Don't Give Up on Us

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don't Give Up on Us (2006), a romantic comedy, showcasing the breathtaking views of Sagada and Banaue, is a Philippines-made film, directed by Joyce Bernal. The film was the fourth loveteam appearance of Judy Ann Santos and Piolo Pascual after Kahit Isang Saglit, Bakit 'Di Totohanin, and Till There Was You. ^[1] On television, they teamed up in the primetime soap operas Sa Puso Ko Iingatan Ka and Sa Piling Mo.

Although the Metro Manila Film Festival-Philippines had just ended ^[2] and despite being released at the same time as the major Hollywood film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Don't Give Up on Us grossed roughly 129 million pesos in the Philippines. The official websites listed several international screenings but no international box-office receipts were made available by Star Cinema.

The Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) gave Don't Give Up on Us a B rating, ^[3] which made it eligible for a 65% tax rebate on its earnings in the Philippines.

The Movie Television Ratings Classification Board (MTRCB) gave Don't Give Up on Us a PG-13 rating ^[4] which required parental guidance for viewers under thirteen years of age.
