As CreaZion Studios’ President and CEO Anter San Agustin concluded the segment, he shared the reason why the production team went all in with this masterpiece and asked for the council to request for more cinema allocations:

“At humihingi po kami ng pagkakataon na sana madagdag ang aming sinehan dahil napakarami pong tao ang nagrerequest na mapanood ang Isang Himala. A lot of people have been asking us, CreaZion Studios, why did we invest or gamble into this film despite the fact that we don't have stars. The only answer is, why not? These people behind me, they're all stars. Thank you so much, the ensemble cast, the actors, the producers behind this, and of course, our director.

Maraming maraming salamat sa talento. Naniniwala kami na ang mga taga-teatro ay mahuhusay na artista at meron rin silang karapatang mapagbigyan ng isang platform para mas marami pang tao ang makakita kung ano ang meron sila.”

Despite its critical acclaim and numerous accolades, Isang Himala is available only in nine major cinemas and Cinema ‘76. With limited screenings, don’t miss the chance to witness this modern Filipino cinematic masterpiece— Philippine theater and film coming together. See the magic come alive on screen!
