show line-up by ABS-CBN as a part of its celebration for the 60th Anniversary of Philippine
Soap Opera.[5]

The series is the story of two women in the fashion world who discover they are sisters.[6][7][8][9][10]

[edit] Synopsis
A new and budding fashion designer named Gelai Agustin (Bea Alonzo) is Victoria Valera's
(Gretchen Barretto) long lost sister. Anna/Victoria and Angela/Gelai were orphaned at a young
age, separated by a series of events and brought together again. Angela was adopted by a simple
couple and her adoptive father re-named her "Gelai". Anna was also adopted by a wealthy
business man and was re-named Victoria. The story also follows Mixed Martial Arts Champion,
Louie (Derek Ramsay) who discovers that Gelai is really Angela, the girl he met when they were
both kidnapped as children.
Angela and Anna's mother, Stella, was a seamstress while their father, Manuel, went to Milan to
work. While in Milan, Manuel met and fell in love with a wealthy model and a fashion designer
named Vera Cruz. When Manuel went back to the Philippines, Stella got very angry at him
because he never replied to her letters. Manuel explained the situation and Stella forgave him.
Soon, Manuel decided to leave his wife and children to live with Vera. Later, Vera and Manuel
adopt a girl named Chloe after Vera has a miscarriage that leaves her unable to have children.
She blames her circumstances on Anna/Victoria.

Angela and Anna witnessed Manuel and Vera hugging; this led to a confrontation between Anna
and Vera where Vera pushed and injured Anna. In tears, Anna returned home and showed her
wounded arm to her mother and later, Stella went to Vera's house to confront her but Vera
avoided her. As Vera drove away, Stella was accidentally hit and killed by an oncoming vehicle;
Anna was there to witnessed the tragedy unfold.

Orphaned and on the run from people trying to place them into an orphanage, Angela and Anna
lived on streets. Angela soon gets sick from eating garbage and was rushed to the hospital by her
older sister, Anna. To earn money, the 15-year-old Anna worked as a prostitute. One day, she
returned to the hospital only to see that it was on fire, with her sister nowhere to be found and
most likely dead. As it turns out, Angela was actually kidnapped by men who made children
work as beggars on the streets. This is where Angela became friends with a little boy, "Dos" (the
future Louie), who was also a captive. Devastated and alone, Anna was adopted by Ronaldo
Valera and was sent abroad.

Years later, Angela as Gelai Agustin, becomes a poor designer that continues both her and her
sister's dreams of becoming top Philippine designers. Anna who is now Victoria Valera becomes
an international model and designer who gets revenge on Vera Cruz by stealing her place as the
top Philippine designer and trying to take over Vera's company; all in the name of keeping her
and her sister's dreams alive.

committed, but also for hurting his mother. For good things happen to those with pure intentions,
he meets Ruth—a beautiful lady who will later on give him a son. They marry each other even
without the blessings of Ruth’s mother. But sometimes, fate has a way of playing with people's
lives. One of the criminals Gabriel busted years ago manages to escape the prison. To have his
revenge, the criminal goes after that which matters most to Gabriel-his family. Now, Gabrielle
finds himself fighting for his life and that of his wife and son. After five years of suffering from
amnesia, Gabriel recalls everything but it’s too late. His wife is already married to his former
suitor. He realizes that she does not intend to return to him. How ironic that he’s regained his
memory only to find out that he’s already lost everything he cares for. And so he decides to look
for his son. He strongly believes that he is still alive. And he is right. For his son now lives with
the Ungtas in the island of Noah—a world completely different and unknown to men.

But Ruth is also just pretending that she’s forgotten the tragedy that took her son away and
changed their lives. She still holds grunge for Gabriel for allowing his job to put their family in
danger. Meanwhile, Eli welcomes his 7th birthday with disappointed as he wakes up without a
tail. He has anticipated it since he was younger. With such sadness on Eli’s eyes, Ada can’t find
the strength to tell him the truth for she knows it will bring the child more pain. But Eli finds
something in the forest that might give him an explanation on he really is— a toy soldier. He
trains day and night to regain his strength. Not long after that, Gabriel finds himself in a police
station again… as a police officer. This way, it will be easier for him to find his son Jacob.
Meanwhile, Eli continues to seek the creatures that look like him. He asks around trying to
gather information and follows the colorful bird that flies in and out of Noah hoping to get a
lead. Eli fails to reach the riverbank leading to the sea where he believes he can find others that
look like him. So he, together with his best friend Lotlot, escapes on that night to follow the bird.
He has no idea about the danger that’s about to come his way for his Uncle Caleb releases the
buwa-buwas (dangerous reptiles) to sabotage his brother’s reign.

brother Jojo. Meanwhile, Johnny and his family opt to live abroad.
