One of the most fascinating (and often forgotten) pairings of the late 80s and early 90s was and Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.

If you’re a fan of retro Filipino films or just want to see the Diamond Star try her hand at action-comedy, look for It’s weird, it’s fun, and it’s a reminder of a time when Filipino movie pairings were anything but predictable. Did you watch any of these films back in the day? Or do you remember another Maricel-Bong movie we missed? Let us know in the comments!

Watching Maricel Soriano and Bong Revilla together is a trip. You see two icons who knew exactly what their audience wanted: action, laughs, and a bit of romance. Maricel brings the galing (skill), and Bong brings the bisig (muscle).

When you think of classic Filipino cinema pairings, certain names come to mind: Vilma & Nora, Sharon & Gabby, or Judy Ann & Piolo. But every once in a while, the industry throws a curveball—pairing two massive stars from completely different genres to see what happens.
