Los Bastardos

book two

While the Cardinals search for Matteo, he manages to elude them, wrecking havoc when he can, including setting fire to Lorenzo's car.

Although Lorenzo and Lucas want to get back to Matteo to pay for his crimes, Don Roman is adamant about giving him one more chance to shape up and bring him back into their fold. So the brothers continue to search for Matteo with mixed feelings - Isagani is prone to compassion, Connor is open to giving him second chance as he was given the same, while Lucas and Lorenzo harbor deep anger against him.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that Catalina is Dulce's mother, taken from her by her jealous husband and given to Menandro to kill. Unable to kill his infant niece, he legally adopts her as a Silverio.

Catalina locates her but does not reveal herself. Instead she ingratiates herself to Dulce, hoping to gain her trust, and use her as a pawn in her revenge plan. She befriends Dulce while she is at her most vulnerable, when she feels left out, disappointed with Lorenzo and jealous of Isay and Isagani's upcoming engagement. Catalina plants seeds of jealousy, driving Dulce to encourage Matteo to gate crash Isagani and Isay's 'Pamanhikan', or "parental marriage proposal", a solemn and formal Engagement Party to ask the bride's parents for her hand, which is a very much respected custom in the Philippines.

edits Los Bastardos

As Dulce and Catalina expected, Matteo arrives at the dinner and announces to everyone that Connor had attempted to rape Isay in the past. Nante is furious that Isay was placed in such peril, but is infuriated when he believes Matteo's claim that Isagani covered it up to protect his brother. Nante calls the engagement off and instructs Isay to cut ties with the Cardinals. Nante files attempted rape charges against Connor and obstruction of justice against Isagani. The relationship between Isay's father and the Cardinals as well as the Esperanzas quickly deteriorates.

Meanwhile, Don Roman decides he has had it for his lost son and will no longer help Matteo. The brothers gather all their evidence and witness statements and file multiple charges against Matteo where he is finally arrested.

While Matteo is incarcerated, and the Cardinal brothers face the charges against them, Catalina continues to wreak havoc on the Cardinals who at this point are not aware of her evil intentions. She uses Dulce who is now estranged from the Cardinals and is trying to help get Matteo out on bail.

Nang Ngumiti ang Langit

This fictional tale follows the life of a young orphan, Mikmik Dimaano, growing up in a mansion belonging to her mother's family, yet never accepted because they all believe her mother is the illegitimate daughter of the family patriarch, Don Gabriel Salvador with Letitia Dimaano (Isay Alvarez), Mikmik's grandmother. In truth, Letitia is Don Gabriel's first wife, whom he secretly married in the beginning of his career, but who he forsakes for a life with Divina Salvador.

Ella

It begins with the story of Mikmik's mother, Ella Dimaano (Kaye Abad), who moves to live with her biological father, the wealthy real estate developer Don Gabriel Salvador. She does so to fulfill her dream to attend College and become a doctor. Ella is fearful of being treated harshly by her father's wife Divina (Pilar Pilapil) because she believes she is his illegitimate daughter with her mother.

Before Ella was born, Don Gabriel leaves Letitia when the wealthy and beautiful Divina decides he should be her husband. Dazzled by her beauty and offer to invest in his business, Divina entices Gabriel away from Letitia. Heartbroken and pregnant with Ella, Letitia moves to the province, solely raising Ella, never seeking help from Gabriel.

In the meantime, Divina elicits the help of her lawyer and best friend, Nante (Victor Silayan/Teroy De Guzman), to destroy Gabriel's marriage records so she can marry Don Gabriel.

Their marriage is not a happy one, unfortunately. Unable to bear a child, Don Gabriel drifts away and becomes a workaholic. They adopt a child, and although Divina adores Eric (Rafa Siguion-Reyna), their son is largely ignored by Gabriel, who feels no connection to his adopted son.

When Don Gabriel brings Ella to live with them, Divina is angry and mortified. But surprisingly, Eric forges a strong bond with his sister and they become each other's supporter. The kind hearted Ella is loved by the household staff as well. Her father admires her intellectual capabilities as she consistently gets top marks in her academics. Divina despises her all the more.

Ella's life turns upside down when her father is assassinated. Her step mother changes her status in the household and makes her a maid, unaware that her father named her his heir with rights to her inheritance as his legitimate child.

