KAYE ABAD, PAOLO CONTIS AND PATRICK GARCIA REUNITE FOR 'CON MOM'

This comedy-drama explores the lengths a mother will go to reunite with her daughter, who has been kept away from her. The film will be set against the scenic backdrop of Cebu, specifically in the southern coastal town of Boljoon. Joining the cast are Empoy Marquez and Kit Thompson.

"It's completely different from 'A Journey.' Yes, we're still a barkada, but this is more comedy," Paolo shared with The STAR and two other media during a look test yesterday.

The comedy is not slapstick but rather situational, according to the cast.

"The things we do (are exaggerated). It's comedy with a heart," said Patrick.

Kaye takes on the titular role. "We are focusing the story and talents on Kaye Abad. Support kami ni Patrick, mas complicated yung role niya," Paolo said.

He further said that the film aims to strike a chord with its audience with its "simple" message about a mom's love.

"Up to what extent ang pagmamahal ng ina sa isang anak? So yes, maaaring kalokohan yung ginagawa namin sa pelikula but people will see how much Kaye loves her daughter (in the film)," Paolo said when asked about the film's message.
