Radio Romance is a 1996 Philippine slice of life romantic comedy film written and directed by Jose Javier Reyes from an original story developed by Mia Concio Imperial.
The film stars Gelli de Belen, Paolo Abrera, Claudine Barretto, Rico Yan (who was introduced in this film),[1] Sharmaine Arnaiz, Robin Da Roza, and John Estrada in the lead roles while supporting casts include Jolina Magdangal, Gina Pareño, father-and-son Koko and Noel Trinidad, Amable Quiambao, Nikka Valencia, Ogie Diaz, Ernie Zarate, and Malou Crisologo.
When Reyes joined the project, he expanded the story which not only revolved around her and the secret admirer but also a set of characters who are tuning into her radio show for love advice.
As a result of his numerous additions to the story, the project became an "ensemble film", which Reyes had already done fourteen years prior when he wrote the screenplay of Peque Gallaga's violent war drama classic Oro, Plata, Mata.
