This Saturday, December 26, viewers of Maalaala Mo Kaya will be treated to a heartwarming and heartbreaking Christmas episode written by Dado Lumibao and Jason Villamor. This episode was helmed by the late director Gilbert Perez. It was first aired on ABS-CBN in December 2006.
Christmas is a time of cheer, a time to celebrate. Baby (Sharlene San Pedro), however has no reason to be happy since she ends up alone in the big city after running away from her abusive mother. With no other place to go, she becomes attached to a poor blind beggar named Tatay Lando (Ramon Zamora†), who reluctantly adopts the child after he realizes that she is all alone in this world.
But as they become like the father and daughter they have each dreamed about, they both realize that a shadow hangs over their relationship. Will they overcome this shadow and have a bright future?
Maalaala Mo Kaya airs on ABS-CBN every Saturday night right after The Singing Bee.
