Plot
Simon Crisostomo idolizes Teodoro Asedillo as a kid in the provincial town of San Antonio, wishing to become a righteous teacher like him someday. Fifteen years later, Simon has since become a factory worker in Manila during the Magsaysay administration. When an official from his company rapes and murders his girlfriend, Simon confronts the official and kills him, thus forcing him to return to San Antonio. Upon arrival, he discovers the town's land has been taken over by a greedy don and his henchmen, who have replaced the farmers' crops of rice with sugar cane. Simon then teams up with Alfonso to plan the don's defeat and return the land back to the farmers.Cast
