Notable names in the Philippine entertainment industry gave glowing reviews of 'Family History,' a family drama movie written, produced, and directed by multi-awarded comedian and content creator Michael V.

Celebrities react to amazing story of 'Family History'

OPM singer Jessa Zaragoza, who attended the grand premiere night last July 23 with her family, wrote a lengthy review about 'Family History' via Instagram.

Jessa pointed out that her Pepito Manaloto co-star made sure that his film is 'unpredictable' and 'well written.'

“THIS IS A MUST WATCH FILM! lalo na ng bawat Pamilyang Pilipino. The script was so well written,” Caught my self crying and laughing at the same time, at some points.”

“What a brilliant plot you've created there, scriptwriter, and director @Michaelbitoy. One more thing that I admire about it is 'di ka natakot lumihis sa predictable storytelling ng isang Filipino film (you know what I mean). Ang galing bitoy! And as expected (for somebody who knows you so well, dahil 8 years na tayong magkasama sa PEPITO MANALOTO), I love the attention to detail to each scene.”
