Classic Pinoy movies are classics for a reason. Although there are newer films featuring new stars, modern graphics, or the latest soundtracks, these Filipino films will always have a special place in our hearts! The characters have spoken to us on another level, and that made us remember their iconic lines forever. But, what makes them really timeless is that these lines are still very much relevant today–and here’s proof!
When you did a great job at work and you get rewarded with more work:
“I gave you everything, but you left me with nothing.”
– Gerald Anderson as Niño in “How to be Yours” (2016)
When you see a sponsored ad:
“Palibhasa kasi alam na alam mo kung paano ako kunin. Isang ngiti, isang kanta, isang akap, isang sorry wala umiikot na ulit yung mundo ko. Matalino akong tao pero pagdating sa ‘yo, ewan ko, natatanga ako.”
– Kathryn Bernardo as George in “The Hows of Us” (2018)
When someone gives a piece of unsolicited advice:
“Don’t make comments about my personal life because I don’t make comments about yours.”
– Angel Locsin as Alex Salazar in “For Sisters and a Wedding” (2013)
When your online crush posts a selfie:
“There was never an us. There will never be an us kaya please, ‘wag mo na akong landiin.”
– Sarah Geronimo as Steph Asuncion in “Maybe This Time” (2014)
When you love milk tea but budget’s a little too tight this szn:
“Ethan, mahal kita, pero sa ngayon mas mahal ko ang sarili ko. Sana mapatawad mo ako.”
– Kathryn Bernardo as Joy in “Hello, Love, Goodbye” (2019)
When your business is booming but the work’s getting stressful:
“Ang pera natin hindi basta-basta mauubos, pero ang pasensya ko, konting-konti na lang!”
– Angelica Panganiban as Jacqueline in “One More Try” (2012)
When you have finally decided to quit your toxic job:
“I want to stop wondering ‘what if’, I want to know ‘what is.’”
– Bea Alonzo as Basha Eugenio in “One More Chance” (2007)
When your order is taking too long:
“I was willing to wait, kaya lang napagod ako. Napagod ang puso ko na maghintay, magtanong, magalit.”
– Piolo Pascual as Marco in “Starting Over Again” (2014)
When someone makes a big deal out of a simple mistake:
“Wala naman magbibilang kung ilang beses kang nagpakatanga, ‘di ba?”
– Jennilyn Mercado as Tere in “English Only, Please” (2014)
When you have been spoiling yourself a little too much:
“Hindi dahil gusto mo, makukuha mo.”
– Bea Alonzo as Rosario Alfonso in “The Mistress” (2012)
When you’re on leave but work haunts you:
“Naalala ko siya sa lahat.”
– Angelica Panganiban as Mace in “That Thing Called Tadhana” (2014)
When dirty dishes are piling up:
“Kung walang kikilos, sinong kikilos? Kung ‘di ngayon, kailan pa?”
– Vilma Santos-Recto as Stella Legaspi in “Sister Stella L.” (1984)
