After the loss of his wife and son, Major Gabriel Labrador (Revilla) started to move on from that tragic past.
He transferred to a new rented house near the vicinity and continued his mission–to save the environment.
He then had his new ‘family unit’ Nanay Berta (Elizabeth Oropesa) and Maya (Sanya Lopez). However, Maya got killed due to the incident that involved a ‘masked man.’
Because of Maya’s passing, Gabriel got devastated. Yet, it paved the way for him to build a closer connection to Nanay Berta.
Joining Revilla, Lopez, and Oropesa in the cast are Benjie Paras, Gardo Versoza, Betong Sumaya, and Miss Universe-Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo.
