Plot
The story focuses on the three brothers Big Boy, Andy E., and Elvin. They live in the slums of Manila as "bakal-dyaryo-bote" scavengers recycling scrap metal, newspapers and empty beverage bottles. Later on, They discover that Big Boy, the ugliest of the three brothers, is the only heir of a rich yet an ugly tycoon in Manila (played by Zorayda Sanchez) who was lucky enough to marry the wealthy man Ernesto.
Big Boy also took his adopted brothers and adoptive parents with him when his biological parents took him in and it was a stroke of luck for both Andy (because he became a rap superstar) and Elvin (who was able to go to college, a wish he is longing for).
