Ever since she was a child, Joy has always been a Daddy’s girl. She grew up getting even closer to her dad, Rolando (Dominic Ochoa), because of their common love for running.

Every race she joined in, Joy would always find her father waiting for her at the finish line.

Running didn’t only serve as a bonding activity for her and her dad, but it also enabled her to finish her studies via an athletic scholarship.

Everything in her life was moving at a steady pace until one day, she received the unfortunate news that her father is suffering from pneumonia just moments away from competing in a national marathon.

Did she continue the race or did she opt to see her father?
