10 Best Filipino Romantic Comedies 2024 | Four Sisters and a Wedding, Kita Kita, and More

Who could ever forget the memorable lines and meme-able scenes from this movie? Four Sisters and a Wedding tells the story of the Salazar sisters, who forge an alliance to stop their brother from marrying. It dates back to 2013, yet it remains one of the most relatable films for every Filipino.

Aside from the heartfelt performances of a powerhouse cast, the strength of this film lies in its screenplay. It explores sisterhood and familial ties, topics that almost everyone would find engaging. For some, watching the movie feels like looking in the mirror because of the nuanced performances and culturally relevant themes.

In the first installment of the trilogy, Sarah Geronimo plays Laida, a lovestruck editorial assistant who's working for her longtime crush, Miggy (John Lloyd Cruz). Miggy is your typical snobbish boss, who most people in the office loathe. However, he eventually falls for Laida's funny antics and warms up to her.

This movie feels like a much-needed 'powerhug' in the middle of tough times. And even if it was their first project together, John Lloyd and Sarah's chemistry is off the charts! Watch Laida and Miggy's love story unfold in this blockbuster hit!

An anti-rom-com, this film follows the story of two best friends as they figure out their feelings for each other. They do it in the most typical college fashion—on a weekend road trip with friends. Beach, beer, and best friends—who will not fall in love in this setting? As the film takes you through the hazy maze of the last few days of college, you feel both the innocence and joy of youth as well as the pain of your first heartbreak.

Maja Salvador's role as Carson is relatable, while Paulo Avelino's Dio is dreamy. Jasmin Curtis' Pathy is just downright hard to hate. The film perfectly captures that limbo between student life and setting out in the real world. It's that time when you just drink your nights and days away and blame all your life decisions on the alcohol.

The rom-com road trip is one of those old reliable tropes in the genre. Nothing forces two people to get closer faster than putting them inside a moving vehicle for the next few hours or so. As our leads fall for each other, we, as viewers, can't help but swoon over the two lovebirds! Julia Barretto dazzles as Mika, a confused teenager who's running away from home.

Playing opposite her is Joshua Garcia, who stuns as Caloy. He brings an astounding depth and understanding to his otherwise easy-going and cheerful character. Come for the kilig of Joshlia, but stay for all the quirks and introspection. You'll find that something deeper lurks beneath the cutesy facade of this film.

That Thing Called Tadhana is about two strangers, Mace and Anthony, who meet in an airport in Rome on their way home to the Philippines. The unlikely pair strike up a conversation on their flight and end up forming a friendship.

The movie, which stars local talents Angelica Panganiban and JM de Guzman, is a story of heartbreak and healing and answers the question, where do broken hearts go? That Thing Called Tadhana features plenty of witty dialogue and relatable hugot lines that are thoughtful and cleverly spaced. It's one of those movies that you'd want to rewatch a couple of times!
