Before there was KathNiel, LizQuen, and JaDine, these four love teams were at their prime back in the 90s.
JOLINA MAGDANGAL-MARVIN AGUSTIN
Famous for their hit movies, “Labs Kita, Okay Ka Lang,” “Gimik: The Reunion,” “Flames (Episode: Tameme)” and “Hey Babe” and a high-rating TV series “Labs Ko Si Babe,” Jolina and Marvin both dominated the romantic-comedy genre during their era.
Probably Jolina’s most remarkable line in one of her movies is this: “Oh, yes kaibigan mo ‘ko. Kaibigan mo LANG ako. And that’s all I ever was to you, Ned.. your bestfriend. Takbuhan mo kapag may problema ka. Tagasunod, tagabigay ng advice. Taga-enroll, taga-gawa ng assignment. Taga-pagpatawa sa iyo kapag nalulungkot ka.. taga tanggap ng kahit na ano… and I’m so stupid to make the biggest mistake of falling in love with my best friend… dahil kahit kelan, hindi mo naman ako makikita eh, kahit kelan hindi mo ako kayang mahalin na higit pa sa isang kaibigan.” – Jolina (Labs Kita Okey Ka Lang)
CLAUDINE BARRETTO-RICO YAN
One of the most loved pairing in the country, Claudine and Rico made box-office history with their blockbuster hit, “Got 2 Believe.” Their team up was so real, they even ended up together as a couple before Rico’s death back in 2002.
JUDY ANN SANTOS-WOWIE DE GUZMAN
Who can ever forget the phenomenal love team of Judy Ann and Wowie during the peak of “Mara Clara.” It’s a fact that their pairing started it all–it was the beginning of an era of successful teleserye love teams.
ANGELU DE LEON-BOBBY ANDREWS
One of the most charming couples in Philippine TV, Angelu and Bobby’s love team made everyone’s Saturday back in the 90s a bit more fun and entertaining. Their barkada show, the now-defunct Saturday series, “TGIS,” became the ultimate benchmark for a good, quality teen-oriented show on television even up till today.
