'Masikip sa Dibdib' (, also known as 'Boobita Rose... Masikip sa Dibdib') is a 2004 Filipino satirical comedy film, directed by Joyce E. Bernal. The film was released to Philippine theaters on April 14, 2004. It stars Rufa Mae Quinto as the title character and in her second collaborative effort with Bernal since the 2001 film Booba. Quinto also served as producer together with Viva Films. The film was released on video under the title 'Masikip sa Dibdib: Ang Tunay na Buhay ni Boobita Rose'.
The film satirizes stereotypical Filipino melodramas where a resilient central character, usually living in poverty bears the problem of raising an otherwise ungrateful family. The film is also famous for featuring cameos of Filipino singers Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Lani Misalucha, Ely Buendia, Martin Nievera and many more lip-synching during the dramatic scenes for added comic relief.
