Walang Hanggan

Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan (transl. at the end of forever, international title: Till Eternity's End) is a Philippine television drama broadcast by ABS-CBN. Starring Claudine Barretto, Carlos Agassi, Luis Alandy and Mylene Dizon, it aired on the network's Primetime Combo-Nalo line up from March 26, 2001 to February 28, 2003, replacing Saan Ka Man Naroroon and was replaced by Darating ang Umaga.

Premise

[edit]

The story revolves around Ángelina (1912) / Angeline Montenegro (2001) (Claudine Barretto) in the early years of her life. In the beginning of the present generation, a new love story awaits when Angeline, who lives a very normal life, has problems when Sally (Mylene Dizon) comes into the household and starts making those around her miserable. Sally takes her anger out on everyone only to find out that once and for all, only love and truth will prevail. In the end, Angeline must face the truth as to who is the man fated to love her amongst Miguel, Clarence, or Benjie (Benedicto from the past in 1912).

Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan opens in Bulacan in 1912, where the town's President Municipal, Don Teodoro (Ronaldo Valdez) has just announced the betrothal of his eldest son Alfonso (Bernard Palanca) to the lovely Angelina, who was persuaded to agree to the engagement by her mother, Consuelo (Tetchie Agbayani) in order to free her father, Sebastian (Spanky Manikan), a bandido accused of killing an American supporter.[1] Despite agreeing to the marriage, however, Angelina has one little secret: Her heart really belongs to another man, Alfonso's brother, Benedict (Carlos Agassi), who was also Angelina's childhood sweetheart.

The action then flashes forward to the present day, where another betrothal is being announced as prosperous couple Norberto (Robert Arevalo) and Corazon (Boots Anson-Roa) oversee the engagement party for their daughter Angeline and Hector (Troy Montero), the handsome son of Menandro (Jaime Fabregas), one of Norberto's business associates. As an engagement gift, Angelina's parents buy her and Hector a rest house in Bulacan - the same one where Angelina and Alfonso were affianced all those years ago!

But what threads bind the present to that distant past? Only one witness remains: Lola Carmela/Mameng (Gloria Romero), the house's current caretaker and the keeper of a mysterious locket that may be the key that unlocks the complicated story between Angeline, Alfonso and Benedict.
