[edit] Sypnosis

In Basta't Kasama Kita Judy Ann plays Princess, a young law graduate who, much to the surprise of her family and friends, forgoes a promising career as a lawyer to sign up with the National Bureau of Investigation as a rookie agent. Princess unexpected choice, however, was spurred by her need to know what happened to her father, Godofredo (John Arcilla), an NBI agent who disappeared fifteen years ago, and is now presumed dead. Despite being very young when Godofredo disappeared, and despite the insistence of her mother (Sylvia Sanchez) that he is indeed dead, Princess believes he is still alive - and is determined to find him, no matter what.

Princess' unusual abilities and background lead her straight to NBI's top-secret squad, EAGLES (Elite Agents of Government Against Lawless Elements of Society). This in turn, brings her a senior partner, a macho but brilliant veteran agent named Ambet Katindig (Robin Padilla), whose streetsmart exterior hides a softhearted family guy devoted to his mother Nanay Ligaya (Gina Pareño) and his adopted family of misfits (Nikki Valdez, Jiro Manio and Hannah Bustillos). Despite having constant fights with Ambet, Princess eventually realizes that Ambet is a man she can depend on - but can she lower her guard enough to let him into her life?
