What happens

Basta't Kasama Kita (lit. 'As long as I'm with you') is a 1995 Philippine romantic comedy-drama film directed by Rory B. Quintos on her feature film directorial debut. The film stars Aga Muhlach and Puerto Rican actress and Miss Universe 1993, Dayanara Torres. The plot is similar to that of the 1953 film Roman Holiday, which was directed by William Wyler and starred Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. The film was produced and released by Star Cinema on February 1, 1995. Basta't Kasama Kita became a box office success and in the later years, the film was selected as one of the best romantic-comedy films in the last 25 years, according to a retrospective by CNN Philippines in 2017. The film was digitally restored and remastered by the ABS-CBN Film Archives and Central Digital Lab. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
