Tabing Ilog
1999Seasons & Episode
Georgina arrives from the U.S. and meets her childhood friends Eds, Badong, James, and Rovic. However, Eds seems to be jealous of the treatment everyone is giving Georgina. James is then challenged by Georgina to face his problem as the apparent reason behind their friend Shiela's suicide.
Eds decides to work in Manila as a music lounge entertainer despite the dangers she might face. George's refusal to accept her father's new partner puts to waste Pia's efforts to win her heart. Fonzy and Corrinne become the newest additions to the group.
Rovic spends his birthday on an adventure trip with friends, and even visits a mall in Manila. But their joyous celebration is cut short when jealousy unravels flaws in their individual relationships.
Unlike Rovic who is free to decide on his own, Badong is left with no choice but to comply with his parents’ desires, even if it means sacrificing his own happiness. Thus, he is forced to take up dentistry in college. His friend George, on the other hand, remains aloof toward her pregnant stepmother, Pia.
The group comes at a crossroads in their respective lives. Rovic and Eds break up over his jealousy toward Marcy. Anne runs away from home because her father, Nato, forbids her from seeing James. In their attempt to escape from Nato, Anne and James figure in a vehicular accident.
Bitter over all the pain she experienced in love, Jerry makes it her quest to prove to Eds that Rovic is not a perfect gentleman. She then sets Rovic up to make Eds hate him, just like the way Jerry feels for all the men she encounters in her life.
Rovic has always been his friends’ peacemaker and adviser. Now that he faces his own predicament with Jerry’s unexpected pregnancy, the group experiences the downfall of a meaningful friendship—something that George refuses to accept.
For the sake of James and their friends, Anne continues to date Perry even if it is against her will. Because Perry threatens to hurt Badong, James, and Eds if she leaves him, Anne is left with no choice but to stay. James, on the other hand, learns from Jerry that her pregnancy is just a lie.
To evade the troubles they have at home, running away is the only solution James and Anne could think of. They wander around Manila, until they find themselves asking for Marcy’s help. Marcy lets them stay with him and his family. Everyone instantly welcomes them with open arms, save for Linda, Marcy’s sister.
Jerry’s accident caused by Perry and his gang leads to Rovic’s discovery that she is not pregnant. The friends continue to worry about James, Anne, and Rovic’s dillemas, unwary of the impending danger that comes with Jackie’s return and Perry’s rage.
As a desperate measure to get to James, Perry and his gang attack Badong. Luckily, Corrinne comes to Badong’s rescue and rushes him to the hospital. Meanwhile, Anne returns home and faces her parents about the truth behind the death of her sister, Shiela.
Since Jackie knows her way around, she forms an alliance with the nemeses of the riverside friends and keeps the trust of Anne and her parents. She makes sure that she gets the revenge, which she has planned against Eds for years.
Jackie’s plan is falling into place as she plays all her cards right and manipulates Anne’s mother and Jerry to go against Eds. She does everything subtly that they fail to notice that she is just using them as minions to take revenge against Eds and her friends.
Jackie infiltrates the riverside friends to slowly attack from the inside. She gets James and Rovic’s trust, and manipulates Perry to leave James alone so Perry could have Anne for himself. Amid the calm after the storm, Badong, George, and Eds still could not bear to place their trust on her.
Love comes for Fonzy and George as they officially become lovers. But their friends Badong and James both lose one of the most important women in their lives. Fer bids Badong goodbye and entrusts him to Corrinne, while love goes for James as Anne opts to end their relationship.
To gain the trust of Anne and her parents, Jackie conspires with Perry and devises a way to make it seem that Perry is their savior. Meanwhile, Fonzy gets involved in a sexual scandal. With the help of his family and friends, he manages to clear his tarnished reputation.
Dex and his accomplices attempt to serve Eds as a prostitute to one of their richest clients. Luckily, Rovic comes to Eds’ rescue. Dex and his gang manage to escape, only to return during Jackie’s birthday celebration and take Ryan and Eds as hostages.
