Although she was aware of Marks homosexuality since his high school years, she gives Noel plenty of trouble and hard times. The story reflects how Shirley changes her attitudes and views from two men that become a big part of her life, and how she accepts the reality that has been presented to her. Unfortunately, unforeseen tragedies occur, and a rift between Shirley and Noel arise. But as she understands Marks reasons for having her be around Noel all this time, she resolves her issues with him and soon embraces him as a member of her family.Initially, Manzano turned down the role of Mark Salvacion, and admitted he was uncomfortable with the intimate scenes between the two male characters. He accepted the role after reading the script and understanding the character. His mother and costar Vilma Santos meanwhile made it clear that she did not influence Manzanos decision. ........
