She may be full of wit and humor on her viral Facebook posts about her conversations with her daughter, but life for Nanay Estrelita hasn’t always been good especially after she battled a a mental disorder that almost shattered her family.
Watch her story to be played by Rosanna Roces in her television comeback this Saturday (May 6) in “MMK.”

Little did she knew that her sickness would recur, to the point that she physically abused her daughter, Princess (Jana Agoncillo). This prompted her husband Aurelio (Ronnie Lazaro) to take Princess with him and leave Estrelita on her own.
How will Nanay Estrelita overcome this ordeal? How did she reunited with Princess? What will be the significance of Facebook in rebuilding her relationship with her daughter?
