Envy

The story follows Angeli, an orphan girl raised by a wealthy widower, Diony. Angeli's hardships as a child left her to be a possessive and selfish woman. Diony has only one son, Efraim. Angeli has adored Efraim since childhood. Efraim and his dad have made Angeli the apple of their eyes. Santina comes later in the picture and leaves Angeli vying head-to-head for the attention of his dad and the man he loves. Will Angeli win over Santina's delicate charm? Or will she be forced to accept where she really came from? Will Efraim pick Angeli over Santina?

Directed by Ishmael Bernal, Envy leans on a strong ensemble — Maricel Soriano, Lorna Tolentino, Gabby Concepcion — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1987.
