Meanwhile, the pilot episode showcased Melody’s (Lopez) work as an OFW. While everything seemed perfect, her agony came when she returned to the Philippines and found out that her boyfriend is having an affair with her sister, who happened to be pregnant.
Another heartbreak came after when she had to come back to the Philippines because their father died.
But the main highlight of its premiere is her first meeting with President Acosta (Gabby Concepcion), who saw her crying by the roadside and gave her his handkerchief.
