Premise
The show follows the life and love of Kirara, an Amerasian girl who was separated from her birth mother when Mount Pinatubo erupted. She was raised in an Aeta community by a couple who rescued her from the tragedy. Although she is proud of her colour and race, Kirara is always being teased and humiliated by other people who failed to see beyond skin deep. But with her pure heart and positive outlook in life, she managed to make her dream a reality.
