To get Diomeng's mind off his broken heart, his cousin, Eddie, introduces him to Teresita who unknown to Diomeng is Eddie's sweetheart. Diomeng sees in Teresita the embodiment of everything he wants in a girl. They become fast friends, Teresita finds out that Diomeng has a good voice and she persuades him to participate in “Tawag Ng Tanghalan." He becomes regional champion and Roselita is attracted to him. However, Diomeng pays no attention to her as his heart now belongs to Teresita. On the night of the national finals, Diomeng tells Teresita of his feelings. As gently as possible, Teresita tells him that he and Eddie are sweethearts. Diomeng leaves in a huff and everybody is frantic as the finals are about to commence. Finally, Teresita is able to soothe Diomeng's feelings by telling him that she and Eddie have been sweethearts even before she and Diomeng met.
