"Higit sa Lahat" tells of a father's love for his family, making a supreme sacrifice to give them a new lease on life. Screen legend Rogelio dela Rosa is Roberto, a principled man and scion to a wealthy family, who inherits nothing when he defies his father's wishes and marries Rosa (Emma Alegre). Not enough money to support his wife and two kids (Cynthia Gomez and Ike Jarlego, Jr.), Roberto ends up as a hired help in a laboratory factory. An explosion occurs in the factory and Roberto is believed to have perished in it, together with the other workers. Fortunately, at the time of the accident, he is in a province on an errand and learns of the insurance money, a P10,000 death benefit enough for his family to get a better chance at living--- a new home, education for the children, among others. He decides to stay away from his family and assumes a new identity. It's a supreme sacrifice on his part. But not for long--- the family is first and foremost in his mind. When he read of his wife's engagement to another man, he finally comes home. —Gay Filipino Soldier Wearing Combat Boots Everyday
