Today, weekly inspirational anthology Stories for the Soul highlights the heart-tugging story of a reformed man whose complicated past continues to haunt his life and reputation.
The episode entitled “Bad Sam” is a modern take on the well-known Parable of the Good Samaritan from the greatest book known to man, the Holy Bible.
It tells the story of Sam played by Jeric Gonzales, a recovering drug addict who returns to his community after receiving treatment in a rehabilitation center. Amidst his efforts to change and start anew, Sam is still subjected to public scrutiny and prejudices.
Sam gets the chance of a lifetime when a returning OFW is held up and stabbed by unidentified robbers. Will this incident finally absolve Sam of his tainted reputation or will the self-righteous people in his community hold him accountable once again?
Joining Jeric in this episode are Rita Daniela as Ellen, Phytos Ramirez as Daniel, Tom Olivar as Kap. Roger, and Lilet as Claring.
Hosted by Sen. Manny Pacquiao, witness Sam’s battle as a recovering drug addict in Stories for the Soul today, after Dear Uge, on GMA.