Ella meets Michael Villaluna and the pair fall in love. They keep their relationship a secret because of complications within both families: Michael is the son of David Villaluna, a building contractor whose business relationship with the Salvadors turns sour after a disaster in one of their projects. David Villaluna is blamed for Gabriel's assassination, although no evidence to support this allegation exists. Michael's former fiancé, Katrina De Leon is Eric Salvador's new wife.

Jealous of Ella, Katrina exposes their relationship, angering Divina who kicks her out of the Salvador mansion. Although Michael offers to care for Ella, fate destroys their future together when Eric arrives at the Villaluna mansion that evening and a violent fight occurs.

Earlier, after confronting his mother about Ella's banishment, Eric learns the truth about Ella's legitimacy and is appalled that his mother kept the truth from her. He decides to tell her the truth.

But upon arriving at the Villalunas, he and Michael have a violent argument blaming each other for Ella's banishment, and Eric is killed before he could tell her the truth about her legitimacy. Michael is arrested and goes to prison, while Ella returns to her hometown in the province. Pregnant with Michael's child, she decides to raise her child herself, as her mother once did, away from the Salvadors and the Villalunas.

Ella delivers a baby girl and names her Mikmik, and they both live in Ella's childhood home in the barrio. Their humble and peaceful existence is disrupted when Ella is diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukemia. As they raise funds for Ella's chemotherapy, Mikmik discovers her mother's keepsake bag containing photographs and a letter from "E. Salvador". She assumes this is her father, and believes they would help her mother with the chemotherapy.

Her mission fails when Divina rejects her and Ella dies not long after. After Ella's passing, Mikmik expresses her desire to live with her mother's family. Eager to be part of her family, she moves in with her mother's best friend, Ruth, who is Divina's Majordomo, a long time retainer of Divina Salvador. Ruth and Ella grew close when Ella lived with the Salvador's as a maid.

Katrina

Katrina de Leon (Cristine Reyes) has dreams of her own and is determined to fulfill it. In love with Michael Villaluna (RK Bagatsing), she is equally hopeful that marrying him will make her financially secure.

The catastrophic structural collapse of the Salvador building and subsequent assassination of Gabriel Salvador changes everything when Michael's father, David Villaluna, is blamed for both disasters. Michael confronts his father and demands that they owe up to the structural collapse but his father refuses. Michael, not wanting to be part of his father's unethical practices, voices out his plans to leave the family firm since he has long wanted to venture out on his own. Katrina is adamant he remain, and they quarrel, leading Michael to realize their differences in values. He breaks up with her.

Angry, Katrina goes after Eric Salvador and marries him soon after she tells him she is pregnant. Divina suspects she does not really love Eric and makes her sign a Prenuptial agreement.

Katrina exposes Ella's relationship with Michael, prompting Divina to kick Ella out of the mansion.

She is widowed when Eric is shot accidentally by Michael and dies.

Mikmik

Almost a decade after Ella is banished from the mansion, Mikmik returns to live with the household staff, just as her mother did.

Treated with disdain by her cousins and cruelly by Katrina, Mikmik is determined to win their hearts. She fiercely believes in the sense of belonging to a family, hopeful they will accept her one day.

Careful not to create more conflict, she talks about her affinity with the Salvadors to a few members in the mansion: Ruth, Benjie and her son Joseph. As far as the rest of the family and the household, Mikmik is Ella's daughter, the illegitimate side of Gabriel Salvador.

Divina has a different agenda for allowing Mikmik to live in the mansion: use her against David Villaluna, knowing she is her enemy's only granddaughter.

Katrina is furious that the child of her former fiancé and rival, and alleged killer of her husband is living in her home. She sets out to bully her but Divina stays her hand. Katrina nevertheless makes life miserable for Mikmik in everyway she can.

Mock Battle of Manila

Following the surrender of the Spanish, the Americans immediately turned their attention to keeping General Aguinaldo’s men out of Manila. Filipino forces were not able to capture Manila, increasing anti-American sentiments and suspicions that the liberators would be our next conquerors.

Background of Philippine American War

May 19, 1898. Aguinaldo, unofficially allies with the United States, and resumes attacks against the Spaniards.

By June, the Philippine revolutionary army gain control of almost the entire country except the walled city in Manila, the Spaniards' major stronghold of Intramuros.

June 12, 1898. With their enemies evident defeat, Aguinaldo issues the Philippine Declaration of Independence.

Although Filipinos consider this day as the end of the revolution, neither Spain nor the United States recognizes Philippine independence.

In December, Spanish rule of the Philippines officially ends with the Treaty of Paris of 1898, which also ends the Spanish–American War. In the treaty, Spain cedes control of the Philippines and other territories to the United States. There is an uneasy peace around Manila, with the American forces controlling the city and the weaker Philippines forces surrounding them.

