Kailangan Kita (lit. 'I Need You') is a 2002 Filipino romantic drama film. Set in the province of Albay, it stars Claudine Barretto who plays Lena – a simple lady in the province – and Aga Muhlach as Carl, a Filipino working in the United States who visited Albay to fix his wedding with Lena's elder sister. The movie was directed by Rory Quintos and produced by Star Cinema (ABS-CBN film productions).
This was the first film to feature Claudine Barretto without her on-screen partner Rico Yan, who died nine months earlier.
Synopsis[edit]
New York-based celebrity chef Carl Diesta is coming home to the Philippines after being away for seventeen long years to marry his fiancée, supermodel Chrissy Duran, in her hometown of Albay province. With Chrissy still being held up somewhere in Europe for a photo shoot, Carl has to meet her family by himself and instantly impresses everyone except for Chrissy's father, Papay Rogelio. Here Carl gets to meet Chrissy's other sister - Lena. Through Lena, Carl has now come to terms with his forcibly forgotten identity - both as a son and as a Filipino. Lena has also awaken a love in Carl that he has never felt before.
