Remember that movie that tore our hearts out and made us believe in a love that was just a little too complicated? The one with the “girl with black lipstick” and the poet who wrote a hundred poems for her? Well, get ready to feel all those emotions all over again because after a long eight-year wait, the iconic blockbuster 100 Tula Para Kay Stella is finally getting a sequel!

This isn’t just a rerun; it’s a new chapter, a different kind of pain, and a whole lot of second chances.

Mark your calendars, because on September 10, 2025, we’re all going back to the cinema to see the return of our favorite “mapanakit” tandem, Bela Padilla as Stella and JC Santos as Fidel.

The story picks up 15 years after their last encounter. Stella and Fidel are living separate lives, each trying to fix the pieces of their broken pasts. Stella is a successful event organizer, finally free from a toxic relationship. Fidel is still grappling with his stuttering, a hurdle he’s seemingly given up on.

Their paths cross again in the most poetic way possible: a song. A rising star named Clyde (played by the talented Kyle Echarri) performs a song about a girl with black lipstick. Stella, curious, asks who wrote it. Enter Fidel, who reveals he’s been Clyde’s ghostwriter all along, pouring his unsaid feelings for Stella into every lyric.

Their feelings, long buried, reignite. It’s a powerful moment that makes you wonder if their love was ever really gone. But this time, the stakes are higher. Can they overcome their personal struggles and support each other through the mess? Or will the pain from their past be too much to handle, causing them to fall apart all over again?

This is a story about pain, growth, and the courage it takes to fight for the love you deserve. It’s a reminder that we all have our own monsters to face, but facing them together might just be the only way to win.

Tickets are priced at ₱275.00 in Metro Manila and ₱230.00 in provincial cinemas. Don’t miss this one, guys. I have a feeling we’re all going to be needing a whole box of tissues.
