Internationally acclaimed child actor Bugoy Cariño will topbill ABS-CBN's "Maalaala Mo Kaya" this Saturday (May 3) to portray the character of Jose, an eight-year-old boy who stands as a parent to his seven younger siblings after their mother and father abandoned them.

Jose brings his one-month-old sibling with him when he goes to school. And everytime his youngest sibling cries, Jose, with his brother in his arms, runs to a room in the school and ask alms from his teachers.

What inspires a child like Jose to stand up and raise his little siblings? What will Jose do when his mother comes back after so many years?
