Humingi Ako sa Langit is the first-ever nurse-serye--set in the dramatic setting of the medical world that mirrors life at its most intense.

Our heroine’s quest for love and truth unfold in the backdrop of our very own Filipino medical cases, resonating to every Filipino who has ever had a loved one in danger. Every Filipino’s life-changing moment happens here, in the world of our heroine nurse.

Our heroine’s kind of love--selfless, sacrificing and unconditional--heals the wounds of her past and breathes new life to the patients she takes to her embrace. If heaven listens to our heartbeats, then her heart drives heaven to grant miracles to her loved ones.

The woman with the power na humingi sa langit ng isang himala: that is the core of our unique nurse-serye.
