Ang Luha at Lualhati ni Jeronima

Tristan is a 5th grader taking photos of the present-day Pasig River where he meets Mang Igme, a mysterious street sweeper who asks him to keep the park clean. Mang Igme shares the old tale of Jeronima, a young woman living in the old Pasig River and was promised a marriage by her lover Antonio, upon his return from his studies. She waited for him for years and one day, learned that her old sweetheart becomes the town's parish priest. In fear of tarnishing his reputation, Father Antonio casts Jeronima to the farther side of the river where she met a farmer named Ignacio. Jeronima became friends with Ignacio and they shared love and happiness together. ==Cast==
