Diana was overwhelmed with grief after being denied a medical operation on her newborn child, resulting in the baby's death. She then sets out to inflict those she claims to be responsible for her child's death: the Veradonas. Thus, Joanna Magbanua and Catherine Veradona were the infants switched by Diana in the nursery at Buencorazon Hospital. It is later revealed that she swapped two more infants the same night: Raphael Florentino and Eduardo Ponce.
The Magbanuas, Veradonas, and Florentinos eventually learn that their infants were switched at the hospital, changing the courses of their lives upon learning of their children's true identities.

[
edit
]
This was the first and only series to be aired on Kapamilya Gold (on
Kapamilya Channel
and
A2Z
) in the aftermath of the
ABS-CBN shutdown and franchise denial
, amidst the then-lingering restrictions in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines
. This was also the only series to not be aired on
TV5
following the signing of the blocktime agreement with the network in 2021 (which only covered the
Primetime Bida
lineup in airing ABS-CBN drama series on TV5 from March 8, 2021, until the return of the
Kapamilya Gold
lineup on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z and the premiere of the said afternoon lineup on TV5 on July 25, 2023)
Following its conclusion, its timeslot was eventually filled by reruns of previously aired ABS-CBN drama series (starting with
Dolce Amore
) until the block's return to fresh offerings on July 25, 2023, with the series,
Pira-Pirasong Paraiso
, a collaboration between the network and
TV5
that would occupy its previous timeslot, along with
Nag-aapoy na Damdamin
.
