This movie brings most of the country's most respected artists such as Lorna Tolentino (Momay), Christopher de Leon, Diether Ocampo (Rubi), Coco Martin (Noy, Tonyong Bayawak), Zanjoe Marudo (Kristine, Parekoy, Banana Split), Shaina Magdayao (Rubi), Enchong Dee (Magkaribal), Empress (Rosalka), and Bea Alonzo (Magkaribal, I Love Betty La Fea), with the special participation of Dominic Ochoa (Rosalka, May Bukas Pa).

Inspired from the 2000 movie, Tanging Yaman, Sa'yo Lamang focuses on the life and times on one family struggling with their lives, and learning the value of trust, loyalty, honesty, and family values.

Upon taking a gander on this movie, it seems most of the characters in this movie has their own bitter tastes, for instance, Amanda (Lorna Tolentino) struggles with her dying life because of cervical cancer, Dianne (Bea Alonzo) tries to fulfill her mother's wish to reunite with her father (Christopher de Leon), the argument between the two boys (Coco and Enchong), and the twists happened on this movie.

This movie is just like Tanging Yaman, and the storyline gives color to this movie, making Sa'yo Lamang an interesting drama movie focusing on the struggles of one family.

Thumbs up to Laurice Guillen! And thumbs up for the cast!
