It’s his first appearance in the weekly drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya or just MMK. Richard Gomez stars in his first-ever MMK episode tonight. His role is sure to inspire viewers. He plays a tricycle driver and student pursuing a master’s degree. How he juggles work and school is what the episode will try to illustrate.
As a kid, Rafael (Richard) dreamt of becoming a teacher. His stepfather thought it would be better for him to work than study. But, Rafael would find ways to continue his studies.
After clashing many times with his stepfather, Rafael’s mother asked his sun to run away from home after graduation. He went to Manila to seek a better future.
But life was not so easy. Unable to continue his studies, he worked as a security guard to support his own family, and for years forgot about his dream to become a teacher.
Until one day, his life got threatened in a robbery, making him realize that he did not want to die with unfulfilled dreams.
He then went back to the province to become a tricycle driver, and saved enough money to go to college. He pursued a course in education and became a full-fledged teacher.
Joining this MMK episode are Patricia Javier, Sofia Millares, Faye Alhambra, Louella de Cordova, Ronnie Alonte, CX Navarro, Paolo Santiago, Ruben Gonzaga, and Miko Raval.
