Maja Salvador and Zanjoe Marudo portray the role of best friends who will take us on their turbulent journey of falling in love, riding the waves, enduring the bumps, and confronting the dilemma of staying friends or fighting for their relationship in the film “To Love Some Buddy.” The film tells the story of hardworking marketing professional Faith (Salvador) and aspiring musician Julius (Marudo). After being caught in an awkward situation, the former college classmates meet again and develop an unlikely friendship. Their friendship deepens, and they find themselves falling in love with each other. But their relationship will be put to the test as expectations and problems creep into their lives, leading them to realize that sometimes, choosing to commit to someone is also choosing to grow. This is the first time that Salvador and Marudo will team up in a film written and directed by Jason Paul Laxamana, and produced by ABS- CBN Films’ new production arm, Black Sheep. Also part of the film are Donny Pangilinan and Phoebe Walker in their first movie under ABS-CBN Films. Will things work out for Faith and Julius once they take their relationship to the next level?
