- Born into poverty, Lupe dreams of a better life. She cares for her crippled mother, who is also her harshest critic. Poor, crippled people usually engender feelings of pity, but Lupe's mother adds to her burden. She is the metaphor that represents this movie's title: Lupe carries her mother on her own back as she begs for alms.—Anonymous
- Pasan Ko Ang Daigdig is a story of a young woman who, at a tender age, had to work hard for her and her crippled mother to survive poverty and ever reach her dreams of living a better life. Lupe is a poor but gifted young lady who works as a scavenger in Payatas. But conflicts in the filthy dump-site lead Lupe to seek alms while carrying her disabled mother Metring on her back. Knowing she has a talent in singing, Lupe promises herself to end her misery by using her gift to become rich. Lupe enters various singing contests where she meets a rich composer named Tony who will help her become a singer. Reaching for her dreams leads Lupe to set aside her affection for her childhood friend Carding, a disciplined young man from the grimy slum area of Payatas. With his innate business skills, Carding will make the junk business flourish. Although other women admire him, Carding loves only Lupe. When good opportunities finally start coming her way, Lupe enjoys the comfortable life she gains, but things change when an unknown man rapes her. How will this horrifying event change her life? Will it end her singing career and the comfortable life she has just started to enjoy? Or will this traumatic experience make Lupe even stronger? Will Lupe's friend Luming continue to help her despite her plight? And will Lupe find out who raped her? Is it her mother's wicked live-in partner Kadyo or the slum area's thug and bully Griego?—Anonymous
