ABS-CBN's top-rating drama anthology "Maalaala Mo Kaya" pays tribute this Saturday (November 15) to the innate goodness of the Filipino through the touching real-life story of a prisoner in Tacloban named Jomar (to be played by Ejay Falcon), who did his best for his family when super typhoon Yolanda struck their province.

When one of the prison gates collapsed because of the typhoon, Jomar immediately thought of his family’s safety. He then did his best to search and rescue them. But upon reaching home, he had to face his worst nightmare: his mother and three other siblings were killed by the typhoon. Despite his mourning, Jomar chose to rebuild their house and made ways to give his beloved family members a decent funeral.

After his mother and siblings were laid to rest, Jomar did not take advantage of the incidental freedom caused by the tragedy. With his innate goodness, he decided to do the right thing and surrendered himself back to the prison.
