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.

(2007) and My Big Love (2008) and Dionisia Pacquiao's first film portrayal. Before the set of the Ang Tanging Pamilya, director Wenn V. Deramas said that the film will be a Filipino version of the American film, Meet the Fockers, but with more funny moments inside it. Contrary to public perception, the film is actually not a continuation of Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat (2008). Rather, the film adds to Ai-Ai delas Alas's list of "Ina" films; hence her respectively being deemed as a "Tanging Ina." The film's gross revenue was ₱79 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
