Last Monday, ABS-CBN finally piloted its much-anticipated family drama The Greatest Love in Kapamilya Gold. It is a story about a mother who is going through a stage of dementia.
At 59, Gloria’s (Sylvia Sanchez) only wish is for her family to be happy and for her children Amanda (Dimples Romana), Andrei (Matt Evans), Paeng (Arron Villaflor), Lizelle (Andi Eigenmann), and grandson Z (Joshua Garcia) to lead good lives.
Gloria embraces happily being a mother, giving her best to her children, shielding them from all the pain and struggles that she herself went through.
However, Gloria’s once-intact family falls apart once a big secret that Gloria has kept from them for years is revealed.
“This is a story of a mother who has sacrificed everything for her children, neglecting herself along the way. This is the most unique character that I’ve portrayed. Even before we take a scene, I’m already crying because it’s so heavy,” shared Sylvia.
Because of the secret, Gloria’s children will leave her one by one until all that is left with her are her memories.
But what if she starts to lose pieces of her memory after she is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease?
As Gloria slowly loses pieces of her memory, will her children also forget her? How will they handle the pain brought about by the secret? Will Gloria be able to unite her family before her memory totally betrays her?
The family drama, meanwhile, will also highlight an unforgettable story of love that viewers should watch out for.
“This is a story about second chances. We are all given second chances by life. This is a journey of a mother’s second chance at motherhood, as well as her second chance at her great love, even at her age,” said the program’s creative manager and legendary writer Ricky Lee.
Also included in the powerhouse cast of The Greatest Love are Nonie Buencamino, Rommel Padilla, Tonton Gutierrez, Ejay Falcon, Ellen Adarna, Junjun Quintana, Aleck Bovick, Luis Alandy, Bobby Andrews, Alex Medina, Mercedes Cabral, and Guji Lorenzana.
With scenes set against the picturesque landscapes of Quirino province, it is directed by Jeffrey Jeturian, Mervyn Brondial, and Dado Lomibao.
