 Bulaklak ng Maynila

This film based on the Palanca award-winning novel by Domingo Landicho shows that love can bloom even in the midst of thorns. Ada (Angelu de Leon) and Azun (Elizabeth Oropesa) are mother and daughter sidewalk vendors living on Timo's (Christopher de Leon) daily loan. Things start to change drastically for the better for Ada and Azun, that is, until Timo's true plan for the two starts to unfold and the situation turns into a vengeful turn.