On February 4, 1899, in the Battle of Manila, fighting breaks out between the Filipino and American forces, starting the Philippine–American War. Aguinaldo immediately orders "...peace and friendly relations with the Americans be broken and that the latter be treated as enemies".

In June 1899, the nascent First Philippine Republic formally declares war against the United States.

Baler

Storyline

Set in the late 19th century, this historical drama is based on the Siege of Baler, an event that occurs in the Philippines that begins in July 1, 1898 and lasts up to June 2, 1899.

The story weaves real events with imagined incidents as fictional characters interact with historic real-life figures of the 337-day Siege of Baler. Baler, Aurora is located on the eastern coast of Luzon, a remote town reachable only by sea or by foot through a jungle terrain.

As real events of the Siege unfold, the film follows the love story of Celso Resurrección (Jericho Rosales), a Spanish Mestizo soldier and Feliza Reyes (Anne Curtis), a local maiden and daughter of a Katipunero, their relationship caught in the middle of the Philippine Revolution conflict. Celso, who is half Spaniard, joins the Spanish Army hoping he is sent to Spain after the war so he can search for his soldier father who he hasn't seen since his father was sent back to their motherland. Celso meets Feliza while assigned to the Baler regiment and they fall in love.

In June, a month before the siege, the first Philippine Republic President Emilio Aguinaldo unofficially allies with the United States, and Filipino revolutionists resume attacks against the Spaniards with the aid of Americans . After 333 years under Spanish rule, Philippine revolutionary army has control of the entire country.

Baler is guarded by a fifty seven-man detachment of the 2nd Expeditionary Battalion of Spanish "Cazadores" under Captain Enrique de las Morenas y Fossí, the Principe district political-military governor, including three "Indios" and Celso, the Mestizo. In June, de Las Morenas tasks his Cazadores to stock food supplies and ammunition and fortify the church compound of San Luís de Tolosa in Baler's town square against a possible attack from the revolutionary army. The church was the only stone building in the area.

In the midst of the uneasy quiet, Celso and Feliza enjoy their love affair, a relationship they keep secret. But military conflict escalates and rumors of an upcoming battle is confirmed when the town residents leave their homes.

On June 30th, 800 Filipino troops under Colonels Calixto Villacorte and Teodorico Luna attack the garrison and the Spaniards take shelter in the church as they planned. The town priest, Padre Candido Gómez Carreño, stays with them in the church. Manuel Reyes, Feliza's brother, leaves his family to join Father Gomez as his Sacristan. Manuel desires to become a priest to the disappointment of his father.

Moreno's detachment of the 2nd Expeditionary Battalion is unaware that the war is over. He prepares to defend Baler town in Quezon Province against the Filipino forces. He is confident that reinforcements will come. Celso is one of the fifty Cazadores hunkering down in the church, a Mestizo, one of four soldiers in the Spanish regiment with native ties. Celso's mother is a Filipina. Celso recognizes Manuel and urges him to leave the Church because of the danger they face, but Manuel is convinced that his Christian duty is to stay and help the Padre. He also believes that his presence would hold back the Filipinos from storming the church. The Spaniards allow him to stay but tells him he can leave if he chooses to.

Outside the church, Feliza's distraught father runs to the town square fronting the Church and implores his son to leave the church but Manuel is resolute in his decision.

Over the coming weeks, several attempts are made by the Filipinos to get the Spaniards to surrender, promising them safe conduct. They offer a full day suspension of hostilities which both camps accept to give both parties time to bury their casualties and the Spaniards the opportunity to assess the reality of their situation.

The Spaniards endure the deteriorating conditions inside the church. As months pass, the hot climate spoils their food supply, and the soldiers risk getting shot at when they forage at night for fruits, berries and various herbs. One night, the Captain orders Celso and another Filipino Cazadore on a foray to burn nearby houses to distract the Filipinos and show them that their spirits are not broken. Celso takes this opportunity to see Feliza. She gets the chance to hand him a potful of food from the town fiesta held earlier that day in the town square as a ploy to entice the Spaniards to give up.

