Nag-post ang award-winning director na si Jun Lana ng larawan nila ni Vice Ganda sa X (dating Twitter) ngayong Martes, January 7, 2025.

Ayon kay Jun, iyon ang kauna-unahang larawan nila ni Vice na hudyat din ng kanilang magandang paglalakbay sa paggawa ng And The Breadwinner Is...

Ngayong araw dapat ang pagtatapos ng pagpapalabas ng mga kalahok na pelikula sa 50th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), pero na-extend ito hanggang January 14, 2025.

Pero magkaganunman, labis daw ipinagmamalaki ni Jun ang pelikula nila ni Vice.

Buong mensahe ni Jun sa caption, "Whether or not today is the last day of the MMFF, I'm bursting with pride for And The Breadwinner Is.

"This photo, one of the first I ever took with Vice, marked the beginning of an incredible journey together, and this is just the start! #AndTheBreadwinnerIs"
