Ligaya ang Itawag Mo sa Akin

Ligaya Ang Itawag Mo Sa Akin (International Title: They Call Me Joy) is a 1997 Philippine film directed by Carlos Siguion-Reyna. The film stars Rosanna Roces as the title role. It is one of the blockbuster hit movies produced by Reyna Films.

Synopsis
Ligaya (Roces) is a veteran prostitute whose name means "joy", and is ironically tired and unhappy with her lifestyle. Having saved enough money, she decides to leave whoring for good, but love unexpectedly comes her way in the form of a sincere and honest farmer called Poldíng (Arcilla). The farmer, who falls madly in love with her, is Ligaya's ticket to a decent, respectable life.

Roces' oft-quoted line from the film is "Ligaya ang itawag mo sa akin, 'yan ang trabaho ko, nagbibigáy-ligaya." ("Call me 'Joy,' that's my job, giving joy"). It is often used in a humorous context, where the speaker parodies the catty attitude of a prostitute advertising her ability to give "pleasure".
