This is a long-delayed post, I know, since I’m pretty sure most of you have already watched this film (if you haven’t yet, you’re missing a whole damn lot!!!) However, I still want to write about this since I gave my word to Erickson Raymundo (one of the producers of the film, along with fellow Spring Films people Joyce Bernal and Piolo Pascual) that I’ll write about this. Kimmy Dora Kambal Sa Kiyeme was so damn funny, wasn’t it?
Erickson, you were right on the money! 
Hearty congratulations to Eugene Domingo (you were so fab! I think you’re the only Pinay actress who successfully made my mom laugh so damn hard! LOL), Dingdong Dantes, Zanjoe Marudo (hello, six pack!), Miriam Quiambao (you surprised me!), Ariel Ureta and Baron Geisler!
My mom and I watched this flick in one of the theaters here in Mindanao. Eugene was so funny and Muy (the scene stealer maid of the rich Kimmy), who, incidentally, is Piolo’s real life personal assistant, was funny, too! My favorite part of the movie was when Ariel (Kimmy and Dora’s father) wanted to talk to both his daughters. Major laugh trip!!!
For those of you who have yet to watch the flick, Kimmy Dora is the tale of polar-opposite twin sisters, Kimmy and Dora (doh). Both of them are heiresses to the large Go Dong Hae fortune. And, of course, both of them are “linked” to the handsome Johnson, played by Dingdong Dantes.
Basta…if you haven’t watched this film yet, well there’s really one thing you ought to do…YOU MUST WATCH NOW NA! Kimmy Dora is by far the highest grossing independently produced film and I think it’s still showing in several theaters nationwide.
Mindanaoan recommends Kimmy Dora!
What about you…where you able to watch it? What are your thoughts about the film?

I must admit, I’m kilig to the bones. Although I know by heart every single word Piolo Pascual said in this video greeting that he did (I should because I wrote the words LOL), I still cannot help but feel giddy. Piolo is Piolo! And he has always been very nice to me…so I have nothing but respect and admiration for the man. The last time I spoke to him was when I watched the ASAP show live at ABS-CBN Manila late last year. And I tell you, he really is one charmer! 
Check out the video greeting he did for his “fellow Bukidnons” (he, along with “Love Me Again – Land Down Under” co-star Angel Locsin, is an adopted child of the Province of Bukidnon) in time for the Kaamulan 2009. Piolo’s looking dapper in that video, don’t you think?
Thank you very much to Miss Mariole and Miss Lulu for granting our request and for making this Piolo Pascual video greeting for Bukidnon possible! Madakel ha salamat! (Thank you very much) My heartfelt thanks also to Miss Joy and Miss Wheng for the assistance.
And of course, my biggest thanks to Piolo Pascual. You made a lot of people very happy with this gesture. Salamat tungkay! Madakel ha salamat!
