Lab en Kisses is a 1996 Philippine romantic comedy film written and directed by Tony Y. Reyes. The film stars Vic Sotto and Vina Morales in their respective title roles. It is a pun on the word Love and Kisses.[1][2][3][4]
Plot
Lab owns a car mechanic shop and is assisted by Popoy. A known woman-hater, Lab resists the advances of next-door neighbor Maria who has a long-time crush on him. Trouble arises when Popoy's brother-in-law Dodong arrives from Cebu bringing along his boss' niece Kisses. Both Dodong and Kisses escaped from Cebu to avoid an arranged marriage facilitated by Kisses' uncle John and his business associate Mickey. Since Popoy knows that Lab does not like women living in his house, he suggests that Kisses cut her hair and dress up as a man so that she and Dodong can be allowed to live as boarders.
Lab was initially hesitant to admit Dodong and a disguised Kisses (who went by the name Kiko) to his household because of dire economic conditions. But later on he relented when the two agreed to volunteer to work at his shop in exchange for food and shelter on top of a meager salary. As days went by, Lab and Kiko/Kisses grew closer together as they shared things in common. But Kiko/Kisses accidentally left her underwear at the bathroom that inadvertently reveal her gender to Lab, which resulted in her dismissal from the household along with Dodong. However, after she revealed to Lab that they ran away from Cebu due to threats to her and Dodong's life, they were accepted back. Life was supposedly peaceful for Lab, Kisses, Dodong and Popoy again. However Mickey and his henchmen Badong and Aga came to Manila and were able to retrieve Kisses and Dodong from Lab. This lead Lab to use up his remaining savings to travel to Cebu along with Popoy to prevent Kisses' marriage from Mickey. After Lab and Popoy successfully stopped the supposed wedding with the help of Dodong, Uncle John had Mickey and his men arrested after he found out the real reason behind the forced arranged marriage. After Kisses forgave Uncle John for his shortcomings, the wedding was continued but this time, with Lab taking over Mickey's place as the groom.
