On October 12, love surely wins as Star Cinema releases “The Third Party” starring Angel Locsin as the “third party” to gay lovers played by Sam Milby and Zanjoe Marudo. During the film’s media party launch last Wednesday, the three expressed excitement over this project, which gives importance and value to our LGBT community. Angel and Sam have worked together in “Only You” TV series in 2010, while Angel and Zanjoe were together in 2012 MMFF entry “One More Try”. Sam and Zanjoe figured in a love triangle with Toni Gonzaga in “You Got Me” back in 2007. This is the first time the three will be together in a film, which is directed by Jason Paul Laxamana.
