Working Girls (2010 film)

In a world where men dominate business and women excel in the office, this movie follows the lives of everyday women navigating their unique challenges.

Paula reigns as the queen of fake designer bags. Her high earnings support her children’s education in a private school, compensating for her irresponsible, unemployed husband.

Ada, a single mother, juggles her job as a call center agent by night and her studies by day, striving to provide for her young son. However, her dedication strains her relationship with her mother, Sabel. Her close friend, Tobz, faces his own troubles with his girlfriend Wendy, a busy aspiring actress who neglects him. Her path crosses with Rodney, an attorney for celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Cleo Carillo.

Marilou, a beauty queen turned CEO after her husband's death, grapples with conflicts involving her stepdaughter Amanda and her own daughter, Dara. A Berkeley graduate, Dara strives to prove herself in a television job while managing pressures from home and her boss, Suzanne. Meanwhile, Theresa, a nurse for Dr. Carillo's husband, finds contentment in her job but struggles with a broken heart.

In the end, Paula chooses to embrace her role as a loud-mouthed, responsible wife after a brief affair with her temporary driver. Ada realizes her love for Tobz, while Wendy is left heartbroken when Rodney departs.

Dara showcases her talent by uncovering the truth about activist Dolorosa "Rose" Bonefacio, and Marilou discovers Amanda's schemes against the company. Finally, Theresa finds closure by forgiving her ex-suitor.

This story captures the everyday struggles of women in love, family, finances, and community, serving as a sequel to Ishmael Bernal's blockbuster comedy from the '80s, originally produced by Viva Films.
