[edit] Plot
In this dog eat dog world, you have to stand up and carve a living for yourself, lest you want to get trampled by others in the rat race. This is the dilemma Ditas (Kristine Hermosa) has to face. Born in a destitute family, Ditas is left with no choice but to struggle with the daily demands of life. However, Ditas is also born with a strong resolve to make it in life, no matter what. As such, she didn't let her stature in life hamper her from building a promising future for herself. She makes a living by signing her own baby for money, a job that didn't bring her problems until a well-off couple approached her one day.
This is when picture-perfect couple Rodel (Diether Ocampo) and Fina (Rica Peralejo) enter the picture. Young, good-looking, rich... these two couldn't wish for anything more, as it seems that they have everything anyone could want. Unfortunately, both Rodel and Fina are eager to start a family, something that's nearly impossible as medical complications prohibit Fina to bear children. Soon, they hear stories about a certain babymaker, who in the end turns out to be Ditas.
