GMA Films president Annette Gozon-Abrogar is very happy about this development. "We are overwhelmed with the box-office success of BFGF. So far, this is our highest grossing Valentine movie on its four days. We hope that the good word of mouth continues to that more and more people will get to enjoy the movie," she says.

Abacan, GMA Films supervising producer, takes pride in his bold forecast prior to the release of BFGF. "Once I was quoted that this is the best Valentine's movie that we have produced so far. I thank God that what I said was confirmed by the numbers. We're happy that our objective to create a quality blockbuster was met in BFGF."
The simple story of this romantic comedy was told on the big screen by director Mark Reyes. "It is really gratifying that the Filipino audience accepted a non-traditional type of story," he says with relief. "It's always tricky to do a romantic comedy in the Philippine context. But with the success of BFGF, it proves that as an audience, our cinematic sensibilities are evolving. A big Kapuso thank you to everyone who watched!"
