Opening her caption, Saab recounted how amazed Vito was when the soundtrack started playing in the film:

"We watched Forgotten Island last night and Vito couldn’t believe it when he heard 'Mga Kababayan' 🥹 He's a huge FrancisM fan!!! He said 'This was the popstar version, right?' because he knows from other animated films that some songs have 2 versions (like Moana, etc). Haha so cute! Great job @officialsb19 🙌🏼"

Throughout the closing credits, Vito sat upright in his chair, quietly scanning every single line on the giant theater screen. When Saab asked him what he was waiting for, he proudly answered, "Francis M!"
