Pokwang, as Teresa, plays a call center agent who is still adjusting to her job. She chooses to endure the attitude of her mean team leader, played by Enchong Dee, for the sake of keeping her family whole. As a desperate race against time to unite her family and win back the affections of her estranged daughter Regina (Jessy Mendiola). By some twist of fate, Teresa (who worked in a cruise ship for 13 years) lands a job in a call center where her daughter Regina is also employed thus providing her with the perfect opportunity to rekindle her broken relationship with her daughter.
In the process, Teresa encounters a diverse bunch of people from different walks of life, including their team leader Vince (Enchong Dee). She then gradually appreciates the concept of extended families and ultimately, Teresa, Regina, and even Vince learns the true value of family as they discover their individual purposes in life.

Enchong once again showcases his very wide and impressive range as an actor,” Cuaresma said.
Jessy is also equally very brilliant in the film, she is a natural comedian. And Pokwang's comic timing is her flair for comedy never ceases to amaze me. It’s been quite a while since we saw Pokwang in a major comedic role in a full-length feature film,” Cuaresma added.
Ejay Falcon, from PBB said this is his first comedy movie. "I'm thankful to Star Cinema for giving me a chance to work with great director and cast.”
Enchong shared “It’s such a challenge to make other people laugh and I learned a lot from our director and my co-actors, I grew as an actor in making this film and it’s great to take a break from drama this time. It was so fun to play the vicious role of Vince. It’s exciting to see how his character will turn out in the movie.”
“Call Center Girl,” a riotous and has all the elements of a good and unforgettable family movie, set to hit the theaters nationwide on November 27.
