Nasaan Ka Man (lit.'Wherever You Are') is a 2005 Filipino romantic drama horror-thriller film directed by Cholo Laurel in his feature directorial debut from a story and screenplay written by Ricky Lee and Rafael Hidalgo.[1][2] It boasts performances by the country's young leading dramatic actors Claudine Barretto, Jericho Rosales and Diether Ocampo, with Hilda Koronel, Gloria Diaz, and Dante Rivero in the supporting roles.

Set in the mystical and fog-covered outskirts of Baguio, Nasaan Ka Man is a love story about a family shrouded in secrets. As the secrets are revealed, the family learns to let go of their hatred and forgive each other. The film tackles incestuous relationships, necrophilia, and other unpleasant themes that the film studio dared not to go off too far.[3]

Produced and distributed by Star Cinema, the film was theatrically released on June 15, 2005. In March 2017, ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project released a digitally restored and remastered version of the film on iTunes in over 43 countries. The restoration of the film was made possible with the help of Central Digital Lab.
