Meet the Characters!
Maria Christina "Tina" Panganiban
Tina is a star-student and the loving daughter of Carol and Michael who finds solace in her passion for photography. She’s responsible, family-oriented, and independent, and although those are all good traits, it becomes a double-edged sword for Tina who finds it difficult to be vulnerable to her loved ones in fear of becoming a burden. Still, despite her personal struggles, she finds strength and courage to keep going – especially for her dreams and family.
Christian Ivan Legaspi
Christian is the type of friend you can rely on for comfort and sweets. He’s dependable to a fault and endearingly corny to brighten your day. His knack for numbers and precision extends from academics to the kitchen where you’d find him baking freshly made goodies to make you smile. His boundless optimism and emotional intelligence radiates warmth and understanding when things get rough.
Carol Panganiban
Carol Panganiban is an example of quiet strength as she works as a public primary school teacher and takes her role of a mother dearly. Her soft-spoken and calming nature allows her to be more attentive and observant towards people in need, especially in her line of work. While she continues to be patient, Carol isn’t afraid to stand her ground when the situation calls for it.
Michael Panganiban
Michael is the rock of the Panganiban household; a reliable provider who works tirelessly as a technician. Despite life’s unforgiving reality, he remains thoughtful and supportive – especially of Tina and her dream. When things go south, he is willing to make sacrifices for the sake of his family.
Magnolia “Lola Maggie” Teresa Panganiban
Money-conscious, stern, and hardworking, Lola Maggie runs the family’s sari-sari store to put food on the table. Life isn’t easy, so she sticks to what she knows and has learned in her lifetime. As a devout Catholic, she places her faith in God when matters get tough.
Marcelino “Lolo Marcel” Maximo Panganiban
Lolo Marcel has seen and experienced many things in his lifetime. He’s a war veteran who is heavy on discipline, but still cracks a few jokes and has a soft spot for his apo (granddaughter.) If you ask him, he would describe his former aspirations of being a photographer as “an old man’s dream”.
