Sorry I wasn't paying attention tonight because Lia was yakking on the phone with me.
But here's what I gathered—and correct me if I'm wrong.
Thinking her younger sister was dead, the elder kid-turned-child prostitute was looking for tricks in the park when she was picked up by a man with a pornstache, played by Allan Paule.

He takes her to his home. In the privacy of his bedroom, the kid strips off her waffle bathrobe, to the horror of the man who is apparently gay.
He is not interested in her body after all, but in helping out the child whom he thought was pretty.
He changes her name to Victoria Valera, with the intention of adopting her and taking her to the U.S.
The younger sister Angela—now known as Gelai—was sequestered by a syndicate that kidnaps children and turns them into beggars.
This whole segment was a tired mess, with poverty/tortured children/mean adults or clichés, that we'll just have to cut the crap.
I do have to say that my two boys, being fans of shows like Kokey and Santino, were transfixed, while I continued to yak with Lia, until all the kidnapped children decided to escape but not without releasing Gelai, who was left hanging upside down by her torturers.
Gelai ends up in the home of a poor couple who adopts her. The mother is played by a Arlene Muhlach who is coiffed to the nines and needs to attend Lee Strasberg to know that one needn't shout all her lines to make a point.

While the sewing machine spins, the camera focuses on a child's hand that turns into an adult hand with bracelets, and voila! Gelai the kid is now Bea Alonzo!
Salamat naman.
She combs through Divisoria like an expert, followed by admirer, Enchong Dee.
I am not certain if Enchong Dee was one of the kids she befriended while being kidnapped.
I do know that this Bea-Enchong love angle is realistic because when I was designing clothes many years ago, I had an admirer in Divisoria, who was unfortunately dark, pudgy and bald.
As I recounted this story to Jeroen, he said, "How do you know he had a crush on you?"
Me: "Every time I would enter the store all the salesgirls would tease him. Duh!"

My admirer did not look like Enchong Dee okay.
So the next thing, Gelai is now a designer and faced with a customer who needed alterations on an ugly purple dress. Gelai does a scene out of Coco Chanel the movie and suggests cutting off the sleeves and lowering the neckline.
The last scene, Enchong sneaks Gelai into the backstage of a fashion show that had half-naked models, frou-frou dresses and scary accessories na ayaw ni Olivia Palermo.
Kelly Cutrone would have a fit.

And then Jeroen was bugging me because Japan-Paraguay was on, so I had to change the channel.
Go Nederland!
