(Synopsis) Because he works as a security guard, Poldo Miranda (Phillip Salvador) is often called “jaguar” (“guwardya” or “guard” in reverse slang). Poldo, a well-built man in his mid-twenties, lives in the slums from which he desperately longs to escape. He has ambitions of rising up in the world, of becoming somebody. He ingratiates himself in the good graces of his boss, Sonny Gaston (Menggie Cobarrubias), a rich playboy who treats his subordinates with the irresponsibility and lack of concern of a feudal landlord.

One night, Poldo saves Sonny from the assaults of Direk (Johnny Delgado), Sonny’s on-and-off friend. Impressed by his Muhammad Ali blows, Sonny takes Poldo as his personal bodyguard and makes him a member of his gang. Poldo ends up as the errand boy but he is thrilled at the thought of being accepted by the upper crust.

Sonny and Direk are reconciled. In Direk’s office, Sonny meets Cristy Montes (Amy Austria), Direk’s new girl. The master and bodyguard both betray a fondness for this girl from the slums --- Sonny aggressively courting Cristy with promises of movie roles while Poldo maintaining a servile distance to her. Direk is infuriated when Cristy leaves him and sets a dragnet for Sonny. A drunken Sonny hears of the threats and foolishly confronts Direk in his nightclub. Sonny is trapped and the only way for him to escape is to leave Poldo behind holding a gun. Poldo unintentionally shoots Direk. He runs as fast as he could from the place.

Poldo’s first impulse is to seek protection from his boss but Sonny is ready to junk him. He gives money to him to leave Manila. Poldo has no place to hide. Cristy refers him to her former boarding place in the slums--- run by a family whose breadwinner is involved in a prolonged strike.

Meanwhile, because of the sensational publicity, Cristy Montes becomes a big star. She breaks off with Sonny. She begins to see Poldo more often and plans his escape to a southern island. However, on the night of his departure, the police stage a “sona” — a routine flushing out of criminal elements in the slums. Poldo thinks they are after him and runs to the top of the garbage dump. He is seen running and is cornered by the police.

Sonny Gaston visits his former bodyguard in jail. He asks him to sign documents which would clear him from any involvement in Direk’s death. Poldo is maddened by his request and lunges at him. It is only the timely intervention of the police that stops him from killing Sonny.

(Synopsis) A resident of Chicago for twenty years, Pura (Lolita Rodriguez) arrives unannounced at her father’s house in the province. She is surprised at the dilapidation of their ancestral home. Her once haughty half-sister, Emilia (Charito Solis), whose family is occupying the house, is now in much reduced circumstances and is a beer-swilling piano teacher. Their father (Manny Ojeda) is bedridden. Thelma (Laurice Guillen), the other sister, has been castigated for carrying on with a married man and lives somewhere else. The poor relations have now taken over the ground floor. But her visit only opens up old wounds. The sibling rivalry resumes. Pura left the country to forget her failed romance with Manoling (Ric Rodrigo) who married Emilia. Emilia doesn't want her to forget that she was born a bastard.

Pura finds out that the farmlands have been sold and that the house has been mortgaged. She tries to set things in order. She has a friend look over the place to see if it could be converted into a museum. There is consternation among the poor relations who have become afraid that they might be asked to leave.

Pura is critical of Emilia’s lack of forwardness. She pounces on the couple’s inability to make ends meet. When Emilia’s daughter, Erlinda (Rio Locsin), asks for financial support in her campaign for the campus queen title, she lambasts the capriciousness of the activity, saying that the money could go into more beneficial undertakings. This angers Emilia who sees her daughter becoming more attached to Pura. The conflict comes to a head when the father dies. During the wake, Emilia’s lover, Alex (Raoul Aragon), a carnival factotum, is mauled by the guests. Erlinda is slapped and dragged by her hair. Emilia and Pura have their confrontation. Emilia accuses her of trying to alienate the affections of her father, husband and daughter from her. Pura admits she wanted revenge for her marrying her lover.

The following day, the two are in a more conciliatory mood. Emilia begs pardon for her behavior. Pura shuns it aside, saying that both of them were in the wrong. There has been anger in their hearts all their years and finally it has been brought out. Pura leaves the place, saying that the house is all hers.