The women townsfolk complain to the Filipino leaders that they have not heard mass in months. Succumbing to pressure, the Filipinos request the Spaniards to cease hostilities for an hour to allow Padre Gomez to say mass outside the church. The Spaniards agree. The townsfolk and the Reyes family are happy to see their son Manuel for the first time since the siege while he assists the priest as the sacristan. While the townsfolk worship outside, the Spaniards worship inside the church. Unfortunately, weakened and ill from the deteriorating conditions inside the church, Padre Gomez dies before the mass is finished, and the temporary ceasefire ends as soldiers bring the priest back inside and the fighting resumes. At this point, Celso and the Spaniards urge Manuel to leave the church and he agrees. As Manuel leaves the church, his family rush to greet him. And contrary to what Manuel expects, his father breaks down and embraces him.

A brief respite comes on Christmas Day. As Feliza's family enjoy their Christmas Eve feast (the traditional "Noche Buena"), a Carabao is spotted in front of the church door, a stray perhaps or a present from the townsfolk. The Spaniards enjoy a hearty Christmas meal and a boost of food provisions that last a few days.

Although the soldiers suffer casualties from the gunshots, diseases such as Beriberi and Dysentery claim many lives and weaken the survivors. In September, their commanding officer Captain de Las Morenas succumbs to Beriberi. Command falls to Lt. Saturnino Martín Cerezo when Las Morenas dies in December.

Despite efforts to dislodge the Spaniards from the church, the Filipinos, under a flag of truce, leave newspapers on the church steps which reports Spain's planned departure from the Philippines and the Spanish-American war is over. They bring in Spanish civilians, a uniformed Spanish officer who advises Lt. Martin that Spain's affairs in the Philippines is closing. Lt. Martin refuses to believe them. His leadership is strong and the emaciated soldiers remain loyal to him.

Lt. Martin is as stubborn as his predecessor, convinced that reinforcements are coming, and indeed they would have been rescued by the Americans.

Their food runs out in April, and the Spaniards resort to eating stray dogs, cats, reptiles, snails and crows. Weak as they were, they ably defend their post from their advantageous positions in various parts of the church that provides them view of their targets. As the only tall structure in the town their riflemen easily picks off Filipino soldiers coming within their view.

That same month, the Americans send Commander Charles S. Sperry, commanding the USS Yorktown, to rescue the Spaniards. The Philippines has been at war with the United States since February. No longer allies, the Filipinos get Intel of the planned mission. They intercept the Americans and prevent the rescue, killing Americans and capturing others. The failed reinforcement efforts damage the Spaniards' morale and a few plan to escape. Celso is one of them, especially when he learned a few months back, that Feliza is expecting their child. At one of their public exchange of information, Feliza and Celso act as emissaries for each camp. She furtively passes on a letter to Celso telling him she is pregnant. At the time of Celso's desertion, he is unaware that Feliza has given birth to his son who names him Celso Resurreción Jr.

On the night of the desertion, three Filipino natives and three Spaniards including the Mestizo soldier, Celso, escape their posts while everyone is asleep. The sound of the doorlatch opening awakens Lt. Martin and he catches Celso and Mauro, one of Filipino natives in the Spanish service, about to escape. Fearful of being shot by Lt. Martin, Mauro accuses Celso of aiding the desertion of the three Spanish soldiers who escape. Lt. Martin orders Celso's execution on June 1, 1899, the day before the surrender.

That evening, Martín reads an article concerning a close friend's posting, plans of which only he knew, which convinces him the newspapers are genuine and that Spain lost the war. The next day, he assembles his men and informs them of his discovery that Spain did lose the war. On June 2, 1899, Lt. Martin Corezco and his troops surrender to the Philippine Republic Army led by Lt. Coronel Simón Ocampo Tecson.

As Martín formally signs the surrender papers in front of the townsfolk of Baler, Feliza scans the emaciated and skeletal soldiers standing in formation, but does not see Celso. She runs inside the church and finds his lifeless body in the Baptistry of the church. He is bound and shot through the heart.

Of the fifty men who entered the church of Baler on June 27, 1898, thirty-five survive the siege that lasted for 337 days.

Post credits at the end of the film says that Lt. Saturnino Martin-Corezco was promoted to Major. He was decorated with the Royal Cross of the Military Order of San Fernando, and went on to become a Major General. He died in 1948

Over 9,000 Spanish soldiers surrendered to the Philippine Republic Army, even before the mock "Battle of Manila Bay" of May 1, 1898.

Celso Resurrection Jr. grew up in Baler and served in the Philippine Army in World War II. He died in 1980.

A declaration of resistance against Spanish colonial rule that began with the Cry of Baler in September 1897 is where the last Spanish garrison in the Philippines surrendered after the Siege of Baler, effectively ending 333 years of Spanish rule in the country.

