MANILA — “Hello, Love, Again,” starring Kapamilya actress Kathryn Bernardo and Kapuso actor Alden Richards, has reached over P1.4 billion at the box office worldwide.

ABS-CBN Films announced on Monday that the romantic drama movie earned around P1 billion in domestic sales and over $7 million in internationally.

“Hello, Love, Again” the first Filipino movie to gross over P1 billion, is still showing in 700 screens worldwide.

In just 10 days since opening in theaters last November 13, “Hello, Love, Again” has become the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time.

Directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, “Hello, Love, Again” is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster movie “Hello, Love, Goodbye.”

Kathryn Bernardo is soaring even higher, and her performances at the “Shine Kapamilya: The ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2024” event showcased her in her sexiest, most empowered era!

Still reeling from the phenomenal success of her movie, Hello, Love, Again, the glowing Kapamilya actress reunited with her showbiz friends and colleagues at this star-studded gathering in Araneta Coliseum. In her production numbers, Kathryn got the spotlight she deserves, as she celebrates yet another milestone year in her career.

Kathryn served up a fiery dance number to the tune of South Korean girl group MEOVV’s “Meow.” For this sexy and playful number, she rocked a sparkly green Anthony Ramirez ensemble with cut-outs, paired with lace-up boots.

She also entertained the audience with her cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” matching the sultry mood of the song with a silver, fringed mini-dress, also by Anthony Ramirez, as styled by Kim and Boop Yap.

Hello, Love, Again, starring Metro cover stars Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards, is now the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time, earning over Php1.4 billion worldwide.

In this solo era, Kathryn Bernardo proves she can shine brighter than ever.

Ever since she was a teen, Kathryn has been a staple in ABS-CBN’s Christmas IDs. But this year, the scene is completely different, as she participates as a standalone artist in “Our Stories Shine This Christmas”—and wow, does she glow!

With that infectious smile and radiant energy, she’s truly the perfect embodiment of the joy and warmth Christmas brings. In a scene from the official music video, the Asia’s Superstar was a sight to behold as she introduced April Doria, an alopecia warrior. “Higit pa sa nakikita ng mga mata ang sukatan ng tunay na kagandahan,” she said, delivering the heartfelt message of this year’s Christmas ID, which is celebrating the inspiring stories of ordinary Kapamilyas,

But, the behind-the-scenes happenings are just as delightful to watch, as Kathryn hums and grooves along to the official anthem. Though she filmed her parts as a solo artist, she sure felt the festive atmosphere with the production team and some Kapamilyas who joined her in some frames.

The changing seasons may bring about new phases in life, but just like Christmas itself, some things remain timeless, and Kathryn’s happiness is one of them. The “Hello, Love, Again” star’s positivity was on full display during the music video shoot. Watching her bask in the holiday spirit and embrace this new phase is truly inspiring, as if she’s not just celebrating the holiday season, but celebrating growth and the joy of being herself as well.
