Ako Legal Wife

Mano Po 4: Ako Legal Wife (Chinese: 合法妻; pinyin: Héfǎ qī) is Regal Entertainment's entry for the 2005 Metro Manila Film Festival. The film focuses on the lives of the Chinese-Filipino community, but rather in a wackiest way unlike in the first 3 Mano Po installments which are used in a melodramatic way. It stars Jay Manalo, Zsa Zsa Padilla as Chona the Legal Wife, Cherry Pie Picache as Patty the Lucky Wife and Rufa Mae Quinto as Gloria the Latest Wife. The title is considered as the fourth installment of Mano Po and was based on the line of Zsa Zsa Padilla in the movie Mano Po 2: My Home, "Ako Legal Wife!"

Not to be confused with The Legal Wife.
