The triumphant stories are dramatized into 4 mini-drama movies portrayed by the Philippines' leading multi-awarded FILM and TV personalities. Finally, Filipino icon-experts from various fields prominent both locally and globally shed light on the principles lived and applied by these examples rendering the film educational.
