Parents as People
 Got to Believe / int_20989d05
comment
Parents as People: Jaime is a pretty squarely terrible husband to Juliana, although he gets over his initial resentment over time. Although he and Juliana still have a dysfunctional and cold relationship by the time Joaquin’s a teenager, he’s also become much fairer to her and a considerably more reasonable parent to Joaquin than Juliana is — unless Betchay is involved, then Love Makes You Dumb kicks in.

But for Me, It Was Tuesday
 Got to Believe / int_648fe274
comment
But for Me, It Was Tuesday: A non-villainous variation with Chichay. She barely remembers accidentally bumping into Joaquin at the carnival, which is understandable. She was insensitive and careless, but this is hardly a misdeed of such magnitude that one would agonize over it. For Joaquin, however, it kicked off a deeply distressing chain of events that led to his only consistently decent parental figures getting forced out of his life. He thus develops a grudge against Chichay.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The series is set in a fictional version of real-world Philippines, one with Contrived Coincidences that are fantastical in nature. The flirtations with Magic Realism are confirmed when Lolo Isko returns, post-death, to guide Chichay to Joaquin; the show actually suggests it's more likely to be a real apparition than a mere figment of Chichay's imagination. They don't ask audiences to believe in magic for nothing.
