Pre-production and workshops have begun on "Ikaw ang Pag-ibig", the latest film from Marilou Diaz-Abaya (Jose Rizal, Muro-Ami, Bagong Buwan, Noon at Ngayon).  With the MDAFI campus in Antipolo as its main base of production, the film will star Judy Ann Santos, Ryan Agoncillo, Marvin Agustin, Vivian Velez, Christopher de Leon and a whole lot more.

The staff and crew are mainly composed of former students of direk Marilou, working alongside seasoned professionals from the Philippine film industry.  There are even students from the current batch of the Basic Course in Motion Picture Language, who will be working on the film as interns!

The film is being produced by UNITEL Pictures and is being released in celebration of the 300th year anniversary of Our Lady of Penafrancia, the patroness of the Bicol region.
