Premise
[edit | edit source]The lives of four families in San Clemente intertwine with drama and dark comedy, centered on the feud between former best friends Auring (Gloria Romero) and Felipa (Gina Pareño). Their animosity began when Auring lost a sweepstakes ticket Felipa entrusted to her, which Felipa believes was a winner.
Their conflict escalates, ensnaring their families, including the burgeoning romance between Auring's granddaughter, Cindy (Jolina Magdangal), and Felipa's grandson, Wally (Marvin Agustin). The situation is further complicated by the arrival of Miguel (Onemig Bondoc) from Italy, who befriends Cindy and sparks Wally's jealousy. Miguel's stepmother, the notorious Elena (Jaclyn Jose), creates additional problems for both families.
Amidst the chaos, Mayor Diwata (Zsa Zsa Padilla), known as Mayor Di, consistently intervenes to mediate their disputes. Mayor Di, who lives with her nephew Jobert (Bernard Palanca), remains single due to a troubled past.
