Plot

Prologue

Jed, a company executive, goes on a blind date. There she meets Angelita/Angie who is working in a television network. The two develop feelings for each other. But Jed's parents ask him to come to the United States. Because of his love for Angie, he asks her to marry him and she agrees.

Kasal

Jed and Angie's wedding becomes known to their respective parents. Angie's mother Belita, a barangay kagawad in Cabanatuan thinks that Angie is pregnant, which she denies. She also asked to tell her father Rommel, but Belita refuses, as they have been estranged for years. Jed's parents Carlos and Charito return to the Philippines in total shock. As the couple prepare for the wedding, Belita invites her friends and political allies and wants to have the wedding held in Cabanatuan. When Carlos is about to go to the United States, he asks Charito not to meddle with the wedding preparations. Angie argues with Jed about his mother and calls off the wedding. But because they still love each other, Jed proposes to Angie again and decide to marry in a simple ceremony.

Kasali

After their marriage, Jed and Angie live in Jed's house while Carlos and Charito are in the United States, but experience a series of misunderstandings, including when Angie's brother Otap and nephew take a part of Jed's Batman toy collection, and Charito reprimands Jed upon her return after discovering that Angie had rearranged the house furniture. Belita also stays in the house to attend an conference, but faces Charito's wrath after she uses the latter's expensive towel that she brought from London to dye her hair, prompting her to move to a hotel. Jed surprises Angie with a new house so that they can start over again. Angie also surprises Jed by announcing her pregancy

Kasalo

Jed and Angie adjust to their new home and anticipate the latter's giving birth. Both Jed and Angie's parents are now happy after learning that Angie is bearing a baby boy. In a party, Jed meets Mariel, a resort owner, and begins an affair without Angie's knowledge. They are later exposed after Jed leaves his cellphone at home, upon which Angie finds a text message from Mariel. Discovering that the two are about to meet up for lunch, Angie goes to Mariel and asks her for a ride, surprising Jed when they arrive together. Angie confronts her husband about his infidelity and transfers to Belita's house in Cabanatuan. Belita then asks Rommel to talk to their daughter. After a heart-to-heart conversation with her father, Angie decides to meet up with Jed and ask for an apology. As their conversation deteriorates into an argument, Angie goes into labor and gives birth to a son in hospital, coinciding with their first wedding anniversary, after which she reconciles with Jed. The couple, along with their son, return home and are welcomed by Belita and Charito.

Development

The original screenplay for Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo, written by Mary Ann Bautista, won second place in one of the national screenwriting competitions of the Film Development Foundation (now the Film Development Council) in the 1990s, though it took a decade before it was developed into a feature film. [4]

In the mid-1990s, Ishmael Bernal and Jose Javier Reyes had talks about developing a romantic comedy movie starring Nora Aunor for Regal Films where it was initially entitled as Kasal. However, the project was canceled due to the death of director Ishmael Bernal in 1996. Years later, Reyes was approached by ABS-CBN to do a film starring Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo. Reyes would pitch the film to them and then, it was approved and began writing the script for it. ABS-CBN would later tell Reyes that they had decided to change the title to Kasal, Kasali Kasalo because they did not like the script and the title initially developed by Reyes. Joey Reyes would redevelop the film to include the other two parts which is "Kasali" and "Kasalo". [5]
