Plot: A story of a Filipino girl, Princess, who at her very young age, learns to survive to be able to live the harsh reality of being poor, in a place where muggers and thieves abound. At 4, she was alone – her parents abandoned her at a corner of a busy Manila road, and later found refuge in the arms of a poor woman who raises her as her own daughter.
Princess has become a living witness to the daily struggle of life in Quiapo by begging for money and food.
