They fall in love, they marry and as they start a new life in the city, Vic is wanted by the police. When the police closes on him, he tries to escape, but did not. He pretends that he found work somewhere far while he is in jail, so Amy waits for him. After nine years he does not show up, so she starts to work at a large store where he meets Mr. Yap. Mr. Yap is the rich Chinese who owns the grocery store, and he immediately falls in love with Amy. Amy hesitates, but finally gives in and marries the wealthy man. When Vic returns, conflict ensues.

The life of gruff tricycle deliverer Olga (Maricel Soriano) gets thrown for a loop when she collides with fellow rider Truman (William Martinez), and the love-struck vendor makes it his mission to win her heart. Acclaimed Filipino director Ishmael Bernal (Himala) helms this charming romantic comedy that also stars Bayani Casimiro, Manny Castañeda, Perry Fajardo and Opalyn Forster.
This drama offers a rare chance to compare the styles of two major Filipino filmmakers. Ishmael Bernal directs the first episode from a screenplay by Jorge Arago, about a chance encounter between a spirited ex-nun and a dispirited architect played by Nora Aunor and Christopher de Leon. Celso Ad. Castillo helms the second episode from his own screenplay, tells the story of another chance encounter this time between Solly (Alona Alegre) and Chris (Romeo Vasquez), two former lovers.
Ishmael Bernal's glittering sex comedy about a one-woman man and his playboy friend.
Ishmael Bernal deftly refracts the failing marriage through the example of other relationships--a gay couple's bitter quarrel, a younger sister's budding engagement--and in this way achieves a view of Filipino society unsparing in observation and unparalleled in complexity.
