Piolo Pascual and Belle Mariano for Meet, Greet & Bye

Piolo Pascual and Belle Mariano chat about fandoms, family traditions, their acting (and singing careers), and their new film: Meet, Greet & Bye.

More about Meet, Greet & Bye

When Baby, a mother of four, survives cancer, she credits her beloved Korean dramas — and her K-drama idol — for getting her through. But when her cancer returns, she decides to forego treatment and spend her remaining days in joy. Her only request: to meet the actor who once gave her hope.

Her grown children, each grappling with their own lives and distances, reunite under one condition: if they can help her fulfill this wish, she’ll agree to start chemotherapy again. What begins as a seemingly impossible task becomes a journey of reconnection, forgiveness, and learning what it truly means to show up for one another.

At its core, Meet, Greet & Bye is about love — not the kind we pursue, but the kind that holds us together when everything else falls away.

Cathy Garcia-Sampana directs.
