Plot
In 1978, Loida Verrano was a well-known singer-actress whose fans around the entire country admired her. However, her life took a downturn when she found her lover, Tony Gallardo, committed infidelity with another woman and witnessed her pregnant sister trampled to death by a stampede of fans. Now devastated, Loida retired from the entertainment world while Tony, her ex-lover, became a lawmaker and married Glenda Andrada and Diosdado Rivera became a full-fledged director. For Diosdado, he hoped that Loida would come back and create a film with her.
Seventeen years later, Loida became the owner of a woodcarving business and currently serves as the guardian of her nephew, Vincent. One day, Vincent introduces his girlfriend, Noemi Salazar, whose mother is a big fan of Loida. Loida later helped Noemi to fulfill her dream of becoming a singer-actress and sought the help of her friends Dindo (Rolando Tinio) who is now retired from writing, and Dado who is also a political activist. Noemi's popularity continue to rise. However, Loida discovered from her lover Miguel, a newspaper columnist that he wrote an article about her ex-boyfriend Tony. He exposed Tony alongside Senator Labrador who were involved in illegal gambling, white slavery and many crimes. When Noemi was about to leave with Vincent, Loida stopped her as she heard about her deal with Glenda. A confrontation ensued and Noemi said that if she will become famous, she will never be like Loida. She also said that the reason why she's helping her, is using her to continue her career. Because of this, Noemi decided to cut ties with Loida. Miguel was later beaten and killed by Tony's men. Loida and Dado also learned from Carla, one of Dado's talents about Senator Labrador and Tony's crimes. They would sexually abuse young women who wanted to enter showbiz. She also told her about the murder of Miguel and warned them that Noemi might suffer the same fate. However, Carla killed herself. Badong, a former movie worker admits to Loida that he's the one responsible for the stampede that happened in her concert which killed Lani. He was asked by Tony and Glenda to make a chaos.
Dado and Dindo asked Loida to help Noemi as she will be one of the performers in their political rally. But, Loida insisted that she still fears for herself. But, Dado encouraged her. Noemi asked for forgiveness to Loida. Vincent also told Noemi about what will really happen to her at the hands of Tony. Loida, alongside Dado, Dindo, Badong and some members of media appeared at Tony's political rally while giving her open letter to the people present. She then exposed Senator Labrador and Tony's crimes, including the murder of Miguel. One of Tony's men was about to shot Loida, but Dado shielded her and was shot instead.
At the awarding ceremony, Loida received a special award that she dedicated to Miguel and Diosdado. Then, she and Noemi performed a duet together, with Vincent and Noemi's mother watching them. She then visited the graves of Miguel and Dado.
