It was first announced in the now defunct showbiz news program, SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon.[5] The film's tentative title was I Honestly Love You and later changed to UnOfficially Yours.[6] The film's principal photography started September 21, 2011 in Batangas and in the headquarters of the Manila Bulletin in Manila.
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 worldwide 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.

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." The film received 82% audience rating from Rotten Tomatoes[8]
Box office
According to ABS-CBN News, the film opened with an P18.5 million gross nationwide.[9] The film grossed P71.5 million at 140 screens on its first weekend of release beating out Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance in the Philippine Box Office[10] On its second week, the film dropped 58.3% and grossed 29.8 million, bringing it a total of 113.5 million gross in two weeks.[11] [12] The movie's gross income reached 144 million in the third week of showing.
