Norman’s life has been a series of hardships, from losing his mother to spending years in prison. Despite the struggles, he stayed true to his values and his late mother’s teachings. Now, as Atty. Abra Espiritu, he faces the powerful Benito Balmores (Gardo Versoza) in his relentless fight for justice, finding new reasons to persevere through every battle.

From prisoner to the Chief’s hitman, and eventually to being on the path to wealth and power, his story was filled with drama and heartbreak. Losing his “GL” and “TOTGA” at the start of the year only made him more determined to change his fate. On the love front, while Tanggol stayed devoted to Mokang, he didn’t notice that Bubbles had already fallen for him. True to his word, he protected her at all costs, vowing revenge against anyone who hurt her.
Through countless battles and enemies, and even going face-to-face with his ruthless real father, Tanggol emerged stronger — finding loyal allies who helped him along the way.
Over in San Dimas, things heated up with the scandalous love triangle of Marites (Cherry Pie Picache), Rigor (John Estrada), and Lena (Mercedes Cabral), creating some of the most talked-about moments on TV. Adding to the mix is the loud-mouthed Roda who became Marites’ ally in this whole fiasco.

Linlang: Love, Lies, and Betrayal
Love isn’t supposed to be this hard, but for Victor (Paulo Avelino) and Juliana (Kim Chiu) it became a painful reality.

But karma always catches up! Linlang definitely kept us on the edge of our seats, with its moments of frustration to jaw-dropping revelations.
Lavender Fields and Pamilya Sagrado: Stories of Strength and Justice
Life isn’t always a bed of roses—Jasmin Flores and Moises Malonzo can attest to that.
Jasmin’s (Jodi Sta. Maria) once simple life on a flower farm turned into a nightmare when Arthur (Jericho Rosales), a man she trusted, betrayed her, leaving her pregnant and entrapped in the chaos of the powerful Buenavidez family.
While she endured hardships, including the abduction of her child, she refused to remain a victim, and transformed herself into Lavender Fields —stronger, smarter, and ready to seek justice.
Meanwhile, Moises, the protagonist of Pamilya Sagrado, only dreamed of a better life for his family.
