Himala and Oro Plata Mata were digitally remastered/restored by Star Cinema last year. They should still be available in many Astrovision and Odyssey branches. .

Ganito Kami Noon Paano Kayo Ngayon will be available on DVD on most video stores on April 3.

To our resident reviewers, we're waiting for your comments. From the looks of it, it's not yet remastered. Is it worth buying?

Have not seen the actual item yet myself, but the posted cover does say "digitally restored and re-mastered" above the title.

^ Thanks, now I see it. I didn't notice it before since I'm using a tablet

Any chance you'll get this title?

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #3 on:** Apr 04, 2014 at 10:46 PM »

I tried buying this today at Astrovision Robinsons Magnolia. It's not in their inventory. Was it released on time? Will try other branches.

Sana lumabas na ito soon. Will definitely grab a copy. Keep us posted if anyone spots where this becomes available, thanks!

Yes, I'll be getting it too as soon as I see it.

Looked for this title at Astro & Odyssey Megamall this afternoon. So far, it's still not available.

edwn1220 · « **Reply #7 on:** Apr 05, 2014 at 07:02 PM »

The April 3rd release date was mentioned in the post above, but the year wasn't

edwn1220 · « **Reply #8 on:** Apr 06, 2014 at 07:51 AM »

Tried to check any reference on the release and availability of this title in DVD via Google, but I came up with nothing.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #9 on:** Apr 09, 2014 at 02:11 PM »

Not available in Astrovision V-Mall today, nor at Astrovision Greenbelt 5 last Sunday.

Baka nga April 3, 2015 pa. LOL

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #11 on:** Apr 10, 2014 at 10:52 PM »

No, it's not.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #12 on:** Apr 13, 2014 at 04:02 PM »

April 13, wala pa rin. Checked the Astro in Megamall.

Was able to get a copy from Landmark today.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #14 on:** Apr 16, 2014 at 05:59 PM »

Thanks. Hirap hanapin. Went to Astro in SM Aura, SM Sta. Mesa and Robinsons Magnolia yesterday/today, and none had copies. Hindi naubusan, they never had copies to begin with.

Anyone else with sightings of other places we might be able to buy it?

^ My staff was able to get me two copies at ASTROVISION SM Marikina.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #16 on:** Apr 16, 2014 at 08:21 PM »

Any reviews? Are there any features, or is it a barebones release?

I just did a quick scan of the DVD. It's a dual-layer disc. Here's a screenshot of the Special Features menu:

Nice, thanks! Will have to wait until Saturday to look for it again.

Meron na pala! I went there yesterday morning, but did not see any copies on the shelves. Did not bother to ask the Astro staff. Sayang.....

Poor marketing and distribution, that's what it is. At this time, maybe only a handful of people knew the popularity of this film back then and only those who knew the title debuted in DVD are looking, given the fact its release was not even mentioned in the web when I googled it a few weeks ago.

ABS-CBN did carry ads promoting the release of the DVD. That's where I found out about it. But yeah, their distribution isn't that good.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 17, 2014 at 11:55 AM »

I actually heard of the release of this DVD from a TV commercial that was playing during a primetime telenovela on ABS-CBN. Annoyingly, instead of giving a proper release date, the commercial ended with the voice over guy saying "Available Soon."

allanmandy · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 17, 2014 at 12:03 PM »

I think the ad also mentions "high definition" so I thought this will be the first local Blu-ray title to be released.

Mayroon na sa Astro Plus SM North.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #25 on:** Apr 19, 2014 at 08:33 PM »

Meron na sa Astro Robinsons Magnolia, ubos na sa Astro Greenbelt 5.

Looks like you really scoured the Metro for a copy. Congrats for finally getting one!

Random thoughts:

1. Glad to finally see a Filipino DVD that offers Tagalog subtitles instead of just English ones.

2. Very good picture quality.

3. The audio remastering seems to have taken a backseat to the video restoration; in at least two scenes, the voice of Gloria Diaz changes in pitch/tone while reciting a long stretch of dialogue.

4. Interesting documentary (so far).

5. The scrolling script pages feature (similar to the one in Oro Plata Mata) is still odd, but nice.

jas · « **Reply #28 on:** Apr 21, 2014 at 07:45 AM »

Got one at Astro Trinoma.

edwn1220 · « **Reply #29 on:** Apr 26, 2014 at 04:22 PM »

Is it formatted in anamorphic widescreen?
