With years of success in her music and acting career, Angeline Quinto reaches a new milestone as she celebrates her fifteenth anniversary in the entertainment industry. This special occasion marks her debut as both lead actress and producer for the upcoming film “Ang Happy Homes ni Diane Hilario.”
The film was produced by KreativDen Entertainment, Angeline’s talent management and content production company. This venture highlights her ongoing growth as an artist, as she continuously explores new creative avenues within the industry. Known for producing films and digital series that resonate with Filipino values, KreativDen Entertainment collaborated with Angeline on this project, which promises to captivate Filipino audiences.
Centered around the lively tenement called “Happy Homes,” the story follows a close-knit community of tenants who treat each other like family. Amid their shared struggles and strong bonds, a series of unfortunate and unrelated deaths begin to haunt their lives. As suspicions rise and secrets come to light, the residents find themselves entangled in an unexpected mystery that challenges their trust and sense of justice.
“Ang Happy Homes ni Diane Hilario” is directed by the seasoned filmmaker Direk Marlon M. Rivera, renowned for his iconic comedy “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank.” He approaches the story with a fearless perspective, portraying a neighbor who not only shares space but also stands together through times of despair.
During the advance screening and press conference held last November 7, 2025, at SM Aura Premier, Angeline shared that working with Direk Marlon was a true honor. “Alam niyo po, sa totoo lang, ngayon ko lang po sasabihin, si Direk Marlon Rivera talaga ang dream director ko,” she revealed.
Beyond her musical background, Angeline believes there’s no harm in returning to acting. “Bilang isang singer, kasi mag-fifteen years na po ako next year, wala naman siguro masama kung subukan ko ulit umarte dahil po sa pagkanta, minahal ko rin po ang acting,” she explained.
The film boasts a star-studded cast, led by Eugene Domingo, who shares remarkable on-screen chemistry with Angeline Quinto. Joining them are Luis Alandy, Paolo Contis, and Richard Yap—all portraying relatable characters that reflect the everyday experiences and dynamics of a Filipino community.
“Ang Happy Homes ni Diane Hilario” is set to premiere on December 3, 2025, in cinemas nationwide.
