1st ko si 3rd is delightfully charming. It is frequently hilarious and genuinely clever…” – Zig Marasigan, Rappler

“1ST KO SI 3RD a poignant story about ageing and living one’s choices. Finally Nova Villa is given a role to show how great an actress she is. Catch it!” – Audie Gemora, Theater Actor & Producer

“It’s unpretentious, Pinoy na Pinoy. I loved it!” – Tony Mabesa, Renowned Theater Artist, Film & TV Actor

“It is unpretentious but it is all heart, something most sophisticated or avant-garde films rarely possess.”– Brun Philippines Critic Circle

“She (Nova Villa) and her director give us something else. Not only can we read each emotion as it passes across her face – giddiness, self-reproach, embarrassment, guilt, fear – but she seems to go from teenager to adult to senior in the space of a minute.” – Jessica Zafra, Writer

Villa and Webb reunites decades after and Villa shares in her recent interviews on working with Web again, “Wala naming nagbago diyan. Ganun pa rin siya. Alam mo ang tao, ang nagbabago lang yung hitsura pero ang puso, ang isip, yun pa rin. Loving pa rin. Kalog. Ganyan siya,” she said as the two smiled at each other.” (“Nothing changed in him.  He’s still the same.  People’s appearance change, but the heart and mind as you’ve known them, it’s still the same. He’s still loving and funny.  He’s like that.”)
