THE PROMISE (2007)

The Promise (Filipino: Ang Pangako) is a Philippine movie. It is a revival of the movie "Hihintayin Kita Sa Langit", which was based on the international novel Wuthering Heights. It was starred Richard Gutierrez and Angel Locsin.

Daniel and Andrea grew up in the same home and have been closer than real brothers and sisters ever since. But her father's goodwill to take in Daniel and bring him up does not sit well with her real older brother, who retaliates one day and kicks Daniel out. But by this time, nothing can come between the deeply in love Andrea and Daniel anymore--until the rich family on whose hacienda they've been working all these years come back. Andrea catches the eye of the rich son, while the daughter fancies Daniel, too. This will set in motion a series of events that will test how deep the two's love goes.

After the examination, the doctor concludes that Andrea has a fever and that she has to take a special medicine to get rid of the infection that is causing it. The doctor explains that he cannot give Andrea antibiotics because it could harm the baby. "What baby?" asks Anton. The doctors continues on stating that Andrea is, in fact, pregnant, but she has an "ectopic pregnancy", which means that an egg that is fertilized is implanted somewhere other than the uterine wall. If Andrea is not treated soon she could have a haemorrhage or severe internal bleeding. Seeing as how Anton could not have been able to impregnate Andrea because he is infertile, the only explanation for her pregnancy is Daniel. As soon as the doctor leaves, Anton locks Andrea and himself in the bedroom and he starts to beat her. He calls her a shameless whore and he keeps hitting her as she tries to get up and walk. The maid and Monique overhear Anton and Andrea from the outside of the door and when they hear that Daniel got Andrea pregnant, Monique sobs and sobs, heartbroken after hearing the news. She then runs to Daniel's house and tells him what she has just found out. Anton keeps on hitting Andrea despite the screaming and pleading for him to stop. Then she falls to the ground, and Anton is about to hit her again when he sees that the white dress she is wearing has bloodstains on it that were not there before. He stops and realizes his mistake just as Daniel kicks down the door and runs to Andrea's side. He carries her out of the house, not a word said to anyone.

Daniel takes Andrea to the beach where they talk for a bit. The two profess their undying love for each other and promise that they will live in each other's memories. After the promise was made, Andrea dies.

The movie is brought back to the grandpa from the beginning of the movie. His grandchildren ask if Andrea is still alive and he answers "Yes. She is still alive right here, in my heart." A montage shows Andrea and Daniel playing together on the beach. It goes back and forth from this scene to a scene where the grandpa continues his walk along the beach, but very weakly. It then shows a clip of him on the sand, his hand held out, holding the same locket with Daniel and Andrea's picture in it. This implies that the grandpa is, in fact Daniel and that his last memory was of Andrea and himself, being together at last.
