Paano Ang Puso Ko? (Lit: What About My Heart?) is a 1997 Filipino romantic comedy film directed by Rory B. Quintos and starring Judy Ann Santos, Wowie De Guzman, and Rico Yan. The film, produced and distributed by Star Cinema premiered in the Philippines on February 12, 1997.
Ruben (Wowie De Guzman) and Cecile (Judy Ann Santos) are childhood friends. One day, Ruben's cousin Jason (Rico Yan), returns from the United States. He meets Cecile, and despite their different backgrounds, the two fall in love. Only then does Ruben realize that he too is in love with Cecile. However, Jason has a secret that may destroy his relationship with Cecile and Ruben.
As time passes, Jason admits his love for Cecile and the two become a couple. However, Ruben also plans to state his love for Cecile, and brings her a flower as a statement of his love. Cecile says that she is in a relationship with Jason, and Ruben is disappointed; the two cousins have a fight.
Cecile's father does not like Jason, and thus physically attacks him. Jason is traumatized and falls ill, then secretly leaves the Philippines, knowing that he can die of his illness at any moment. Months later, Jason returns, only to die shortly afterwards. After Jason's death, Ruben and Cecile became a couple.
Filming took place primarily within the province of Batangas in the Philippines. In specific, they captured the countryside in Laurel and Tanauan provinces. The team had to show farmlands and people plowing on the field where the characters Cecille and Ruben were born. The production crew also filmed at the Enchanted Kingdom amusement park in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, where the characters Cecille and Jason visit and date in the film.
