Marcos meets cast of 'The Last Resort'
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Wednesday met the cast and crew of the film ''The Last Resort," which stars Daisy Ridley and Alden Ehrenreich.
During the courtesy call at the Malacañang Palace, the crew and cast showed few short clips of the movie to the President, who expressed his appreciation to the filmmakers for showcasing the Philippines and contributing to the promotion of the country's tourism as well as film industries.
''I am so happy that now that you are in fact here and the work has started and it's all terribly exciting for all of us and thank you for coming to the Philippines... hopefully helping us project the Philippines out into the world, the way Filipinos see our own country and it's a country we're very, very proud of,'' Marcos said.
The romantic comedy film is backed by business magnate Manuel Pangilinan as executive producer, along with producers Ernesto "Bong" Sta. Maria Jr. and Raja Collins.
Earlier reports said the movie follows a hotel executive sent to scout a new resort location in the Philippines. She will soon meet Ben, a charming expatriate charter pilot.

Michelle Dee gives update following dog bite
Michelle Dee gave an update after her pet dog accidentally bit her on the face. In Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras," Thursday, the Sparkle star assured that it was only a freak accident with no aggression from her pet. "Her mouth was open, my face was right [beside her], kasi magkatabi kami eh. So parang naganun lang. And that's why the abrasion is actually not super deep. It was just really skin," Michelle said. Michelle reminds the public to act quickly in similar situations. "First thing is get your anti-tetanus and your rabies shots. With things like this, there are no cures, so you don't want to take the chance. I can't miss a beat and I think my next shot is tomorrow," she said. After leaving the emergency room, Michelle headed to Dr. Vicki Belo's clinic. "Dun ako nakahinga after the experts saw what happened. It should heal in the next two to three weeks," she said. Meanwhile, Michelle said that she will release a new music video for "Reyna" in celebration of pride month. "It's very camp. It's a little different from the music video that came out but still very close to my heart. And siyempre, abangan din po natin 'yung second single ko that's coming out very, very soon. I can't wait for that also," she said. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
