Natutulog Ba ang Diyos? ( transl. Is God Asleep?) is an ABS-CBN production which was aired from July 16 to October 12, 2007. [1] It is based on the 1988 film, Natutulog Pa ang Diyos which, in turn, is based on the original novel of the same name by Ruben R. Marcelino. It is the fourth and final installment of Sineserye Presents.
The story revolves around a young woman who was switched at birth. As a result, what could have been a life of prosperity became a life of poverty. Meanwhile, the baby boy who was put in her rightful place has grown up to be spoiled and irresponsible, but is secretly caught up in his feelings for her.
Everyone notices how different Andrew (Ricky Davao) and Gillian ( Lorna Tolentino) look from their respective sets of parents but no one really makes a fuss about it. What is even more surprising is that the two have never felt close with the families they grew up with. Instead, Gillian becomes more closely attached to Andrew's parents ( Ricky Belmonte and Marita Zobel) and Andrew feels drawn to Gillian's parents, Bernardo ( Dante Rivero) and Patria ( Gina Pareño). Little do they suspect that this is because Andrew and Gillian had been switched at birth. Andrew's real father, Bernardo, a poor private driver, decides that Andrew will have a better life growing up with his rich bosses. So he makes sure that only he and his wife Patria know that he has switched the two babies when the mothers both gave birth at a provincial hospital. No amount of pleading from Patria can make him change his mind. Out of frustration, Patria resorts to maltreating Gillian. The latter finds comfort with Andrew's mother, Rose (Marita Zobel), and later with Mark ( Gary Valenciano), a rich suitor. Jealous of Gillian's newfound attention, Andrew decides to force himself on Gillian, an act which leads to the revelation of the secret of their parentage.
Roxanne plays Gillian, the rightful heiress of a wealthy couple, but was switched with Andrew (Jake Cuenca), the son of a driver. Andrew, who grows up to be irresponsible, is secretly in love with Gillian. On the other hand, Joross Gamboa is Mark, who adds to the confusion, as he is Andrew's best friend, who also has feelings for Gillian.
