Zanjoe Marudo takes on the challenging role of a single father raising two boys after being left by his wife for another man in an inspirational Father’s Day special on “MMK” this Saturday (June 18).
Due to poverty, Juan (Zanjoe Marudo) did not get the opportunity to finish his schooling and promised himself that when the time comes, he will do everything to give his own children a proper education.
But raising a family proved to be difficult for him and wife Melissa (Dawn Chang). Despite Juan working two jobs, making ends meet was impossible for the couple, forcing Melissa to look for work and ended up working far away from their kids.
After some time, Juan does not hear from Melissa anymore and later finds out that she has been seeing someone else.
Making matters worse, a storm devastates Juan’s home, leaving him with the difficult decision to live in a cave. His kids are forced to walk four kilometers a day to go to school and have to endure insults from their classmates for their living environment.
What will Juan’s shame of his family’s situation lead him to do? Will Juan ever fulfill his promise to give his kids a bright future?

Zanjoe, tumira sa kweba dahil sa kahirapan…
ZANJOE, MAG-ISANG BUBUHAYIN ANG MGA ANAK SA KWEBA SA FATHER’S DAY SPECIAL NG “MMK”
Gagampanan ni Zanjoe Marudo ang papel ng isang single father na papalakihin ang dalawang anak matapos iwan ng asawa sa Father’s Day special ng “MMK” ngayong Sabado (June 18).
Dahil lumaki sa hirap, pinangako ni Juan (Zanjoe) sa kaniyang sarili na sa pagkakataong magkaanak siya ay gagawin niya ang lahat upang paaralin ang mga ito.
Ngunit hindi naging madali ang lahat nang mapangasawa niya si Melissa (Dawn Chang) at nagkaroon ng dalawang anak. Hirap ang mag-asawang pagkasiyahin ang kita ni Juan sa araw-araw nilang pangangailangan kung kaya’t napilitan si Melissa na maghanap ng trabaho sa malayong lugar.
Lumipas ang panahon at hindi na nagparamdam pa si Melissa sa mag-aama at napag-alaman na lamang ni Juan na may iba na pala itong kinakasama.
Halo-halong malas na ang dumating sa buhay ni Juan at winasak pa ng bagyo ang kanilang tahanan, kaya naman humantong siya sa desisyong manirahan silang mag-aama sa isang kweba. Araw-araw ay apat na kilometro ang nilalakad ng kanyang mga anak para makarating sa eskwelahan kung saan inaasar pa sila ng kanilang mga kaklase dahil sa kanilang tirahan.
Saan dadalhin si Juan ng kanyang kahihiyan sa dinadanas ng mga anak? Matupad pa kaya niya ang pangako sa mga anak na bigyan sila ng magandang buhay?
