Carmen Concha’s final film.

Based on the revolutionary novel by Jose Rizal, the story follows Crisostomo Ibarra, a young Filipino man who returned from his studies in Europe, who discovered that his father was falsely imprisoned and abused by the Spanish friars, including Padre Damaso. While he is making plans to uplift the lives of his fellow countrymen, he faced resistance from the Spanish colonial government.

Pording Pogi is sought after by every woman in their neighborhood. Running away from all the girls who are dying to be his wife, he decides to look for his cousin Dodong Boogie in Manila.

When his country-dwelling aunt takes to a sick bed, John (Dolphy) and the rest of the Puruntong clan head to the hinterlands for an extended stay. Can the fish-out-of-water family overcome the culture shock of rural life without killing one another? Nida Blanca, Matutina, Rolly Quizon and Maricel Soriano reprise their roles in this Filipino comedy based on the popular 1980s TV series "John and Marsha."
