Actress Rhian Ramos and actor Lance Raymundo with Ms. M2ARJE and her band came to Bacolod City on Saturday, August 3, 2024, for the premiere film screening of a true-to-life movie dubbed “When the World Met Miss Probinsyana.” Fans of both movie personalities flocked to the Ayala Mall Capitol Central for a Meet and Greet and a little entertainment with fans before the film screening set at the Ayala cinemas on that day.
Rhian, Lance, and M2ARJE, during a press conference, shared their journey when they filmed the said movie. Rhian said that even though she grew up in Manila, she was able to portray well the story of Ms. M2ARJE who struggled with mental health issues.
She accepted the project because she wanted to impart some learnings about the experience of Ms. M2ARJE. This one is extra special and she wanted to give her best because this is a true-to-life story.
“I wanted to honor her with that and also her life to be an inspiration to the young people,” she said. Ms. M2ARJE said this film tackles a very important narrative.
It is not often spoken about especially when it comes to mental health. It is an advocacy film that tackles women's empowerment and also the opportunities that are not always available in the global communities that many people are not aware of. “I want to stress the importance of awareness and through storytelling, we can communicate these things that are happening within the Probinsya,” she said.
She felt grateful for how the film was profe.
