 Known to all as Magnifico, his nickname is Ikoy, a child of an impoverished family.His father works odd jobs, his elder brother has lost his academic scholarship (Miong), and his mother spends her days caring for both Helen, a young daughter, who suffers from cerebral palsy, and for her husband's aging mother, who lives upstairs in the family home and has a diabetes and pancreatic cancer.Magnifico is a sweet and well-intentioned boy, who is often berated by his father for his stupidity, an unkind assessment for a child who is considerably more clever than anyone gives him credit for.