Notes

The Beginning

Halik is a story of two marriages, marred by temptation, discontentment, misunderstandings, and other relationship problems.

This fictional teleserye follows the lives of two childhood friends, Jacky Montefalco (Yen Santos) and Lino Bartolome (Jericho Rosales), torn apart by a vengeful man and then thrust together by a cruel twist of fate, and betrayal.

Jacky is the heiress of MonteCorp Furniture, a renowned furniture establishment in the Philippines and Asia. She is the only daughter of Mauro and Loida Montefalco (Precious Lara Quigaman), prominent members of society in the country and owners of MonteCorp. Jacky learns early on that she is not the natural offspring of the man she thought was her father. Nevertheless, she longs for her adoptive father’s acceptance.

Mauro Montefalco (Romnick Sarmenta) is a cruel man who kills his wife's lover in a jealous rage, and raises her daughter as his legal child. This is as far as his benevolence goes as he is extremely cruel and dismissive to his daughter. Though he keeps up with the filial appearances to save his face, he dislikes his daughter and directs his anger on her and the Bartolome family who he blames for his unhappiness.

Agustin "Gustin" Bartolome (Allan Paule) is a talented furniture designer whose pieces are much sought after. It is through Agustin that Loida meets her lover, Robert Oliva. Loida is the suffering wife of the domineering Mauro. The couple fall in love. Loida attempts to leave Mauro to join Robert but he is killed. Jacky is the fruit of their relationship.

MonteCorp

MonteCorp, originally the Ybañez Furniture of Cebu, is a well known furniture company founded by the Ybañez family, Loida's parents. Close family friend and furniture designer, Gustin Bartolome designs their furniture products, and when Mauro takes over the reins of Ybañez Furniture after his in-laws retire, he keeps Gustin in his employ.

Years later and rebranded as MonteCorp, the company expands into the Asian market, but their financial growth and success are marred by his discontented furniture workers who are underpaid and maltreated. Neither does he give credit to his designers for their creations. In a labor dispute with his workers, Gustin Bartolome is killed in a suspicious warehouse fire. Mauro steals Gustin's portfolio, a worn out sketch book containing numerous drawings of furniture that have not yet been executed, all signed by the designer and dedicated to his family. It is this sketch book that Gustin was searching for when the fire started in the factory's storage and lost his life.

Gustin's death results to a parting of ways and bitterness between the Bartolomes and the Montefalcos, and the childhood best friends and teenage sweethearts part ways.

Years pass. Agustin's son, Lino establishes a furniture design group called Dos Disenyos. His modern, fast forward designs catch the attention of the younger market and he becomes a serious contender to MonteCorp's market share. Lino is certain MonteCorp is using his father's personal sketches but is not able to prove it because of the missing portfolio. He suspects Mauro is responsible for his father's death.

Before the tragic fire that took his father's life, Lino spent many years watching his father sketch as he explained each design details and the inspiration behind them. It is this intimate knowledge of his father's designs that Lino is able to recognize his father's personal sketches among MonteCorp's award winning pieces.

Lino and Jade

Years later Lino falls deeply in love and marries Jade Flores (Yam Concepcion), and like other couples, have plans and dreams of their future together as a family. They suffer the loss of their first child from a late term miscarriage, an event that significantly impacts Jade. The loss triggers a Postpartum depression, as Jade begins to suffer mood swings and bizarre behavior, and experiences a restlessness she blames on their home life and the extended family living with them.

Jade longs for the privacy of a house of their own, independent from her in-laws. Sharing her house with an extended family becomes a bone of contention between the couple and they argue incessantly over it.

Meanwhile, as he struggles to understand Jade, Dos Disenyos is on the brink of success, distracts him from Jade's anxieties.

Jacky and Ace

Meanwhile, Jacky marries Ace Corpuz (Sam Milby), the eldest son of her father’s business partner. Jacky is very much in love with him, despite her suspicions of his womanizing. In fact, Ace is a serial womanizer who is glib enough to get away with his philandering.

Although Ace has no qualms about his liaisons, he becomes very jealous of Lino when they all run into each other during a furniture trade exposition in Bali, Indonesia. The childhood friends had not seen each other since they broke up a decade ago. Ace's unreasonable jealousy drives him to get back at Lino and he does this the only way he knows how - pursue and seduce Lino's wife.

