Etiquette for Mistresses

Veteran director, Chito Roño will be surely making a big noise once again in the big screens with Star Cinema’s and K Productions’ latest masterpiece, “Etiquette for Mistresses”. What so exciting about this movie is the fact that Kris Aquino will be leading with other ABS-CBN’s prime leading ladies, Kim Chiu and Iza Calzado. Another very interesting thing about this project is Claudine Barretto’s great comeback in showbiz as well as in Star Cinema. Plus, these great names will be joined by the returning comedienne, Cheena Crab who is highly anticipated to lead much of the humorous part of this 2015 romantic-drama film.

Basically, the movie features Ms. Julie Yap-Daza’s best-selling novel of the same title, which tackles the story of five ladies – Georgia (Aquino), Chloe (Barretto), Ina (Chiu), Stella (Calzado), and Charley (Crab) – who are living with different lifestyle but happened to be kept women of their respective men. It’s undeniable that infidelity among couples has become a more open topic today in the Philippine movies and TV series. However, this story neither glorifies nor judges the essence of being a mistress. It rather intends to feature different angles and unrealized points on the thought of extra-marital affairs and most importantly, it is jam-packed with significant and relevant life lessons. In fact, many fans are already so excited to finally see Kim Chiu playing a way more mature role in this movie.

After years in the making, “Etiquette for Mistresses” will be finally shown in theatres all over the Philippines on September 30, 2015. Other stars joining the powerhouse cast of the movie are Ms. Helen Gamboa, Tirso Cruz III, Eddie Gutierrez, Pilar Pilapil, Cherry Pie Picache, Freddie Webb, Aiko Melendez, Zoren Legaspi, Sam Concepcion, and Arci Muñoz.
