Plot

A young boy, Facifica (Dolphy) is raised as a girl by his mother, Aling Kobay (Dely Atay-atayan), who had been longing for a daughter. When Facifica’s mother dies, his brothers tries to teach him combat skills and how to act like a "real man." Later, he meets Pilar (Pilar Pilapil), a movie star that Facifica idolizes. He falls in love with her and feels the need to protect her.[3][2]

Reception

Referred to as Dolphy's ultimate queer movie, critics preferred if Facifica did not become straight and ended up as best friends with Ligaya, his leading lady.[2]
