GINA ALAJAR AND CARLO AQUINO-MATER DOLOROSAAfter the phenomenal success of the Cinema One Originals “That Thing Called Tadhana” last month, another Cinema One Originals film, “Mater Dolorosa” has become the top Filipino movie released on iTunes since it became available in January 2014 as one of ABS-CBN’s offerings on the popular music and movie purchasing site.

“I am proud that Cinema One is able to provide an alternative lineup of movies that suits the taste of our audience. ‘Mater Dolorosa’ is an edgy family drama that is well-received locally and has bagged major awards in various prestigious local award giving bodies. Its success does not surprise me because the film’s story is impeccable. It is what viewers enjoy,” said Cinema One channel head Ronald Arguelles.

While she tries to manage the issues enveloping her family, a new mayor steps in, forcing her to change the way she runs her business and how she deals with ghosts from the past.
