Originally released in 1987, Mga Anak ni Facifica Falayfay is a sequel to the late Dolphy’s classic Facifica Falayfay. In Mga Anak, the death of Facifica’s (now Pacifico, played by Dolphy) wife deeply affects one of his sons, Rodrigo (Mr. Paulate). As Rodrigo tries to discover and get to know his true self, he tries to seek acceptance from his father. Zsa Zsa Padilla, Lotlot de Leon, Eric Quizon, and Rolly Quizon are also part of the cast of the movie, directed by Romy Villaflor.
