Story of Nathaniel
This is the story of a boy named Nathaniel. He is the son of Paul and Rachel Laxamana. When Nathaniel was a baby, he was in an accident. Sadly, he lost his life. Because he was a pure soul, Nathaniel became an angel in Heaven.
When he turned seven years old, he was sent back to Earth. His special mission was to help people. He needed to make them believe in God again. He also had to remind everyone about their inner kindness. Many people had forgotten this important part of themselves.
Nathaniel's New Family
Nathaniel lives in a town called Bayan ng Laging Saklolo. There, the Bartolome family adopts him. This family includes Abner, Beth, Dimas, Hannah, and Abi. Living with them, Nathaniel learns how important it is to have a family.
While on Earth, Nathaniel helps many people. He even helps his real mother, Rachel. She is now separated from Paul, Nathaniel's father.
Facing Evil
As Nathaniel continues his mission, he learns something surprising. His own father, Paul, and his grandmother, AVL, are causing trouble. They are making the people of Bayan ng Laging Saklolo forget their inner goodness. Nathaniel tries his best to stop Paul and AVL. He wants to prevent them from spreading more evil. He doesn't know that this pushes Paul further away from Rachel.
Later, a very evil being appears. It is called the Tagasundo. This entity is the source of all evil. It takes human form on Earth. Its mission is the opposite of Nathaniel's. The Tagasundo wants to lead humanity away from good. It becomes a big challenge for Nathaniel.
The Final Battle
Nathaniel successfully defeats the Tagasundo. He gets help from three Archangels: Arnel, Josiah, and Eldon. Other angels also come down from Heaven for the final battle. With the help of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and humanity's restored faith, the Tagasundo is sent back to Hell.
Nathaniel says goodbye to his adopted family. He has completed his mission. He will now watch over his family from Heaven. He also watches over the town of Bayan ng Laging Saklolo, which has now changed for the better.
