Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera fulfilled a long-standing dream by filming their upcoming movie Remember in Quebec, Canada, although the overseas production also presented an emotional challenge for the actress as she had to spend two weeks away from their children for the first time.

During the film's global media conference on October 22, the married celebrities opened up about their experience working together on an international production. Dingdong shared that making a movie outside the Philippines had been something they had hoped to accomplish for a long time.
“Matagal na namin pangarap na gumawa ng anything outside the country, much more a film. Kaya naging perfect din yung Quebec at saka yung kuwento dahil ang daming first para sa amin. Pero ang pinaka na-enjoy ko siyempre ay bukod sa mga pasyalan, kasi pag-cut ni direk may konting lakad lakad tapos may nahanap kami na napakasarap na ice cream. Gustong gusto namin balikan kung pupuwede lang, mga side quests. But it’s the overall experience of shooting in a foreign land, especially pag napaka-lapit sa iyo ng materyal na ginagawa mo. Parang ang sarap sa pakiramdam. At pinaka, lalo na, dahil katrabaho mo ang pinakamamahal mo sa buhay di ba? So ang ganda ng experience,” he told the members of the media.
For Marian, however, accepting the project required considerable preparation because of her responsibilities as a mother. She initially hesitated when she learned that the production would take place overseas for two weeks.

“Actually, nung nilatag sa akin na sa ibang bansa gagawin, medyo sabi ko, ‘Dad, parang kailangan natin mag-usap. Parang hindi ako ready kasi maiiwan ko yung mga bata.’Since ako yung nag-aasikaso sa kanila. So ang daming usap, ang dami kong kinausap. And then rinemind niya ako, ‘Di ba ito yung dream natin? Makapag-shoot tayo sa ibang bansa. Baka ito na yung chance natin.’ Sabi ko, ‘Hmmm…sige.’ So naging mahirap para sa akin yun. Siguro ilang buwan ko kinausap yung mga anak ko para sa araw na aalis ako, handa na kami, pati ako. So naging okay.
The actress explained that she spent several months preparing their children for her temporary absence while also making sure she was emotionally ready for the separation.
Her perspective changed further after she watched the movie's trailer, which reminded her why accepting the opportunity had been worthwhile.
“Tapos nung napanuod ko yung trailer, talagang ina-admit ko na naging emotional ako. Para maisip ko na mahirap mawalay sa mga anak, pero worth it din pala nung napanuod ko yung pelikula. Kaya nasabi ko, ‘Ang sarap gumawa ng isang pelikula na malapit sa puso mo na ma-o-offer mo sa kapwa Pilipino mo na hindi mo alam kung ano pinagdadaanan nila, pero isa lang ang malinaw sa amin dito, ang misyon namin, mabigyan kayo ng hope at pag-asa, kung ano man ang pinagdadaanan niyo,” she recalled.
Beyond the emotional experience, Marian also described several coincidences during their stay in Quebec that she interpreted as encouraging signs. One particularly memorable moment happened when they entered a church and noticed something that reminded her of her tattoo.
“May tattoo kasi ako dito (sa film). Nung pumasok kami sa simbahan, pag tingala namin sa ceiling, same sa tattoo, which was a snowflake. Sa loob ng simbahan mismo yun. Tinawag ko agad siya (si Dingdong), sabi ko, ‘Dad, it’s a sign! It’s a sign!’ Kasi nakakatuwa, ang dami namang puwedeng pagkakataon, pero bakit pareho sa tattoo ko yung nasa simbahan? So ang daming mga moment. Katulad niyan, sa mga plate number ng mga sasakyan dun (nakalagay) ibig sabihin pala nun ‘I remember.’ Eh yun yung title ng pelikula namin na hindi namin sinasadya,” she said.
She also pointed out that some vehicle license plates carried a meaning associated with the movie's title, making the coincidences even more memorable for her.
Meanwhile, Marian addressed comparisons between Remember and their 2023 blockbuster movie Rewind, particularly because both titles begin with the letter R. She clarified that the similarity was never part of a deliberate naming strategy.
“Alam mo, nagkataon lang rin talaga. Oo, parang hindi siya plinano na kailangan R yung nagsimula, i-R rin natin ito. Walang ganun. Nagkataon lang siguro sa flow ng story, yung emosyon na kailangan namin ipahatid sa mga manunuod,” she added.
Directed by Mae Cruz Alviar, Remember also features Joross Gamboa, Ana Abad Santos, and Zia Grace. The film is a collaboration among ABS-CBN Studios, APT Entertainment, Regal Entertainment Inc., and AgostoDos Pictures.
The movie is scheduled to premiere exclusively in cinemas on November 11.
Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera are one of the Philippines' most prominent real-life celebrity power couples, widely celebrated for their massive success in television and film. Following their record-breaking blockbuster Rewind, they reunite on the big screen as an estranged couple in the dramatic film Remember.
In another report, Marian Rivera expressed excitement over her upcoming movie Remember, where she stars alongside her husband, Dingdong Dantes. The actress revealed that her family became emotional after watching the film’s teaser, particularly her eldest daughter, Zia.
Meanwhile, Marian Rivera once again expressed admiration for her daughter Zia Dantes after sharing a video of the young girl playing the piano. Zia showcased her musical skills by performing Yiruma’s “River Flows In You” on an acoustic piano. Marian also shared how proud she is of her daughter’s passion and dedication to music.
