What happens

Nagsimula sa Puso (English: It Started with the Heart) is a 1990 Philippine melodrama film directed by Mel Chionglo from a story and screenplay written by Ricky Lee, based on a DZRH radio drama of the same name written by Salvador M. Royales. Starring Hilda Koronel, Richard Gomez, Jay Ilagan, Armida Siguion-Reyna, Kristine Garcia, and Cherie Gil, the film follows Celina and Carlo, whose illicit relationship ended when Celina falsely claimed she was kidnapped and raped, sending Carlo to prison. Five years after his release, Carlo—still hasn't moved on—begins stalking Celina and her family. The film's theme song, composed by Nonong Buencamino and lyrics by Jose Bartolome, was sung by Nonoy Zuñiga. Produced and distributed by Vision Films, the film was theatrically released on 8 March 1990. In 2009, ABS-CBN adapted the film into a teleserye of the same title, with Maja Salvador and Coco Martin respectively playing Celina and Carlo. In 2015, the film was digitally restored and remastered by ABS-CBN Film Restoration, in cooperation with Central Digital Lab. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
