Three cinemas at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City were open to the public Wednesday night to screen the premiere night of the filmbio of Asia's Sentimental Singer Imelda Papin.
Cinemas 1, 2 and 3 were booked to exhibit the movie "Loyalista (The Imelda Papin Story)" to a frenzy crowd composed mainly of self-confessed Marcos loyalists.
Imelda Papin who plays herself in the latter part of the film came and walked the red carpet together with only daughter Maffi Papin Carreon who tackles the role of herself.
Gary Estrada who breathes life to Jose Antonio Carreon, the late husband of Imelda, came with wife Bernadette Allyson and daughter Gabrielle Ejercito.
Beauty queen and actress Alice Dixson who plays former first lady Imelda R. Marcos and actor-politician ER Ejercito who, according to him, immerses himself as the character of former president-dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. came one after the other because they were almost squeezed in by the crowd.
Claudine Barretto, who gives life to the singer during her younger years, arrived at the theaters by herself who was also mobbed by the fans.
"Thank you for coming to our premiere night. You did not fail us," said Mel.
Other supporting cast were around to lend moral boosting to the film project.
