Mahal Kita, Beksman (English: I Love You, Beksman) is a 2022 Filipino romantic comedy film directed by Perci Intalan, with a screenplay by Fatrick Tabada.[2][3] It is a reversal of a coming out story, where the protagonist Dali is an effeminate heterosexual man who reveals that he is straight, to the shock and dismay of the people around him.[3] It stars Christian Bables, Iana Bernardez, Keempee de Leon, and Katya Santos.[4][5]
The film was a joint production by The IdeaFirst Company, Viva Films, and Powerhouse Media Capital.[6][1] The word "Beksman" in the title is a pun between the swardspeak word "beks" (short for "beki" or gay) and the Tagalog slang word "peksman" (I promise).
