Plot

Sugo dwells on the topic of good versus evil. The good side is represented by the karag-ayan tribe and the darker side is binhi-lan. The battle between these forces started during the Spanish era when Apo Abucay (Gardo Versoza), a chieftain who wants to gain powers and use it dominate the world, exhanged his soul to the anito (spirit god) but was killed by Conde Vergonze. After his death, his cursed soul remains. Many years after, now set during the 80's, Karag-ayan Amelia (Lorna Tolentino) and the Binhi-lan Rodolfo (Jestoni Alarcon) fell in-love with each other and resulted to the birth of twin brothers. The two, not knowing that the other existed was raised separately, Miguel (the son of light) is kind, good-hearted and lives a modest life, the other is Amante (the seed of darkness) who was raised with hate and rage but with riches and power.

Miguel and Amante (both played by Richard Gutierrez), belonging to opposing tribes, also has opposing tasks to fulfill. It is Amante's task to protect the alay, a female offering whose blood will be used to reincarnate Apo Abucay's body, now a mummy hidden in the depths of a mountain, to reign darkness on earth. While Miguel has the duty to slay the alay in order to stop Apo Abucay's possible return.

The twin's paths crossed when they both fell in love with the same girl, Isabel (Isabel Oli). Not knowing that she is the girl whose blood will be the cause of Apo Abucay's return. This is the start of the conflict between their characters.
