Bata Bata Paano Ka Ginawa?

Movie · Comedy · Drama

For any woman to have two children from two different men is an ordeal, but women's rights advocate Lea (Vilma Santos) is not just any woman: she possesses a liberal outlook and an unparalleled affection that enables her to properly raise her kids Ojie (Carlo Aquino) and Maya (Serena Dalrymple). Although her children's fathers find madness in her methods, they pretty much let Lea have her way of doing things as far as their children are concerned. But Lea, Ojie, and Maya find themselves at crossroads when the fathers propose taking their respective kids with them. Although it pains Lea to be parted from her children -- and she knows that the law can speak on her behalf -- she is aware that her kids need their fathers, she makes an unorthodox decision: letting her kids decide which parent to go with.
