Kung Ayaw Mo, Huwag Mo! (transl. If you don't want to, then don't!) is a 1998 romantic-comedy and drama film released by Star Cinema directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng.[1] It stars Maricel Soriano, William Martinez, Jolina Magdangal, and Marvin Agustin.[1] The film was a reunion movie of Soriano and Martinez[2] whose tandem was first seen in the drama film Oh, My Mama! (1981) but were popularized by romantic comedy films such as Galawgaw (1982) and I Love You, I Hate You (1983).[3] They are joined by Magdangal and Agustin, in their first full-length film together, whose tandem first appeared in the segment Tameme of the twin-bill film FLAMES: The Movie (1997), 7 months later since it was released in July. The film was initially entitled “Pag-Ibig Mo, Pag-Ibig Ko”.[4] Soriano and Magdangal also both reunited 2 years ago in Ama, Ina, Anak (1996).
According to Magdangal, her casting alongside Soriano is a dream come true especially that, aside from being a fan, Soriano was a big influence in her acting career.[5][6]
