MANILA, Philippines - For the first time in the history of Philippine movies, 15 of the biggest names in the Kapamilya network are starring in the Star Cinema film 24/7 In Love.
The star-studded romance anthology is part of the 20th-anniversary celebration of Star Magic, ABS-CBN’s talent management arm.

In the hopes of scoring VIP tickets to the upcoming concert of her ultimate crush, Billy Fernandez (Daniel), Jane (played by Kathryn) joins a video-making contest wherein entries are asked to answer the question: What will you do if the world comes to an end?
As she searches for the perfect answer for the contest, she gets to meet different people who will impart eye-opening answers and lessons on love.

The driven account executive Patty (Kim) has to save her job by finding a guy (Gerald), who rescued his neighbors from a fire fiasco in his underwear and became an instant celebrity.
Also part of the cast are Star Magic talents John Lapus, Maricar Reyes, Jayson Gainza, Matt Evans, Nina Dolino, Joseph Marco, Jason Francisco, Helga Krapf, Andrei Felix, Seppi Borromeo and Ian Russel.
