Magdangal and Agustin were a formidable love team during the 90s, headlining a number of movies and TV shows, among them are the youth-oriented “Gimik,” “Flames,” and “Labs Ko si Babe.”

The singer-actress herself was considered a pop icon, and is even dubbed the “Queen of Philippine Pop Culture” and the original “Multimedia Superstar.”

For this reunion project, the two are banking on their loyal fandom to support their series.

“Natutuwa ako, kapag nakikita nila ang MarJo, ang aming samahan ay napapanahon. Kumbaga, nag e-evolve din. Na nung bata kami, ganito ang awayan noon, hanggang sa nagkaron na kami ng families. And kung ano man yung pwede nilang ika-relate sa samahan namin ni Marvin, napapanahon din. Kaya nandito pa rin kami hanggang ngayon,” she said.

“Isang level up ng kiligan at pagmamahalan,” the actor said.
