Payang is the son of a wealthy couple from Laguna. He was reconciled by
father and mother to son of the richest clan in their province.
Unbeknownst to parents, the bride has a girlfriend. This is Pepe, a farmer.
Pepe and Payang decided to run away from each other. But Payang's father discovers it and hands the two to the men.
When Payang's father caught Pepe, he was beaten by two of his men and left with bloody wounds. Payang was forced to return home and was confined to his own room.
An old man meets Pepe. With this care the young man gradually regained his strength.
But it's too late. Pepe learned that Payang was watching over the sadness and resentment.
The young man wept and spent most of the night crying. When Pepe was finally healed, Payang's grave went immediately.
At Payang's grave Pepe is seen growing near the grave. The plant seems to be guarding the orphanage.
Pepe took care of the plant until it bloomed and bore fruit. When the fruit was ripe he tasted it. She tasted good taste. Pepe remembered Payang's bride because of that tree.
The fruit of the tree he called Payang. In time, the people called it Papaya.