The Affair

By a cruel twist of fate, Lino and Jacky's lives collide once more when their spouses, Jade and Ace, are entangled in a scandalous affair. At the same time, Jacky's mother dies from a self inflicted gunshot to her chest, which Jacky refuses to believe. In fact, Jacky's suspicions are not far off when it is revealed that Mauro did shoot Loida accidentally, in a fit of rage when Loida tells him she is leaving him. Mauro bribes the Coroner to fake the autopsy results.

Days before her death, she returns Gustin's missing portfolio to Lino and his family. And after years of advising her daughter to defer to her father's wishes, she gives Jacky permission to free herself from her domineering father.

Jacky is baffled by her mother's suicide but her death leaves Jacky with a larger stake in MonteCorp, a seat in the board and a significant say in the company. This allows Jacky the freedom to resign from her father without compromising her ownership in the firm.

Meanwhile, Jacky and Lino experience the heaviest trial in their respective marriages: the devastating discovery of their spouses' affair.

As Mauro and the Corpuzes escalate their revenge against Dos Disenyos with underhanded tactics and industrial espionage, Jacky uses her clout to thwart their plans. Devastated and heartbroken over Ace's betrayal, she throws Ace out of their home.

Lino also fights back. He sues Mauro for stealing his father's designs, but the Corpuzes pay the fiscal to drop the case for lack of merit. Completely devastated over Jade's betrayal, Lino struggles to overcome his feelings for her and focuses on moving on.

The Aftermath

As more secrets and scandals are exposed, the two betrayed spouses, Lino and Jacky, join forces to reckon with their respective spouses and attempt to close the painful chapters of their past. Jacky leaves MonteCorp and joins Dos Disenyos and the duo draw in more projects and the company expands even more.

Mauro suffers a debilitating stroke, and the real enemy emerges: Paeng Corpuz. Ace and his father team up to take over MonteCorp, which turns out to be Paeng's plan from the start. They get financing from a mysterious venture capitalist Aliyah Torres who wants to purchase MonteCorp. Unknown to the Corpuzes, Aliyah has another agenda, an axe to grind against Mauro and she intends to destroy MonteCorp with him and the entire Corpuz family.

While Mauro is incapacitated, they institute board resolutions that overrules Mauro's directives despite his majority stock control. Mauro is about to lose MonteCorp to the Corpuzes.

Jacky wrestles with the dilemma: to help her father who rejected her throughout her entire life and save the company founded by her grandparents? or does she turn her back on the people who give her so much grief? Jacky chooses to save the company founded by her grandparents and resigns from Dos Disenyos. This pleases Mauro, who has, since his stroke, a change of heart towards his daughter. Mauro realizes Jacky's value and thanks her for not giving up on him. Jacky is overwhelmed and they reconcile.

Lino and Jacky also face new challenges: a rekindling of their friendship is complicated by Jade's pregnancy and the DNA test confirming Lino is the father. Both are cautious and guarded about their feelings.

Unexpectedly, a new love interest comes into Jacky's world, giving rise to Lino's jealousy. But Jade's pregnancy is tenuous, and so he takes her in because he feels responsible for his child.

Jade, realizing her mistakes, tries her best to make up for her betrayal, but Lino tells her it is too late. When she overhears Lino tell Jacky that he no longer loves Jade as he once did, the painful realization that she lost Lino for good triggers a premature labor and birth of their son. Memories of their first child shake them up. Parenthood prevails as they try to set aside a barrage of emotions resulting from the complications of their relationship.

Meanwhile, Lino understands Jacky's decision to resign and gives his blessings but struggles to control his feelings for her, especially now that her relationship with Yohan Tanaka (Daniel Matsunaga) appears serious.

After a month in an incubator, Lino's son ("CJ") finally comes home from the hospital and the Bartolomes welcome the newest member of the family with joyous anticipation of new beginnings. Unfortunately, happiness does not come easy. Jade suffers Postpartum depression and struggles with nursing her son. Determined to win back Lino, she can't accept that he no longer loves her. Emotions run high in a household hoping the worst has past. Ill feelings create conflict within their family and additional stress on her depressed state. His friendship with Jacky gives rise to unreasonable jealousies. Try as he might, the current set up is not working well for Lino, who despite his desire to do right for his son, is unable to get Jade to understand that they are no longer a couple.

Desperate to win back Lino's affection, Jade takes measures in her own hand with disastrous results. Failing to seduce hin, she runs away with baby CJ, and the infant catches the measles and ends up in hospital.

Ace is aware of the Bartolomes' movements, and brings Jade and the baby to the hospital. This is what Jacky and Nanay Dolor sees when they get to the hospital.

