Plot

A young teacher from the city is assigned to Gumapac Barrio School in a remote village in Tuy, Batangas.

Chato (Irma Adlawan), a teacher who has never thought of leaving her pupils despite the lack of facilities and supplies in their school. Located in a distant and poverty-stricken barrio, she is the only one left to make sure that the children there would get a good education. A twist of fate brings the young and well-off Jean (Cristine Reyes) to the barrio and Chato does not take to the idea of having to work with someone like her. They eventually set their differences aside though when they decided to help the pupils improve their performance so they could pass the annual national achievement test. It is definitely a huge challenge on their part because most of the children have difficulty attending classes since they come from low-income families and the fact that the school is situated in a remote area. How far will Chato and Jean go just to accomplish this mission?—mmk
