Kapuso singer and actress Aicelle Santos took the spotlight as the upcoming musical film Isang Himala released its first trailer. The film will be one of the 10 official entries in the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival this year.

The film is based on the theatrical play "Himala: Isang Musikal" where Aicelle also portrayed the role of Elsa. The original movie titled Himala which starred Nora Aunor was first seen in 1982.

CreaZion Studios, the film's production company, shared the trailer on its Facebook page.

On Instagram, Aicelle shared the trailer and a video of her rehearsing for the film, captioning the video, “It's been a while.”

“Taking on Elsa again after 5 years. A lot has happened and a lot has changed. But one thing remains - I'll still and will always be grateful to be able to go back to my first love, singing, and musical theater. And this time, in the movies."
