The Movie That Gets You: Why I’m Watching THE LAST BEERGIN on October 1st

You know those nights, right? The ones where you’re just with friends, a few drinks on the table, and suddenly… someone says something real. Something honest. And the night turns into this beautiful, messy therapy session.

That’s what this new movie feels like.

THE LAST BEERGIN, from the brilliant minds behind Family Matters, isn’t just another film. It’s a mirror. It’s a group of five strangers, five different stories, all coming together for one unforgettable night. They’re not there to solve the world’s problems, just to share a drink and maybe, finally, be seen.

A Toast to All of Us

This isn’t a movie about alcohol. It’s about what happens when you finally let your guard down. It’s about the truths we hide behind a smile and the pain we chase away with silence.

And the cast? A complete dream team.

• Cherry Pie Picache is playing a woman at her breaking point.
• JC Santos is a guy who just can’t bring himself to talk.
• Zaijian Jaranilla is a young man whose love story is completely invisible.
• Xyriel Manabat is showing us the real struggle behind a life of privilege.
• Pepe Herrera is a father running from the one thing he can’t face.

I can already tell this film is going to hit home for a lot of us. It’s a celebration of vulnerability, a reminder that we’re not alone in our struggles, and a beautiful picture of what it means to be Filipino in 2025—a little emotionally loaded, a little bit quietly hurting, but always ready for one more round with the people who get it.

Don’t miss it. THE LAST BEERGIN is in cinemas starting October 1st. Grab your barkada, and maybe a box of tissues, and let’s all go watch it together.
