ABS-CBN Films is celebrating a monumental achievement as its newest family drama Meet, Greet & Bye soars past P120 million in worldwide box office sales, marking one of the most powerful international performances for a local release this year.
Since its Philippine debut on November 12, the film has sparked emotional reactions and strong word-of-mouth, launching its global journey with a heartening message — family, dreams, and one last wish that crosses borders.
A Starry Cast, A Story That Resonates
Starring box-office giants Piolo Pascual, Joshua Garcia, Belle Mariano, Juan Karlos, and screen legend Maricel Soriano, the film is helmed by award-winning director Cathy Garcia-Sampana — the visionary behind the country’s all-time box office record-holder Hello, Love, Again.
