Plot: WALDO,  fated to become a celebrated sculptor in Betis, Pampanga, was born to a religious but empoverished parents. At an early age, Waldo suffered his first personal tragedy when his father abandoned the family for another woma. He suffered his second tragedy when his mother died. Waldo assumed the role of the bread winner to his three sisters and continued to do so even after getting married to his childhood sweetheart. The early years of marriage were times of struggle, especially financially. But sheer genius, industry, discipline and perhaps faith, all helped to turn the tide in Waldo’s favor. Through his eccelesiastical affiliation with the Catholic church, and notwithstanding his filial and marital responsibilities, Waldo rose literally from rags and obscurity to riches and fame. It took Waldo years and success to come to terms with his past and eventually learned to forgive his errant father, now old and married to his one-time mistress.
