The queer supernatural comedy features screen veterans, top digital creators, and drag stars in nationwide cinemas.
Filipino entertainers from film and television, social media, and drag performance come together in “Multwoh (Patay na Patay Sa’yo),” the Puregold CinePanalo film bringing queer romance, comedy, and supernatural twists to cinemas nationwide starting today, October 21.
Directed by Rodina Singh, the film follows Marcel (Sassa Gurl), a college student who returns as a ghost after dying before confessing her feelings to her best friend, Miguel (Joao Constancia). As Marcel tries to settle her unfinished business, she encounters a colorful cast of characters.
Joining the leads are John Lapus, Iyah Mina, Phi Palmos, Mae Paner, Buboy Villar, Migs Almendras, Lui Manansala, Eric Fructuoso, Tart Carlos, and KaladKaren, alongside Inah Evans and Christian Antolin, who have also built followings through online comedy.
Digital creators Pipay, Gaia Poly, Yani Villarosa, and Arman Salon bring their comedic personas to the big screen, while Chino Liu, known for his Krissy Achino persona, and AC Soriano are recognized for their celebrity impersonations. Sophie Prime, Abby Salle, and Stella Salle also join the lineup.
Rounding out the cast are beauty queen Dia Mate, Denzel Chang, Red Dilla, Casey Puo, Alfy Bara, Ice Neo, and Sesable, alongside drag performers Sofia Trazona, Pura Luka Vega, Shewarma, Russia Fox, Tiny Deluxe, and Matiduh.

For these creators, the film offers a new platform to showcase their talents beyond social media, introducing moviegoers to familiar online personalities in a different light.
Singh also aims to tell queer stories that entertain while exploring deeper emotions. During the film’s Puregold CinePanalo screenings, she encountered audiences who connected with its story on a personal level, reinforcing the importance of representation.
“Queer stories don’t have to be tragic to be taken seriously. And they don’t have to be serious to matter,” she said.
With “Multwoh,” Singh set out to create something funny, romantic, and unapologetically entertaining without sacrificing the emotional truths beneath its absurdity. The film explores love, grief, and remembrance while celebrating the humor, friendships, and everyday experiences that shape queer lives.
As Singh reflected, “What if, instead of remembering queer people only through how they died, we remembered them through how they lived? Through the people they loved, the friendships they built, the ridiculous things they did, and the joy they brought into other people’s lives?”
The film won four awards at the 2026 Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival: Panalo sa mga Manonood (Audience Award), Panalo sa Production Design, Panalo sa Brand Intrusion, and Puregold Always Panalo.
Starting October 21, “Multwoh (Patay na Patay Sa’yo)” screens at 13 Ayala Cinemas: Glorietta, TriNoma, Market!
