It was first announced in the now defunct showbiz news program, SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon.[4] The film's tentative title was I Honestly Love You and later changed to UnOfficially Yours.[5] The film's principal photography started September 21, 2011 in Batangas and in the headquarters of the Manila Bulletin in Makati City.
Promotion
The cinema trailer was released during the previews of the also Star Cinema produced films, Enteng Ng Ina Mo and Segunda Mano. The full trailer was televised on January 29, 2012 during Locsin and Cruz's guesting on the talk show, Gandang Gabi, Vice!. It became a worlwide trending topic on the social networking site, Twitter. The film became the front page cover of the February 15, 2012 issue of the Manila Bulletin during its premiere day.
Music
The film's official soundtrack is "If You Asked Me To" originally sung by Patti LaBelle. It is covered by Erik Santos and Angeline Quinto. The song's music video was released on Star Cinema's official YouTube account. [6]
Reception
Critical Response
The film is graded "B" by the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines with a rating of R-13. Philbert Ortiz Dy of ClicktheCity.com gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and said "Unofficially Yours is sweet enough, but it ends up ringing false.. The characters lose sympathy once the movie enters its melodramatic third act, and whatever charm the film still had dissipates as it contrives the elements of romcom formula."
Box Office
According to ABS-CBN News, the film opened with an P18.5 million gross nationwide. Unofficially Yours reportedly have grossed, so far, over P100 million.[7] [8]

UnOfficially Yours will have an international premiere night on February 24, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA in Alex Theater.
