Under the competent leadership of Capitan Pablo, the dormant revolutionary, the "Pulajanes", re-entered to stop the abuse of landowners as agricultural injustice brings poverty under the US-controlled Philippines.

It was 1898 in one province in the Visayas region, the people began rebelling against the Spaniards towards its independence and the story begins at the Sagrada household, while Felipa is playing the piano, a man silently intrudes the house and looks at her infant son sleeping on his bed.

On that day, a group of Pulajanes ambushed the anti-revolutionary army and this was witnessed by Celina and her family who were returned from Manila.

According to the memoir "Armida" by Monique Villonco, Mga Bilanggong Birhen was shot in the town of Bacolor in the province of Pampanga.

Later on, they decided to rent the house of Charlie Valdes, the classmate of Armida's husband Leonardo Siguion-Reyna, where they spent three weeks in the said place during its shooting period.

Leonardo Siguion-Reyna was also responsible for bringing an old car from the late industrialist Andrés Soriano to the town of Bacolor.
