Ayala Malls Cinemas exclusive release of “Marupok A+,” directed by Quark Henares, and starring EJ Jallorina, Royce Cabrera, and Maris Racal

Ayala Malls Cinemas exclusively brings another acclaimed Filipino film to the theaters with “Marupok A+.” Directed by Quark Henares and starring EJ Jallorina, Royce Cabrera, and Maris Racal, the film centers around the use of catfishing in the online dating world.

Watch the trailer here below:

When Janzen Torres (EJ Jallorina), a transgender woman, matches with Theo Balmacenda (Royce Cabrera), it seems that love is right around the corner, but she soon learns that not everything is what it seems, and Theo might be luring her into something dangerous.

The cast includes EJ Jallorina, who started out as a child star in the hit TV show “Goin’ Bulilit”, and star of the tv shows and films such as “Marry Me, Marry You” and “Mamu, and a Mother Too”. Identifying as a transgender person, she was part of Preview’s iconic Pride cover for June 2024.

Royce, meanwhile, had his breakout role in the 2019 Cinemalaya film “Fucbois” and went on to portray significant roles in the GMA TV series “Makiling”, “Lilet Matias, Attorney At Law”, “The Write One” and “Widows’ War”.

Playing Beanie, a playful yet twisted director who is heavily involved in the Janzen-Theo affair, is Maris Racal. The Pinoy Big Brother alumnus is known today for her breakthrough role as Irene Young-Tiu in the ABS-CBN Netflix series “Can’t Buy Me Love”.

Ayala Malls Cinemas continues to showcase internationally-acclaimed and culturally relevant local titles to moviegoers across the country with “Marupok A+.” Initially shown at last year’s Cinemalaya, dive into the mystery of “Marupok A+,” showing exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas starting July 10.
