Actress-host Anne Curtis responded to a social media user who commented on the trailer of her upcoming romance film with Jericho Rosales, which is set to premiere during Valentine’s month.
On January 19, Anne shared the trailer for “The Loved One” on X (formerly Twitter), featuring her and Jericho as former lovers who reconnect a decade later to “trace the memories of a love and sorrow that never went away.”
The movie marks the on-screen reunion of Anne and Jericho, who previously starred as lovers in the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Baler.”
In “The Loved One,” Anne plays the role of Ellie, while Jericho portrays Eric.
“Para sa nagmamahal at kaya pa rin maghintay… YOUR ULTIMATE MOVIE DATE IS HERE,” Anne wrote on X as she shared the trailer.
The trailer offers glimpses of the early stages of their relationship before shifting to more solemn moments, including a scene in which Anne’s character says, “For me, saying ‘I love you’ has become a question.”

Let’s remember our greatest love story this Valentine’s season with Anne Curtis as Ellie and Jericho Rosales as Eric. 🌹
