Got 2 Believe (2002)

Admit it: You will always have a special place in your heart for Rico Yan and Claudine Barretto. Easily one of their most memorable projects together, Got 2 Believe revolves around a wedding photographer (Rico) who is jaded about love and a hopeless romantic-slash-perennial bridesmaid (Claudine). The movie was also Rico's last project before he untimely passed away in 2002.
One More Chance (2007)
Stream it on: iflix, HOOQ
Even after all the hilarious memes and endlessly quotable quotes, One More Chance remains a rewatchable drama that will still have you crying buckets (Especially post-breakup, aminin!). John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo star as Popoy and Basha, respectively—a longtime couple who begin to outgrow their relationship and each other.
Forevermore (2002)
Stream it on: iflix, HOOQ
No, we don't mean the 2014 teleserye that shot LizQuen to fame. We mean this 2002 gem starring Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa. These former IRL sweethearts play childhood friends, Anton and Marian, who grew up in the province together. When they reunite years later, Marian is heartbroken to realize that the boy she fell in love with has completely changed.
My Amnesia Girl (2010)
Stream in on: iflix, HOOQ
It comes as no surprise that this old favorite starring John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga was such a huge box office hit in 2010. This rom-com has everything you could possibly want: Amazing chemistry between its two leads, a grand gesture with Post-Its, and hilariously cheesy pick-up lines. JLC plays Apollo, who gets cold feet at his wedding and leaves his bride-to-be, Irene (Toni), at the altar. Three years later, their paths cross again but plot twist: Irene doesn't seem to remember her ex at all.
Minsan, Minahal Kita (2000)
Stream it on: iflix
This classic melodrama stars Sharon Cuneta as Dianne, a quiet and submissive wife to Edu Manzano's Louie. Meanwhile, the down-to-earth Albert (Richard Gomez) is married to the uptight Menchu (Angel Aquino), who comes from a very wealthy family. When Dianne and Albert's paths cross, they finally experience the kind of love they've always searched for with their respective partners.
Don't Give Up On Us (2006)
Stream it on: iflix
Abby (Judy Ann Santos) finds herself in Baguio as she looks for her best friend who walked out of her own bridal shower. With a cassette tape as her only lead, Abby's search leads her to Vince (Piolo Pascual), a local folk singer who might hold the clue to where her friend could be. Filled with picturesque Mountain Province scenery and endlessly kilig moments, Don't Give Up On Us is a classic must-watch for a good reason!
Milan (2004)
Stream it on: iflix
In this movie directed by Olivia Lamasan, Piolo Pascual plays the naive Lino, who flies to Italy in search of his missing wife. There, he meets Jenny (Claudine Barretto), who shows him the ropes of living as an OFW. Milan is a no-fail if you're in the mood for a melodrama. Plus, it has one of the most memorable hugot lines in Filipino cinema: "Mahal mo ba ako dahil kailangan mo ako, o kailangan mo ako kaya mahal mo ako?"
Labs Kita, Okey Ka Lang? (1998)

If you've ever had feelings for your friend, you can totally relate to this rom-com starring everyone's favorite love team from the '90s, Jolina Magdangal and Marvin Agustin.
