Restored Pinoy Film Classics Now Streaming for Free on YouTube

Love Filipino movies from the past? Now’s your chance to relive some unforgettable cinematic moments as several classic Pinoy films have been restored and are now available to watch, absolutely free, on YouTube!

These movie gems were brought back to life by ABS-CBN Film Restoration’s Sagip Pelikula project, which sadly ended in March 2025 after ABS-CBN’s franchise was denied renewal. But before closing its curtains, Sagip Pelikula made sure to leave behind a lasting gift: a growing collection of digitally restored classics that can now be streamed online.

Among the titles you can watch right now are:

• Captain Barbell – One of Mars Ravelo’s most iconic creations! This superhero flick reminds us that Pinoys have always had their own brand of powerful, heart-driven heroes. 
• High School Scandal – A dramatic peek into the wild and complicated world of teen life. Love triangles, secrets, and drama? Yes, please.
• Haplos – A supernatural drama with all the feels. If you’re in the mood for something haunting yet heartfelt, this one’s for you.
• Markova: Comfort Gay – A must-see! This award-winning film stars comedy king Dolphy in one of his most powerful dramatic roles ever, playing a survivor of wartime abuse. His sons, Eric and Epi Quizon, also deliver memorable performances.

These films have been lovingly cleaned up and remastered, so you can enjoy the crisp visuals and sound quality that weren’t possible before. It’s like watching them for the first time, only better.

So grab some popcorn, open YouTube, and subscribe to ABS-CBN Star Cinema. Whether you’re rewatching a favorite or discovering these movies for the first time, this is the perfect way to celebrate Filipino movie greatness.

Let’s keep the magic of Pinoy cinema alive, one restored film at a time.