Montefalcos vs Corpuzes

Meanwhile, Dos Disenyos' first day without Jacky is uneventful. Basté is back as Project Manager and she easily picks up from where Jacky left off. She also shares information she obtained from her investigations.

Over at MonteCorp, Jacky and Mauro's first day back is contentious. They are advised that the Board's legal counsel is preparing to execute documents for a corporate takeover. The Montefalcos are dismayed that the additional infusion of funds from Aliyah dilutes Mauro's and Jacky's majority shares in the company. A larger share bloc composed of Aliyah and the Corpuzes now make up the majority. A Board resolution made possible because Paeng Corpuz had obtained Mauro's signed approval to sell a bloc of shares to Aliyah, while sedated in the hospital after his stroke.

A catfight ensues between Jacky and Aliyah when MonteCorp's production lead advises Jacky that the company's signature designs are being phased out by Aliyah, despite the fact that these are the company's best selling products.

Jacky has Aliyah investigated and learns her real name is Aliyah Vegafria, the only daughter of Manuel Vegafria, an up and coming furniture business in Davao in the early 80s who committed suicide.

Elsewhere, Aliyah visits a Columbarium where her father's ashes are inurned. She recalls the painful day her father kills himself in front of her school. In their last conversation, he warns her not to trust Mauro Montefalco. Suffering the trauma of her father's suicide, Aliyah swears her revenge on the Montefalcos.

Something about the name Manuel Vegafria is also vaguely familiar to Mauro. He pays a visit to a former employee inquiring about Manuel, who reminds him about the day the man burst into their boardroom demanding Mauro to return his family's money. It turns out that Manuel loses all his family's money from his investments in MonteCorp. Alarmed, he warns Jacky about Aliyah and promises he will update her as he gets credible information. Although Mauro barely recalls the incident, he pays Paeng Corpuz a visit to find out more information, well aware of the fact that in those early days, Paeng Corpuz handled all the trouble shooting and fixed issues.

Child Custody

Jade gives birth prematurely to her baby boy CJ, and uses this to her advantage to get close to Lino who allows her to stay in their home. Her hopes to win back Lino's heart is dashed when Jacky reveals that she is still in love with Lino. Desperate, she runs away with CJ while Lino is away in New York on a business trip. The newborn hasn't had his vaccines yet and as a result, is exposed to measles. Ace, who is stalking the Bartolomes, is notified and takes the opportunity to prey on Jade's fears and tries to win her trust. He feigns a mercy mission to bring Jade and her baby to the hospital.

Lino cuts his business trip short when he senses things aren't right back home. Furious when he learns that Jade put their son at risk, he realizes she will never change, her selfishness is a deterrent to any possibility to become a family, to regain back his trust and love he once felt for her.

While he tries to figure out their living arrangements, Jade agrees to stay with the Bartolomes and promises to not cause trouble. But despite living in a separate unit downstairs, her in laws can barely tolerate her presence. Maggie taunts Jade about Ace which leads to a physical brawl, with Auntie Fe joining in the fray. Furious, Lino finally throws Jade out of their home and files for sole custody of CJ.

Desperate, Jade seeks help from Ace who is eager to create more turmoil in Lino's life. He fakes another DNA test to disprove Lino's previous DNA results and claim his paternity. Accompanied by the local Kagawad and holding falsified DNA results at the Bartolome residence, Jade and Ace demand to take back the child. A violent altercation occurs between Ace and Lino while Jade escapes with CJ. Nanay Dolor collapses from a stroke.

Desperation

Jacky's return to MonteCorp restores their clients' confidence. Her successful exhibit showcasing MonteCorp's signature classic pieces and her new designs boosts sales for the first time since she resigned and the Corpuzes took over.

Meanwhile, Aliyah is frustrated that the Montefalcos have returned, and worse, Jacky is saving the company and regaining the Board's trust. Furious with Ace's distraction over his pursuits towards making Lino's life miserable, she decides to take matters in her hands and attempts to kill Jacky, but is unsuccessful.

As Aliyah's plans for revenge unravels, she lashes out at Ace and admits to planning for MonteCorp's downfall, including the Montefalcos and the Corpuzes. She threatens to pull out her funds from the firm.

Fearing his family's financial ruin and the failure for his own plans to destroy Lino, Ace decides to stop Aliyah from pulling the plug on the firm. He drugs Aliyah's drink with a fatal dosage of her antidepressants and sleeping pills. In a last desperate attempt to seek help, Aliyah calls Jackie to warn her. But because of the bad blood between them, and her drugged state, Jacky can't quite make sense of Aliyah's phone call. When she sends Ken and Chari to Aliyah's house the next day, they watch Aliyah's corpse being taken to the morgue, her death ruled as suicide.

