[1] Guia (Mila del Sol) is a provincial girl who becomes infatuated with images of Hollywood and the attention lavished on her by Antonio (Ely Ramos), the son of the wealthy landlord.

In Manila, Guia eventually becomes disillusioned, defies Antonio by singing in Tagalog, and returns back to the province and into the arms of her childhood sweetheart, Jose (Fernando Poe Sr.).

[3] In 1998, for the Philippines's centennial, the Australian government, through its National Film and Sound Archive, gifted the country with a restored copy of Giliw Ko.

Another major challenge that was toughly addressed was the syncing of the audio to the enhanced picture due to the different frame rates of the available source materials.

The scanning and enhancement of the picture were completed at the ABS-CBN Film Archives while the audio restoration was done at Narra by Wildsound Studios in 2023.
