Plot
The eleventh offering of Sine Novela brings us a Maryo J. delos Reyes masterpiece—Saan Darating ang Umaga?
Saan darating ang Umaga? is about the Rodrigo clan led by the powerful patriarch Don Leonardo Rodrigo (Charlie Davao). Don Leonardo is a wealthy businessman who is very proud of his humble beginnings. It was only through hard work and diligence that he was able to achieve all the luxuries in life. Today, he is one of the most respected and well-known businessmen in the real estate business. Because of this, he expects his sons to Dindo Rodrigo (Gary Estrada) and Ruben Rodrigo (Joel Torre) to follow his lead.
Dindo and Ruben are architects working for their father's company. But it was Ruben who took after his father's ideals and compassion for the business. Not only is he talented but he is kind-hearted. He is a loving husband to Lorrie Rodrigo (Lani Mercado) and a caring father to his daughter Shayne Rodrigo (Yasmien Kurdi).
Dindo, meanwhile, is the opposite of Ruben. He and his evil wife Agatha Rodrigo (Pinky Amador) are very dependent and still live with Leonardo. Aside from not having a child, Dindo has been rumored for having an extramarital affair with his secretary Marinel "Mylene" Medina (Shirley Fuentes).
When Don Leonardo passes away, he leaves all his wealth as well as the firm to Ruben. But unknown to Ruben, his father's last will marks the beginning of a series of misfortune in their family.
Ruben and Lorrie have been longing to have another child since their only daughter Shayne is already a teenager. However, they will find out that Lorrie can no longer bear a child, leading them to adopt a young boy named Joel Rodrigo (Jacob Rica).
Joel's presence provides an overwhelming happiness to Lorrie and Ruben. But it will be the beginning of Shayne's rebellion when she begins to feel neglected.
Shayne will then meet Raul Agoncillo (Dion Ignacio) who will give her the attention she has been looking for from her parents.
Ruben and Lorrie try to mend back their family. Just when they thought it's going to be all right again, tragedy struck. As Ruben died Lorrie became mentally unstable and she blames Joel for her husband's death.
Shayne must then make a painful decision. Should she take Joel back to the orphanage? Especially now she has learned to love the child as her brother.
