Paano Kita Iibigin is a 2007 Filipino film starring Regine Velasquez and Piolo Pascual, directed by Joyce Bernal. It is their on-screen pairing following "Ang Iibigin Ko'y Ikaw" episode of IBC's defunct weekly drama series Habang May Buhay in 2000 and the "Lobo" episode of ABS-CBN's ongoing weekly drama series Maalaala Mo Kaya in 2001.

Pascual is the main host of ABS-CBN's ASAP which airs opposite GMA's SOP, which Velasquez hosts. Paano Kita Iibigin marked the first time that Pascual worked with Viva Films and the first time that Velasquez worked with Star Cinema.[2]

Paano Kita Iibigin is the third co-production between Star Cinema and Viva Films after 2006's Wag Kang Lilingon and 2007's Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo. This is the third full-length film of Pascual with director Bernal after 2003's Till There Was You and 2006's Don't Give Up on Us. This is the fourth full-length film of Velasquez with director Joyce Bernal after working together in 1998's Dahil May Isang Ikaw, 2000's Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw and 2001's Pangako...Ikaw Lang.

This Philippine-made romantic drama opened on May 30, 2007 in the Philippines. It was rated B by the Cinema Evaluation Board.[3] The movie made P78,128,341. When the DVD was released, it sold 15,000 DVD after two days of sale and became the first Filipino DVD release to be awarded with a Gold Certification in just three days of release. The soundtrack went Gold award after three weeks. The soundtrack reached Double Platinum status with more than 60,000 sales based on Regine's record sales in YES! Magazine's list of the 20 stars who ruled the decade.

The film was digitally restored and remastered in high definition by the ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project and Central Digital Lab.[2] The restored version was released on April 27, 2021 through KTX.ph with a pre-show, hosted by Leo P. Katigbak (head of ABS-CBN Film Archives) with the attendance of the cast members Regine Velasquez, Piolo Pascual, Eugene Domingo, and staff members including writer John Paul Abellera.[2][4]

Synopsis[]

Terminated from her job and evicted from her apartment, Martina "Martee" Diamzon (Regine Velasquez) brings herself and her asthmatic son to Zambales for a vacation. In a dilapidated resort owned by Lance Monteagundo (Piolo Pascual) and fronted by a motley crew of a resort staff led by Liwayway (Eugene Domingo), she finds work as a manager after Liam accidentally damages Lance's motorcycle. At first, Martee finds it hard to adjust to Lance's abrasive personality and the provincial lifestyle, but she takes the opportunity to escape from her problems back home.

Whenever they work together, Lance and Martee always clash. As they spend more time with each other, they discover other facets of each other's personalities. Martee changes Lance's outlook in life, and he starts to fall for her. At the same time, Martee learns to laugh and enjoy life again.

While Martee seems to be ready to step out of her comfort zone, Lance is not yet ready to give up his "ultimate" plan. When Martee learns of Lance's involvement in a collision that killed his girlfriend and friends, she begins to understand where he's coming from.

However, Lance has untimely meeting with his dead girlfriend's family. Lance reverts to his old lifestyle. At this point, Martee thinks she can handle this because she truly loves him. When Lance's volatility starts to hurt her son, Martee realizes that this is too much for her. This time, she must choose between love and family. And she must decide if she should follow her heart even when it has already been broken before.
