At Newport Harbour, we recently had the incredible experience of being a filming location for the highly anticipated romantic drama Hello, Love, Again. This was more than just a movie shoot—it was a once-in-a-lifetime event that brought excitement, joy, and a little bit of movie magic to our community. Residents and team members alike had the chance to witness the fascinating behind-the-scenes world of filmmaking up close.
About Hello, Love, Again
Directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, Hello, Love, Again is the 2024 sequel to the beloved Filipino romantic drama Hello, Love, Goodbye. Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards return as Joy and Ethan, rekindling their love story as they navigate new opportunities and challenges in Canada. The film has already made history, earning over ₱1.6 billion worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing Filipino movie of all time.
Newport Harbour: From Home to Hollywood
The moment the film crew arrived, an air of excitement swept through Newport Harbour. Our everyday spaces—hallways, lounges, and courtyards—were transformed into movie sets, giving our community a fresh, cinematic glow. Watching the crew set up lights, adjust cameras, and perfect each shot was nothing short of mesmerizing.
But what made the experience truly unforgettable was the warmth and kindness of the cast and crew. They didn’t just come in to shoot a movie; they embraced our community. Residents had the rare opportunity to see how movie magic comes to life, and a few even got to step in as extras! For many, it was a dream come true to be part of a production of this scale.
A Story That Feels Like Home
For our strong and vibrant Filipino community at Newport Harbour, this film holds special significance. Seeing a story that resonates so deeply with our residents unfold right here, in the place they call home, was an incredibly touching experience. The energy on set was contagious, and everyone involved—whether a longtime resident or a team member—felt like they were part of something special.
We can’t wait to see our home on the big screen, to relive the magic of those filming days, and to celebrate the incredible talent that brought Hello, Love, Again to life. A heartfelt thank you to the production team for choosing Newport Harbour—we hope this is just the beginning of our journey as a sought-after film location!
