hoping that our local stores will have this and be priced at P350 like other 2-disc releases. one of my favorites pa naman 'to.

This is a Sony release, so if it would ever get released here, expect it to retail at 895 or 475 (budget edition). I think the 350-buck 2-disc releases you were referring to are Warner titles.
