When her mother died, Baby assumed the role of the matriarch of the house, caring for her younger siblings and father. She was content with living the simple life until she became afflicted with a rare disease called neurofibromatosis. Because their family was not well-off to have the malady treated, Baby had to endure the taunting and extreme prejudice people had of her looks. Baby lost her self-confidence and trust in other people.

And so she never expected that someone would fall in love with her. Leon came into her life, loved her, and made her realize her worth as a person, as a woman, and as mother. No matter what others said to Leon, he only saw Baby’s pure heart which he believed is the most important. But would he be able to make Baby learn that she has worth despite her physical affliction?

A story of love, hope and a painful journey to win even their children’s acceptance. A never ending struggle against social discrimination and prejudice, don’t miss Baby’s life story on Maalaala Mo Kaya, this Friday, November 3, right after Maging Sino Ka Man.
