My Only U is a 15th anniversary offering of Star Cinema and will be shown in theaters starting October 29, 2008.

 After the box-office success of A Very Special Love, Star Cinema director Cathy Garcia-Molina admits the pressure is definitely on for her next film, the Vhong Navarro-Toni Gonzaga starrer My Only U. “Yun yung pinakamahirap para sa akin. Every time I do the next film after another is yung mapantayan or mahigitan yung expectations. It's always in mind pero ang hirap din. There's so much pressure on me, but lagi ko na lang iniisip na ang intensyon ko bilang director is to entertain in any way. Kaya sana ma-entertain kayo. Yun lang po, what’s in my heart, is to entertain,”loch she says. The director also shares how she deals with all the pressures surrounding her. “lochI pray. ‘Pag ganun mga panahong hindi na natin kaya, si Lord lang talaga inspiration, yung strength, i-clear yung mind,” she admits.

Aside from wrapping up the movie which premieres on October 28, the director is said to be busy working on Angel Locsin’s Star Cinema movie which will be shown next year. With her steady stream of projects, Cathy admits she feels blessed to always be working. “Wala masyadong pahinga ngayon. While I am ending one film, kino-conceptualize na yung next. Nagkataon lang siguro na taghirap lang ngayon yung mga director, maraming nandiyan pero ako naman ay exclusive sa Star Cinema,” she adds. Direk Cathy also says that as of the moment, she has no plans to do other projects aside from films. “Kasi hindi naman ako taga-TV talaga, taga-pelikula na talaga ako from the very beginning. So my heart stays with film,”loch she explains.

Having directed lead actress Toni Gonzaga in her first two films You are the One and You Got Me, Direk Cathy admits that she had no problem working with her lead actress. And even though this is her first time to work with Vhong as a lead actor, she has nothing but praises for the comedian. The My Only U director also shares why she thinks Toni and Vhong work so well on screen together. “lochFor me, it’s their built-in rapport. It’s my first time to work with Vhong, kahit sa TV first time. The last time na nagkasama kami Got 2 Believe pa eh. Nung first time ko sila na-meet nung storycon, nagulat ako kasi ang kulit pala nilang dalawa ‘pag sila lang. So sabi ko parang yun yung gusto kong ma-capture on film, how they are in real life and how they deal with each other. Kasi as it is, parang ang ganda na, nakakatuwa, nakakaliw, may konting kilig. In-enhance na lang natin. Actually, built-in sa kanila yung chemistry, ako wala masyadong ginagawa sa movie na ito,”loch she says.
