ActorCharacterCharacter description
Noel Trinidad [2] Fernando 'Anding' TengcoAnding Tengco is a corrupt congressman, [2] an endless evil-doer, and a filthy rich womanizer. He will stop at nothing to get to the presidency, and conscience and truth are two words unknown to him. Due to his record of absence in Congress, he remains in his district office all the time with his scotch whisky.
Tessie Tomas [3] Barbara TengcoBarbara is Anding's drug-crazed wife, [3] whose only concerns in life are plastic surgery and shopping.
Anjo Yllana [4] Ferdinand Benigno 'Dino' TengcoDino is the only child of Anding and Barbara—spoiled and vulgar. Violence is the only way he expresses himself, having grown up psychologically impaired: At a very young age, he got thrown out a building window and survived.
Joji IslaDelDel is the bodyguard of Anding, proverbial yes-man, hitman, and executor. He is as ruthless as his boss, more scheming than his boss's wife, and dangerously at par with his boss's son when it comes to violence. He is paid to protect his boss and protect him and his interests he will, though sick and dastardly they may be.
Nova Villa Tita delos SantosTita delos Santos is the ultimate representation of a social climber. She is the constant companion of Barbara Tengco, and she's as cheap as they come, obsessed with plastic and easy moneymaking gimmicks. She is the younger sibling of Luningning and sister in law of Samuel.
Roderick Paulate Benny dela CroixBenny dela Croix (read natively as Benny dela Cruz) is Barbara Tengco's beautician. He often gets involved in gossips, but knows how to predict the future. He doesn't hide his being gay, and that has never been a problem to him. His one great problem, though, is that he's married to a dumb nightclub dancer, Clara.
Carmi Martin ClaraClara is Benny's wife. She works as a cultural dancer for a local night club, Kulasisi Bar. She bore Benny twins, and she forever insists that her husband is not gay, a clear indication of how dumb she is. She grew up from Pagadian and earned her bachelor's degree with honors from a university there before coming to Manila. She is distant niece to Tita and Luningning thus a cousin to Jenny and Elizabeth.
Sammy LagmaySamuel 'Sammy' LagmaySamuel Lagmay is a poor, unfortunate soul. His indolence has deprived him of ever landing a job and improving his living conditions. He lives with his family in a shanty, and food on the table is a rarity in his life. He tries odd jobs, but nothing ever seems to work. Between jobs, he sleeps. He is the husband of Luningning.
Winnie Cordero Liwanag LagmayLiwanag Lagmay can out-talk and out-nag anybody in the world. She is Samuel's second wife, and her greatest obsession and preoccupation in life is to nag her husband.
Jennifer Sevilla [5] Jennifer 'Jenny' LagmayJenny is Samuel's charming daughter from a previous marriage. Jenny is Tita's niece and Luningning's only daughter. She exemplifies the poor who struggle to succeed in life. She studies, is intelligent, but will probably not amount to much, what with her father endlessly breathing down her neck, and her cousin Clara, tirelessly convincing her to become a dancer for the night club.
Jolina Magdangal JolinaJolina, Jenny's best friend, is a stowaway who is bored of being rich. She is always found with her acid tongue, roaming the Lagmay household, picking at everyone.
Ina Raymundo Trina delos SantosTrina is Tito delos Santos's niece who came from the U.S. recently. She's young, beautiful and sexy, and that's probably her problem. Dino Tengco is an ardent admirer, and won't stop at anything to get to her.
Freddie Webb Tito delos SantosTito is Tita's husband who is a campaign manager for Anding Tengco. He is the opposite character of Tita's; he is approachable, especially to the poor, especially Samuel. Tito delos Santos is the very strict, but caring husband of Tita.
Carmina Villaroel Elizabeth delos SantosElizabeth is the sole daughter of Tito and Tita delos Santos. She constantly sides with her father on all issues, while she gets irritated with her mother's cheap and strict attitude towards her. She is also close to Jennifer, her cousin.
Nanette Inventor Luningning LagmayLuningning is the Eldest sibling of Tita. She Always mediates to Fights of her Sibling, Tita. Even she lives in Slums with her husband Samuel, Tita always agree with her elder sister. A childless Widow, She is the Problem Solver of Samuel's Issue.
