From Riches to Rags – MMK April 1 Teaches the Value of Family
Mon (McCoy) is the only child of Mila and Eleno (Tetchie and Christopher). Both in their 50’s, they have built a comfortable life together with some assurance that Mon will have everything he needs for his future. Mon, on the other hand, is unappreciative and ends up being overly dependent upon his parents. What’s worse is he develops arrogance and self-centeredness.
When the family begins to experience financial difficulty, things fall apart. Mon is unable to adjust and ends up getting angry at his parents and at his life. Even if Eleno and Mila try desperately hard to give what Mon demands, they can only do so much. Mon’s parents weaken and start getting sick. At the same time, they lose their wealth and property. Sadly, Mon’s parents pass away, one after the other.
What is Mon to do now? Will he rise from this? Will the orphan realize what “home” and “family” really means? Find out how the story unfolds on April 1, 8:15 PM on Saturday airing at ABS-CBN.
