Silong (Shelter) opens today, September 16, 2015, in 120 cinemas nationwide distributed by Star Cinema. The romance thriller movie is directed by Jeffrey Hidalgo and Roy Sevilla Ho. It is produced by Black Maria Pictures and SQ Film Laboratories Inc.

The film stars our very own Rhian Ramos as Valerie, the wife of an abusive husband. Piolo Pascual is Miguel Cascarro, a widower doctor. The story revolves around these two characters finding shelter in each other. It takes place in one house where their relationship develops and things transpire. Both of them are trying to move on and heal from the past. However, the deepest scars are the ones you can’t see. The cast also includes Sam Shoaf as young Miguel, Angel Jacob as Miguel’s late wife, Guji Lorenzana as Gilbert, Miguel’s bestfriend, and Arnee Hidalgo-Shoaf as Miguel’s mother in the past.


The movie marks the first leading role in an independent film for Ramos. In an interview at the Silong special media screening, Pascual stated that she is one of the easiest he has worked with. He described her as a real trooper in the set because no complaints were heard from her. Ramos also shared that two days after the script was sent to her, she already wanted to do the film.

“Whenever celebrities or members of the production team say na Ay ibang Rhian yung makikita n’yo dito, I don’t think anyone believes that anymore, because it’s kind of like a used term,” said Ramos. “I was like, I guess the way I felt about it when I read it is the way they felt about it when they watched the film, which is kind of my goal.”



Silong is a product of team effort and collaboration of creative ideas. Even Ramos is one of the producers of the film. According to her, the team involved everyone in the entire process before doing any finalizations. There are a lot of unexpected scenes and twists to watch out for. The movie is not just a new and different experience for the actors but also a new material for the audience.
 “One, we wanted to entertain. Two, we wanted to surprise people. And three, we just wanna give them something different,” said Ramos.

SIlong is graded B by the Cinema Evaluation Board. Don’t forget to watch it in theaters nationwide!