Elsewhere, Basté discovers suspicious files recovered from a flash drive she mysteriously receives during the course of her own investigation of Mauro and Paeng months back after she left Dos Disenyos. The files contain land titles of various properties, and fund transfers from the company accounts to the Corpuz' alias bank accounts. She shows the files to Jacky who has Mauro look at them. Mauro confirms the illegal transactions and tells Jackey he will get additional documents to help her.

Meanwhile, Lino is desperate to get his child away from Jade who has moved in with Ace. With Gio's and Tet's help, Lino is able to keep track of his son's whereabouts and welfare. Lino's legal team presses him to file Adultery charges against Jade and Ace, arguing that this is the strongest means to get full custody. The lawyers explain that the law always defers to the mother, but Adultery is a crime punishable by jail. With Jade in jail, Lino has rights for full custody.

While Lino's lawyers prepare to file for sole custody and substantiate the adultery charges, they advise Lino to stay away from Ace and Jade, to avoid altercations between them are not used against Lino's claims to provide a safe and healthy environment for his son.

His legal team builds a strong case against Jade and Ace on the grounds of adultery, with credible testimonies from Jade's friend Tet, Basté and Dolor Bartolome. Although Lino is tempted to take his son away, he places his trust in the legal system's due process.

When the Fiscal's office find merit in Lino's charges against Jade and Ace, someone tips off Ace that a warrant of arrest is issued against them. Helen provides them two separate units in their building where they hide temporarily so they are not in Ace's unit during the police's first attempt to arrest them.

With only a matter of time before the trio are caught, Helen Corpuz devises a plan to save Ace and keep Jade away for good. Knowing full well that Jade would never let CJ out of her sight, Helen bribes Jade's sister to trick Jade with entrusting CJ to her. When Ace and Jade are finally arrested, Helen promises to have them both released on bail, after which Jade and CJ would leave the country for good to escape the Adultery trial.

The warrant is successfully served on Jade and she is arrested but to Lino's dismay, CJ is missing. His frantic search for his son leads him to Jade's sister, Ruby.

Meanwhile, Helen has Jade's bail raised, delaying Jade's plans to retrieve CJ and run away with Ace. Ruby panics, contacts Ace who brings them to another motel to hideout as they wait for Jade's release.

Gio, who is trailing Ace, tips off Lino on Ruby and CJ's new location and rescues CJ. Their joy is short-lived as Jade is released and with the law still on her side, retrieves CJ. Lino has no choice except to wait for Jade and Ace's trial for adultery.

In a new turn of events, a mysterious woman calls Jacky offering information regarding Ace, Paeng and Mauro. The caller reveals to be Aliyah, who survived the drug overdose and faked her suicide after being saved by her doctor friend. She executes her revenge on Mauro and succeeds in destroying his newly reconciled relationship with Jacky.

Character Descriptions

Hi I’m Pipamidalton! User Filipinoman9103 removed the characters’ descriptions in today’s edits at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/880212806

If the guideline states character descriptions are not within Wikipedia guidelines then we should adhere to that. I’ve requested Filipinoman9103 to provide the Wikipedia guideline that specifically addresses character descriptions. Several edits and efforts were exerted by different editors on the character descriptions in this article and it was removed without a real explanation in the edit summary. Wikipedia encourages a community of editors to participate in good faith edits, to fix errors in grammars or awkwardly phrased sentences, and delete vandal edits, edit errors and good faith edits that are against the Wikipedia guidelines. I have not seen the guidelines Filipinoman9103 refers to specifically, but I do know Wikipedia guidelines for character descriptions are allowed. What isn’t allowed are labeling. Specifically, editors should refrain from labeling, I.e. - protagonist, antagonist, etc. See WP:PROTAGONIST

The guidelines state that If roles are described outside of the plot summary, editors are to keep such descriptions concise. Interpretations in the form of labels (e.g. protagonist, antagonist, villain, main character) should be avoided. Please advise the specific guidelines referred to, otherwise, I feel we should revert Filipinoman9103’s edits, and bring back previous edits, since much work had been done by other editors. If you wish to discuss, message me in my Talk page. If I’m wrong I will wholeheartedly agree with Filipinoman9103’s edits.ThanksPipamidalton (talk) 01:12, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
