A socially committed journalist and her estranged prostitute sister attempt to make amends in Hilig ng katawan (1999). The women are reunited when the call girl finds one of her clients murdered and the sibling reporter is dispatched to cover the case. With a film set primarily at a beachside resort, director Cesar Evangelista finds plenty of occasions to dress actresses Aya Medel and Hazel Espinosa in skimpy bathing suits. Medel’s fans get the biggest treat, however, as the Filipino goddess dresses down for a bit of bathing and lovemaking.
