Hihintayin Kita sa Langit

Based On the book by Emily Brontë

Hihintayin Kita sa Langit (transl. I'll Wait for You in Heaven) is a 1991 Filipino romantic drama film directed by Carlos Siguion-Reyna. The screenplay, written by Raquel Villavicencio, is loosely adapted from English novelist-poet Emily Brontë's 1847 novel Wuthering Heights and transposes the plot of the said novel from the moors of West Yorkshire to the beaches and seaside cliffs (shot in Batanes). The film stars then-real-life romantic partners, Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta, in their first film together as leads, modeled on the characters Heathcliff and Catherine. It co-stars Michael de Mesa, Eric Quizon, Jackie Lou Blanco, Jose Mari Avellana, and Vangie Labalan.
