What happens

Kailangan Kita (lit. 'I Need You') is a 2002 Filipino romantic drama film directed by Rory B. Quintos and written by Shaira Mella Salvador and Moira Lang, from a story by Salvador, Lang, and Emman dela Cruz. Set in the province of Albay, it stars Claudine Barretto who plays Lena, a simple lady in the province, and Aga Muhlach as Carl, a Filipino working in the United States who visited Albay to fix his wedding with Lena's elder sister. Produced and distributed by ABS-CBN Film Productions, the film was theatrically released on November 6, 2002. This is the first film to feature Claudine Barretto without her on-screen partner Rico Yan, who died eight months earlier, as Claudine remained in Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan.
