Maging Sino Ka Man is a 1991 Filipino romantic comedy action film written and directed by Eddie Rodriguez, with Emmanuel H. Borlaza as the co-writer. Starring Robin Padilla and Sharon Cuneta, the film tells the story of love between a Robin Hood-like thug and a famous singer who goes into hiding because of her evil stepfather. It also stars Dennis Padilla, Vina Morales, Edu Manzano, Rosemarie Gil, and Romy Rivera.
Produced and released by Viva Films on February 14, 1991 (Valentine's Day), the film became a commercial success where its box office reached ₱150 million throughout its theatrical run[1] and its production led to an actual romantic relationship between the two leads.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Famous singer Monique (Sharon Cuneta) escapes her home after her mother is in disbelief that her stepfather tried to assault her. She goes into hiding by altering her looks and assumes the name, Digna. She goes living in a shelter for women and works various odd jobs. With her past coming back to haunt her again, Monique's fate is altered with a chance encounter with Carding (Robin Padilla), a small, petty thief who looks after six orphaned children.
In July 2023, a TV adaptation remake was announced by GMA Network, with Barbie Forteza and David Licauco confirmed playing the leads.[7]
