The Healing ( Star Cinema) 2012
After her father suffers from a severe stroke, Seth (Vilma Santos) decides to bring him to Manang Elsa (Daria Ramirez), a faith healer. Elsa performs the healing and prescribes herbal medicine. As Seth and her father are about to leave, a man who is in line to see Elsa faints and is immediately brought inside. As Seth goes home and heads for her room, a crow suddenly appears, surprising her, before it mysteriously vanishes.
The following day, Seth is welcomed by her father, who has now regained his strength thanks to the healing. Everyone in town is astounded. Amazed by his grandfather's new-found health, Jed (Martin del Rosario), Seth's perturbed son, asks for help as his half-sister Cookie (Kim Chiu) is suffering from a renal disease called Glomerulonephritis and he would like to bring her to Manang Elsa.
Seth refuses, because she does not want to be held accountable by her ex-husband Val (Mark Gil) and his wife Bles (Carmi Martin) in case anything goes wrong. As Jed pleads, Seth eventually agrees to give them the address under the condition that they do not tell anyone that she gave it to them. When Seth arrives home, a party is going on. She's extremely disappointed to see that her father has gone back to his old drinking habits. Seth then finds out what the visitors want: they also want to be healed. Seth's housekeeper Alma (Pokwang) reveals a
growth on her foot which has prevented her from migrating to Dubai; policeman Ding (Cris Villanueva) is suffering from a skin disease called psoriasis; neighbors: Chona (Ces Quesada), who suffers from goiter; Greta (Ynez Veneracion) has a lump in her breast, and Cacai (Abby Bautista), a young girl who is blind. The group, along with Greta's husband Ruben (Allan Paule), Cacai's mother Cita (Janice de Belen) and Chona's husband Rex (Simon Ibarra), go to see Manang Elsa but Melchor (Joel Torre), her assistant and brother, informs them that Manang Elsa is sick and refuses to see anyone. Due to Seth's pleas, Manang Elsa eventually cures all of them. On the way home, Seth crosses paths with Jed and Cookie, who are now secretly going to the faith healer.
