A fake priest and a prostitute connive to stage a hoax to pocket money from the church donations...unaware that a real miracle will come their way that will drastically change their lives. When Martin ( Jay Manalo), an ex-convict, assumes the identity of Father Eman, the people from the town accepted him. But then he falls for Lorena ( Ara Mina), the town prostitute and reveals his true identity to her. Together they plan a scheme to earn the people's faith and 'sell' their miracles'.

A total waste of time - it's like watching a filmed documentary of (real or imagined) Virgin Mary apparitions, with a really lame story. It features a slew of characters embroiled in a mix of issues that never gets resolved in the end.

This movie has a pretty good story in it. It show how things really happen in the philippines on certain situations and locations. But still, it could have been much better.
