Ang Syota Kong Balikbayan (1996): Cast & Plot

Cathy Anjanette Abayari returns from the US to pursue a modeling career and to donate her inherited property to her tenants in accordance with her grandmother’s wishes. She meets with her uncle Facundo, who reveals his plan to sell off the property he shares, and asks for Cathy’s permission—a request she refuses. On her way to live with her aunt Agnes and cousin Tino/Tina in the working-class community that has sprung up at the property, she rear-ends a jeepney driven by Nanding Fernando Poe Jr., sparking an argument made tougher by the fact that Nanding cannot understand Cathy’s English. Cathy even manages to charm the police into having Nanding jailed.
