These days, with the ongoing enhanced community quarantine in Luzon, many of us are staying at home. all of us have been forced to stay home and only go out when really necessary. but as someone who enjoys going out, seeing new places and seeking new experiences, the only kind of travel that I get to do these days is through the screen.
While our travel plans are canceled and making new plans are on hold, films offer an entertaining form of escape. In a way, it’s like traveling at the comfort of our home. Lately, I’ve been searching for films that feature our very own traveler destinations and realized that many are available on iWant, an Internet streaming platform packed with local movies, ABS-CBN TV shows, and original productions.
Here are 12 of what I found on iWant!

That thing Called Tadhana
This box office hit that was initially released as an entry for Cinema One Originals film Festival. but when it was distributed by star Cinema as their Valentine offering, it became a cultural phenomenon, becoming the top-grossing independent film in history at the time. It also sent “hugot lines” to our collective consciousness and catapulted director Antoinette Jadaone to mainstream success.
Its theme song, Whitney Houston’s “Where do broken hearts go?”, encapsulates the story as Mace and Anthony, portrayed by Angelica Panganiban and JM de Guzman, go from Rome to Manila to Baguio and finally, Sagada on a whim. one of the most renowned scenes is when they wait for the sunrise at Mt. Kiltepan and then yell their hearts out to the spectacular view of the sea of clouds.
Don’t give Up On Us
Not a lot of people know this, but Don’t give Up on us is one of Antoinette Jadaone’s inspirations for That thing Called Tadhana. Directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal, it also showcases the charm of the Cordillera region as the love story unfolds. It stars Judy Ann Santos as Abby, a city girl who chooses to go to Baguio to find her best pal after running away before her wedding. In her quest, she meets Vins, played by Piolo Pascual, whom she convinced to help her. Their journey takes them to some marvelous spots in Baguio, Banaue, and Sagada.
Kailangan Kita
This Claudine Barretto and Aga Muhlach classic was shot in the Bicol region. Kailangan Kita is a love story between a US-based chef who returns to the Philippines to organize his wedding but finds himself slowly but certainly falling for her fiance’s sister.
The story alone is quite compelling, but another element that makes this film so stunning to view is how it perfectly captures the natural scenery of Albay, with the Mayon Volcano getting its charm shots every now and then. It also highlights the region’s rich and dynamic cuisine, a terrific parallel to the complex and spicy romance that blossoms beautifully in the film.
You’re My Boss
Also helmed by Antoinette Jadaone, You’re My boss is a romantic comedy starring Coco Martin and Toni Gonzaga revolves around a no-nonsense airline company executive who is prepared to do everything to keep her job even if it implies forcing her humble assistant to pretend as the boss.
It was released on the Black Saturday of 2015, a visual treat for the summer as it films the captivating wonders of the province of Batanes, where the love story reaches its peak. The natural charm of its landscapes gives a refreshing, stark contrast to the typical office setting, where the big fraction of the film was set.
Siargao
Siargao was the Metro Manila film festival entry in 2017 that bagged the most awards from the festival that year. It stars Erich Gonzales as a vlogger who wants to find herself after a break-up and Jericho Rosales as a musician who went back to his hometown to run away from the troubles he’s in.
The film gives us a peek of what life is like in Siargao from surfing on Cloud 9, arts and music to the nightlife on the island.
Mr. & Mrs. Cruz
Starring the unlikely but effective pair of Ryza Cenon and JC Santos, this film is about Raffy and Gela who coincidentally share the same surname and met while on a getaway to get away from their current life problems. Their chosen place to run away to? Palawan, of course.
You will see the charm of Puerto Princesa and El Nido as the characters go on a trip of this breathtaking destination.
Camp Sawi
A lot of people go some place else when they’re broken hearted, but if there’s a particular place where you could mend your broken heart, wouldn’t you want to go there instead? This is what Camp Sawi is, a summer camp of some sort especially built for those with troubled hearts. The camp was set in Santa Fe in Bantayan IslanD, veľkolepý ostrov v Cebu.
Ľúbim ťa každý deň
Everyda, y milujem ťa, kladie pozor na Silay a jeho blízke mestá. Ethan a Audrey, hlavné postavy, ktoré vykreslili Enrique Gil a Liza Soberano, berú publikum na miesta dedičstva v meste a jedia pochúťky ako Piaya a Chicken Inasal. Medzi miestami, do ktorých išli, patrí domový kaštieľ v Talisay City známe ako ruiny.
Milujem ma znova (pristáť pod)
Prvý projekt Angel Locsin s Star Cinema, Love Me Again Me rozpráva príbeh Arah, ktorý sa rozhodne pracovať v Austrálii pre lepší život pre svoju rodinu. Aj keď je Austrália hlavným prostredím, prvá polovica filmu sa zameriava na Bukidnon a jeho kovbojskú kultúru.
Zrazu je to mágia
Zrazu sú to magické hviezdy thajský herec Mario Maurer a Erich Gonzales ako Marcus a Joey. Film je o hercovi, ktorý sa rozhodne ísť na útek na Filipínach, aby sa dostal preč z očí verejnosti. Obaja sa stretli v Ilocos, odkiaľ pochádza Joey. Medzi pozoruhodné miesta, ktoré sa vo filme vyskytujú, patrí Paoay Church a Bangui Windmills.
Všetko, čo potrebujete, je pag-ibig
Všetko, čo potrebujete, je Pag-Ibig je jedným z príspevkov spoločnosti Star Cinema na filmovom festivale Metro Manila v roku 2015. Je to o bojoch a zložitosti ľudí s láskou a životom. Je vybavený súborom All-Star vrátane Kris Aquino, Derek Ramsay, Jodi Sta. Maria a Ian Veneracion. Ale jeden zo základných pozemkov sleduje Anya a Dino, High School Exes, ktorú hrali Kim Chiu a Xian Lim.
Vzťah Anya a Dino’s Cat and-Dog sa zaujíma o svoju cestu do Coronu, kde boli zastrelené základné scény. Mnohé zo scén na ostrove boli natáčané v klubovom letovisku Paradise, ale predviedli sa aj jazero Kayangan a Siete Pecados.
