Promotions
Villa Estrella had a lack of promotion from both Star Cinema and ABS-CBN, having no movie premiere night due to the lead actors Shaina Magdayao, Jake Cuenca and Maja Salvador being in the United States for the Star Magic World Concert Tour from June 26–28 at Ontario and San Francisco, California. Making it nearly impossible for them to fly back to Manila in time to have their movie premiere night.[4]
