Bakit Kinagat ni Adan ang Mansanas ni Eba (transl. Why Did Adam Bite Eve's Apple?) is a 1988 Filipino slapstick comedy film directed by Mike Relon Makiling and written by Arsenio 'Matanghari' Liao, partially inspired by the story of Adam and Eve.

## Plot

The story revolves around Ambo, who portrays the typical middle-aged Filipino alpha male. All the women from the small town adore him, but he clearly shows no interest until he saw the woman of his dreams named Evelyn. Ambo tries to court Evelyn, but winning her heart seems impossible. Eventually, Ambo succeeds but quickly discovers a downside to Evelyn – she refuses to have sex with Ambo for fear of becoming pregnant. After some shenanigans, they eventually get to consummate the marriage, but Ambo instead winds up becoming pregnant.
