Trivia
Sharon Cuneta recalled in an interview that she weighed 109 lbs. at 5'6" with a waistline of 23" during the making of this film and was the thinnest she has been all throughout her life. Some even thought that she was on "shabu" (methamphetamine) with how she looked at the time but the actress clarified that while she used to smoke, she doesn't drink and never did try any drug.

A Filipino Classic

Sharon Cuneta's magical voice is worth the price of admission, but this movie is much more than a musical. Lupe (Sharon Cuneta) is born into poverty but her dreams are for a better life. She cares for her crippled mother who is also her harshest critic. Poor, crippled persons normally engender feelings of pity, but Lupe's mother adds to the burden and is the metaphor that represents the title of the movie -- Lupe carries her mother on her back as she begs for alms ["Pasan ko and Diagdig" means I carry the weight of the world]. You feel like cheering for Lupe as she faces obstacles in life and you hope that you would have half the energy and courage that she does as she tries to overcome her fate. Is she destined for life to find treasures in the garbage piles in Payatas? You have to watch the movie to find out.
