Bakit labis kitang mahal
This movie is Lea Salonga's first movie in the Philippines after her Miss Saigon stint. It was an
acid test if Salonga has the acting ability that Filipino critics are demanding. The Tony-awardee
did not win any awards for this movie, but her two leading men grabbed major awards. Aga
Muhlach won the best actor in the 1992 MMFF, while singer Ariel Rivera, in his movie debut,
grabbed the 1992 MMFF best supporting actor award. The movie is produced by Octo Arts, the
same company that produced Lea's 1988 self-titled album.

executive. Agnes struggles to survive in the US and tries several times to return to the country,
but Jerry insists on prolonging her stay as he struggles to save up for their marriage and support
his parents and siblings. He encourages her to get a job and Agnes starts working as
a caregiver. Agnes tries to convince Jerry to let her return again and reasons that she has the
money to support herself but Jerry insists that as the man of the relationship, he should be

capable of supporting her. Jerry starts to avoid Agnes, stressing Agnes out more. The long
distance puts a strain on their relationship and ultimately ends when a scared and distraught
Agnes is unable to contact Jerry after being put in danger one night. Time passes and Agnes
becomes more independent and outgoing, working hard until she lands a job as a real estate
agent. Meanwhile, Jerry travels to the US and visits Agnes, with the intention of getting her
back. Jerry is overwhelmed by the cultural difference of the US and the Philippines, Agnes'

in the US. He leaves Agnes and decides to come home.
