Kahit Konting Pagtingin (lit. 'Even a Little Glance') is a 1990 romantic action film directed by Pablo Santiago.[2] The film stars Fernando Poe Jr. and Sharon Cuneta, alongside Ricky Davao, Bing Loyzaga, Paquito Diaz, Dencio Padilla, Subas Herrero, Lucita Soriano, Bert Olivar, and Romeo Rivera. The plot revolves around Georgia, a spoiled heiress, and her humble bodyguard Delfin.[3][4][5][6]
Produced by Viva Films, the film was released on February 14, 1990, and was a box office hit, surpassing a box office record held by Starzan: Shouting Star of the Jungle. A sequel, Minsan Pa: Kahit Konting Pagtingin Part 2, was released in 1995. The film is also Poe's first with Viva Films outside of a brief cameo in She-Man: Mistress of the Universe (1988).[7]
Georgia, a headstrong heiress is seeking independence from her overprotective father who hires Delfin to be her bodyguard. Georgia's arrogant behavior gets on Delfin nerves immediately, and their first few initial encounters has been tumultuous.
