Angel Locsin graced the celebrity screening of Deadma Walking, one of the eight entries to the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival. The screening was held at UP Town Center in Quezon City last December 7.
Angel was accompanied by her rumored boyfriend, film producer Neil Arce.
Deadma Walking is the story of two gay best friends played by Joross Gamboa and Edgar Allan Guzman. One of them learns he has a terminal illness, and asks the other to stage a fake wake and funeral to find out how people would react to his “death.”
Here are some snapshots from the star-studded night.
