Series overview

Episode

Premise

The Greatest Love begins with aspiring photographer Gloria (Ellen Adarna) and her love story with a boatman named Peter (Ejay Falcon). Despite the fact that they love each other, Gloria is forced under duress by her father to marry Andres Alegre (Junjun Quintana), the town mayor's nephew who raped her.

Through the years, Gloria (Sylvia Sanchez) is a loving and selfless mother to Amanda (Dimples Romana), Andrei (Matt Evans), Paeng (Arron Villaflor), and Lizelle (Andi Eigenmann). To her children's perception, their father is a hard working OFW who visits from time to time. They live in the Alegre ancestral family home. Andres does not remit funds regularly so Gloria compensates by collecting, buying and selling junk. When their father comes to visit, they are a picture of a happy family.

At the root of their family's problems are her children's misconceptions that their mother was unfaithful to their father, the late Andres. Gloria refuses to sully their memory of their father, so she never admits to them that she was raped by Andres.

The breaking point is when they discover that Lizelle is an illegitimate child, the result of Peter and Gloria's illicit love affair, when Andres abandons them.

This long-kept secret shatters their happy family, and Gloria's children leave her one by one. As Gloria struggles to keep her family together, she starts to show symptoms of dementia and begins to lose pieces of her memory. She initially brushes off the symptoms until she is finally diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

As her illness progresses, Gloria attempts to bring back the love her family once had for each other; however, it becomes more difficult as she races against time while trying to gather her memories before they are completely wiped out. Peter (Nonie Buencamino) returns to Gloria’s life and together they try to mend her children's relationship with her and each other.

Cast and characters

Main cast

Cast Character Character Information
Sylvia Sanchez Gloria Guerrero-Alegre / Gloria Guerrero-Alcantara†[3][4][5][6] A selfless mother to her four children, always prioritizing them and their feelings before her own. She is joyful and always has a positive outlook on life with her motto There is money in the trash. She runs a profitable junk shop, and helps lead a Zumba-Chi class in her free time. Her dream is to have a plot of land for a vacation house in her home province of Bagong Ilog. Gloria is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and the symptoms of her illness cause her trouble throughout the series.
Nonie Buencamino Peter Alcantara† Vice chairman of Nuevo Rio Constructions, named after his home province of Bagong Ilog. He is Gloria's one true love and Lizelle's biological father. After losing connection with Gloria years ago, he becomes a successful businessman. Peter then returns to her life; at first he is angry because he thought Gloria betrayed and manipulated him, but after confirming he is Lizelle's father he is determined to make up for all the lost time they missed. He wants to marry Gloria, but Amanda, Andrei, and Paeng object because they believe he is the cause of their broken family. Undeterred, Peter waits until the Alegre siblings finally accept him. They marry towards the end of the series.
Andi Eigenmann Lizelle G. Alegre / Lizelle G. Alcantara-Sobrevista [6][7][8] Gloria's youngest child who helps her mother at their family junk shop. Lizelle is the fruit of Gloria and Peter's illicit love, so this makes her the heir to the Alcantara fortune. She had seen Peter before in her childhood, and believed he is her biological father. Lizelle meets Peter again after the latter saves her from getting hit by a car. In order to further strengthen his bond with his daughter, Peter has Lizelle’s last name changed to his, and provides everything possible for her to live comfortably while she works at his company.
Dimples Romana Amanda G. Alegre-Cruz[6][9] Gloria's first child. She is a successful marketing executive, a good wife to her husband Chad, and a responsible mother to her son Z. Amanda is mad at Gloria when she learned of her mother's past liaison with Peter Alcantara, and thus despises Lizelle for being their illegitimate child. When she finds out that Gloria has Alzheimer's disease, and the truth about her parents’ relationship, she gradually tries to repair her relationship with her mother and siblings.
Arron Villaflor Rafael "Paeng" G. Alegre[6][10] The third of Gloria’s four children. An aspiring indie rock singer, inheriting his love for music from his father, Andres. Paeng was the first of the siblings to find out about Gloria’s illness, albeit unintentionally. Despite his guilt and worry for his mother, however, he uses the sickness to his advantage and steals money from her to sustain his gambling and alcohol addiction. Like Amanda, he is bitter towards Lizelle and blames her for ruining their family.
Matt Evans Andres "Andrei" G. Alegre Jr.[6][11] A makeup artist and Gloria’s second child. He is the only one out of the Alegre siblings who defends Lizelle despite not having the same father. Andrei is the peacemaker of the Alegre siblings and does what he can to prevent conflict in the family, but his patience eventually reaches its limit. Gloria knew that Andrei was gay during his childhood, and assured that she has always loved him for who he was ever since.
Joshua Garcia Zosimo "Z" A. Cruz[6][12] A senior in high school, Amanda and Chad's son, and Gloria’s grandson. He learns of Gloria's disease, her love story with Peter, and how she was raped by his grandfather Andres. Z helps his Mommyla (mommy + lola) retain her memories by taking photos and filming videos of her daily life, which also documented the deteriorating effects of her illness. After Gloria dies of a severe stroke, he studies to become a doctor.
Ruby Ruiz Lydia Perolino-Thompson[5][6][13] Gloria's best friend since their young adult years. She is a mother figure to Gloria’s children, especially to Paeng as his godmother. Lydia helps Gloria navigate with her sickness, as well as with her family problems. She is the only one who knows Gloria's darkest secret of being raped by Andres, and that Amanda was almost aborted. After Gloria reveals the whole truth to Amanda and Lizelle, Lydia does the same to Andrei and Paeng.
