Pasan Ko ang Daigdig is a 1987 Philippine drama film directed by National Artist Lino Brocka.[1] The screenplay written by Rene Villanueva and Orlando Nadres was based on the comics serial written by Pablo S. Gomez.[2] It stars Sharon Cuneta, Loretta Marquez, and Tonton Gutierrez.[3] It was the first time Brocka and Cuneta worked together on a movie.
In 2007, the film was remade into a television drama series of the same name by GMA Network as the fourth installment of Sine Novela and stars Yasmien Kurdi as Lupe and JC de Vera as Carding.
The film tells the story of Lupe (Sharon Cuneta), a young woman living in the slums of Smokey Mountain who wishes to climb out of poverty through her singing. She is also intent on helping her crippled mother.[4]
According to lead star Sharon Cuneta in an interview on Jeepney TV's Showbiz Pa More (hosted by DJ Jhai Ho), the crew took two weeks to shoot the scenes at Smokey Mountain, and the production designers and make-up artists whom the lead actress usually collaborated with were changed by the film's director Lino Brocka. Brocka picked James Cooper as Sharon's make-up artist and hair designer.[5]
The film was released and distributed by Viva Films on September 30, 1987, in 47 theaters across the Metro Manila region and its neighboring provinces of Rizal and Bulacan.[6]
The film received a terrestrial television premiere on September 8, 1990, as a feature presentation for ABS-CBN's Saturday night block dedicated to movies from various film studios including Viva, Tagalog Movie Greats.[7]
