REGAL FILMS' TRIBUTE TO ALL MOTHERS: "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL!

It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday, May 11. To all mothers, Happy Mother’s Day!


Did you know that sometime in the 80s Regal Films could come up with a special movie? It's Mother Lily Monteverde's (Regal matriarch) way of paying tribute and homage to a very important and dear person in our life, our Mother. It became a yearly event and their initial offering was in 1981 when they released “Oh My Mama,” a Maricel Soriano-William Martinez starrer. Soon, it became an annual tradition for the movie company. It goes on for the next three years. The studio released the following --- 1982, “Mother Dear,” 1983, “To Mama with Love” and finally, in 1984, “Dear Mama.”
