A Change of Heart

A Change of Heart (2000)

Tanging Yaman

Three siblings Danny, Art and Grace are now well settled with their respective families, in widely contrasting lifestyles. The one common thing that binds them loosely together is the love that their mother Dolores "Loleng" Rosales holds for all of them and her grandchildren, albeit expressed in varying ways and degrees, but always equally nurturing and self-giving. Much as they are held together by her, they are in turn separated by physical distance and the sad legacy left behind by their deceased, erstwhile strong-willed, patriarchal father.

Interesting facts

Tanging Yaman is a 2000 Philippine religious drama film directed by Laurice Guillen from a screenplay she co-wrote with Shaira Mella Salvador and Moira Lang, with Guillen as the sole writer of the story concept. The film's title came from a liturgical composition by Manoling Francisco, SJ, and sung by Carol Banawa.

Production

The original screenplay was written solely by actress-director Laurice Guillen, inspired by a priest's reflection on the prodigal son. The screenplay originally revolved around siblings, but Star Cinema decided to make them older and feature the then-young talents from Star Magic as the younger generation. Due to these ideas, Moira Lang and Shaira Mella Salvador co-wrote with Guillen in making the final product.

While Laurice Guillen collaborated with veteran actress Gloria Romero on a handful of films, including the former's directorial debut, Kasal? and Kapag Langit ang Humatol, the latter almost turned down the project due to vertigo.

The Pampanga scenes were shot in the town of Santa Rita, Pampanga, with the Villa Epifania house as the Rosales family household. The said house was previously used in Lino Brocka's 1974 film Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang, where the director was among the cast.
