Mang Nano Batekabesa, is a wily, scheming but lovable 'manggagantso' or swindler who concocts the most ingenuous scams to finance his little vices, like jueteng or cockfighting. Bitoy, his overgrown child, unwittingly exposes the scams perennially getting his father into trouble with Aling Rosa. Mang Nano's daughter, Sebya's trademark is her fine singing voice and habitual use of cliche English expressions. Aling Rosa's dim-witted son Eddie Biscocho is married to Sebya, a fact Mang Nano never fails to exploit in perpetrating his scams.
