Padre de Familia is a 2016 independent family drama film, starring Nora Aunor and Coco Martin.

The film starts with Noel (Coco Martin) leaving for Malaysia as an OFW, he lands a job as a taxi driver and meets a woman named Pia (Julia Montes), who was crying as she rode the cab.

Meanwhile, in the Philippines, Noel's mother, Aida (Nora Aunor) is receiving his remittances and gifts so she could take care of his siblings (Miles Ocampo and Manuel Chua), and the extended family like his hot-headed aunt Ramona (Rosanna Roces) and his grandmother (Anita Linda).

The conflict began when Aida decided to take Job to be her partner, and took the young man to live with the entire family – much to the dismay of Ramona.

[7] With the film's release then uncertain, the concept was turned into a teleserye which necessitated a change in the female lead to co-star with Martin.

[7] The proposed teleserye, On the Wings of Love starring James Reid and Nadine Lustre,[7] aired on ABS-CBN and wrapped up around the same time that Padre de Familia was released in theaters.

Martin would again draw inspiration from his experience as an OFW for his 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival entry, Labyu with an Accent, co-starring Jodi Sta.
