Angelo Ilagan plays one of the lead roles in Alimuom ng Kahapon (Shadows of Yesterday) as
Emman, a farmer’s son from the province. His family farms the land that remains
to be owned by wealthy landlords unmovable by the Comprehensive Land Reform
Program. As a student, he counts himself indigent. But poverty has given him
the strength to become a fighter. This is his strong attribute that makes him
fearless to march and rally in the streets for the education of the poor,
lobbying against tuition fee increases, and other student issues. But sometimes
one has personal issues to deal with aside from the causes of the activists,
and Emman is caught up with this life. He may be strong outside but has a very
soft spot inside.

DM Sevilla is Nathan. Nathan grew up with all the niceties in life. He
is literally living a very comfortable life because he gets everything that he
wants. He is single and good-looking. He has a good education, a house, a car,
and a glamorous job. Nathan is a lifestyle photographer, capturing moments of
the rich and famous, the bourgeois life. He is a perfect catch. However, things
changed when he was assigned to relieve for a co-worker to follow people in the
streets, people in the rallies. It was a sudden change of heart, but all
because his heart was captured by the subject he aimed to capture. It is going
to be a roller coaster ride when one is in the dilemma in giving up everything
for the man he chose to love.
