The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Paano Kita Iibigin (transl. How can I love you) is a 2007 Filipino romance film starring Regine Velasquez and Piolo Pascual, directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal. It is their on-screen pairing following "Ang Iibigin Ko'y Ikaw" episode of IBC's defunct weekly drama series Habang May Buhay in 2000 and the "Lobo" episode of ABS-CBN's now-defunct weekly anthology drama series Maalaala Mo Kaya in 2001. Pascual is the main host of ABS-CBN's ASAP which airs opposite GMA's SOP, hosted by Velasquez. Paano Kita Iibigin marked the first time that Pascual worked with Viva Films and the first time that Velasquez worked with Star Cinema. He also remained in Walang Kapalit alongside Claudine Barretto which premiered on April 23 a month later. Paano Kita Iibigin is the third co-production between Star Cinema and Viva Films after 2006's Wag Kang Lilingon and this year's Ang Cute ng Ina Mo!. This is the third full-length film of Pascual with director Bernal after 2003's Till There Was You and 2006's Don't Give Up on Us. This is the fourth full-length film of Velasquez with director Joyce Bernal after working together in 1999's Dahil May Isang Ikaw, 2000's Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw and 2001's Pangako...Ikaw Lang. This Philippine-made romantic drama opened on May 30, 2007, in the Philippines. It was rated B by the Cinema Evaluation Board. The movie made P78,128,341. When the DVD was released, it sold 15,000 DVD after two days of sale and became the first Filipino DVD release to be awarded with a Gold Certification in just three days of release. The soundtrack went Gold award after three weeks. The soundtrack reached Double Platinum status with more than 60,000 sales based on Regine's record sales in YES! Magazine's list of the 20 stars who ruled the decade. The film was digitally restored and remastered in high definition by the ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project and Central Digital Lab and this is the first to test it out on the Viva Films co-production. The restored version was released on April 27, 2021, through KTX.ph with a pre-show, hosted by Leo P. Katigbak (head of ABS-CBN Film Archives) with the attendance of the cast members Regine Velasquez, Piolo Pascual, Eugene Domingo, and staff members including writer John Paul Abellera.
