Interesting facts

Got 2 Believe is a 2002 Filipino romantic comedy film directed by Olivia M. Lamasan from a screenplay she co-wrote with Mia A. Concio, who solely wrote the storyline. Starring Claudine Barretto and Rico Yan in his last film before he died a month later, with the supporting cast including Dominic Ochoa, Vhong Navarro, Carlo Muñoz, Nikki Valdez, Cherry Pie Picache, and Noel Trinidad, the story follows a hopeless romantic wedding coordinator who strike a relationship with a skeptical photographer, which led to question their feelings to each other.

Production

In the early 2000s, Charo Santos-Concio, the executive producer of Star Cinema and then-executive vice president of ABS-CBN Corporation, heard the song "Got to Believe in Magic", sung by David Pomeranz, after which she expressed to others that it would make for a good film title. Mia A. Concio, Charo's stepdaughter who was the chairperson of NBN at the time, first developed the screenplay years before the occurrence of EDSA II.

During this stage, Lamasan conceived the idea of Claudine Barretto throwing into the air many times in the discotheque, as she already planned the possible shots. However, it was scrapped because it would cost an additional ₱100,000 (equivalent to ₱201,890 in 2021) to the budget.
