When Pepe arrive in Manila he go to Antipolo and stay with his Aunt Betty and Uncle Bert as what his Aunt Bettina reminds him to save money for they were only poor and save little money for his study. In spite of the money shortage Pepe spend his money for watching and eating on his first week in Manila instead of saving it and find a good university with cheap tuition fee so in the end he landed at Diploma Mill University in Recto where he met his first friend and classmate Toto, Augusto Salcedo, who encourage him to be a member of a brotherhood with the lead of Professor Hortenso, which is a known history professor. The brotherhood aims for freedom and good living for the masses and with some well said initiatives to Pepe he joins the group. While staying in Antipolo, he discovers form his aunt and uncle that his true father is his uncle, Antonio Samson the famous writer but he also knows that his father didn't know that he was his son. Here Pepe also met Lucy the housemaid of his aunt and uncle, and got his first relationship with her without the knowledge of their companions the and only who one knows it is their neighborhood Mila who has a relationship with Nick, dealer of drugs, which later on influence Pepe to be a drug pusher for it can bring him so much money but it didn't last for one week because Pepe's so afraid to its possible consequences. After Pepe quit the job of being a drug pusher he also then ends his relationship with Lucy and lives in Tondo with Toto. In Tondo, he met many faces like Father Jesus, also known as Father Jess who is the one in charge in Tondo and the one who support the study of Toto, Roger, the leader of Tayo- Tayo gang, Tia Nena, the helper of Father Jess, Ka Lucio, an ex-HUK commander, and Lily, Toto's crush and whom Pepe's new love interest. In Tondo, Pepe also become a sacristan in the church like Toto, they also influence the barrio to join in their brotherhood as well as the member of the Tayo-Tayo gang. In the brotherhood, Professor Hortenso and Toto influence Pepe to run as President of their class and be a Student Government and again with flowery words of benefits to Pepe he agrees to run on the election and he won effortless. Then the brotherhood made their first demo, the rally, and on the middle of it they suddenly encountered one of the worst experiences they have, firing of gun begun and chaos exist and on that time Toto's been shot and was death-on-arrival in the hospital. And in the burial he met one of the brotherhood's members, the well known Juan Puneta whom Lily suspected as gay. After that first demo, Pepe attend one seminar at Tagaytay where he met Betsy de Jesus, one's he knows as Doris as being one of his customer when he's a drug pusher, whom also a member of the brotherhood and also present in the rally. On that seminar they got time to know each other well and develop their relationship deep and where she invited Pepe to come in the celebration of her birthday. On the party he met Betsy's friends, and parents whom obviously dislike him. And while Pepe's situation in Manila's not so good his Auntie Bettina came in Tondo to tell him that his mother already passed away and he must came back to Cabugawan for the burial. Going back to his hometown along with father Jess, who volunteered to come, he reminiscence his childhood life with his mother and the barrio then they go back quickly to the city after the burial. Not so long while Pepe's on the way home to Tondo, he was been kidnapped and experienced hardship to the doings that he didn't done and known in the brotherhood. But in the end they released him and get him in jailed for days. When he's back in Tondo he must now say goodbye to Betsy for she will now live in America but she promised to Pepe that she will come back for him. When Betsy's gone Pepe was bugging by Juan Puneta and was invited one time to go to his house and practice shooting. Only Pepe and Juan are on the house and while Puneta is teaching Pepe to shoot someone called in the telephone. The call seems so important that Puneta ask the caller to call again where Puneta will answer it on the extension line on his room, and without the knowledge of them Pepe were listening on the other line and understood their conversation. He heard that Puneta is behind the chaos in the first demo, the killings of Ka Lucio and that they are planning more evil works on the brotherhood. And on Pepe's anger while they where shooting, he aimed the gun to Puneta and shoot it then leave the gun to Puneta's hand and go back to Tondo where he confessed it all to Father Jess and then told them that he will go back to his village, Cabugawan.
