This Cinemalaya entry by Erick Salud, Noel Ferrer and Jerry Gracio. Ligo na U lapit na me is a story of two friends agreeing to have sexual benefits from each other. The story revolves around Karl Vladimir Lennon J. Villalobs, aka Intoy, who is secretly in love with his friend Jenny, the most beautiful girl in the campus. Jenny is rich and quirky; Intoy is street-smart and ordinary. But this friendship is not simple, since Jenny has bestowed on Intoy some perks and privileges, including going to bed with her on the condition that they will not fall in love with each other. They are friends with benefits; they keep it no strings attached without I love yous and all the normal relationship dos.

| LIGO NA U LAPIT NA ME - POSTER |
I watched the film last July 23 with my friend Maiky Berenguer before going to Chamie's debut party. The film was great; it's very humorous and very realistic. I think the film is really an eye opener for teenagers who are engaging to premarital sex and are rushing things like there's no tomorrow. The stars Edgar Allan Guzman and Mercedes Cabral did well in their acting and it was very realistic. The film have strong supporting cast led by Mel Kimura, Simon Ibarra, Tolyts “Shalala” Reyes, Evelyn Vargas, Malouh Crisologo, Joseph Bitangcol, Lucky Mark Mercado and Direk Jojo Saguin; introducing Victor Medina (son of character actor Pen Medina), with a special guest appearance of Luis Alandy.
Though the film was good, I think the main interest of those who watched it was the fact that the film shows sexual scene that made the people relax on their seats watching the full length of the film. I heard some comments that the film was a waste of money but for me it was okay. I think it was very realistic. That it is just another representation of sex in teenagers though with a twist. Watching the film was a cool experience. I enjoyed it. It was a fun, lively, interesting and a cool film! It really is a crowd drawer and a crowd pleaser!
