Dolce Amore

In a war-torn country, Alice loses her daughter Monica just after parting ways with her husband, Uge. Unknown to Alice, Monica now lives in Italy as Serena with her adoptive father Roberto and his wife Luciana. Meanwhile, a young orphan named Simon rekindles his hope of having his own family when a couple comes to Buklod Kalinga one day.

Simon becomes friends with Serena after sending her a letter of gratitude for the package she sent to the orphans of Buklod Kalinga. However, Serena’s happiness quickly turns into despair when an incident force Melds to leave for good.

Luciana takes on the responsibility of raising Serena to be worthy of being a Marchesa. Meanwhile, the Ibarras adopt Simon and give him the nickname Tenten. A decade later, Serena tells Roberto her wish to visit Askovia.

Serena’s hope to find her real family fades when the minister of Askovia informs her that they cannot find the man who turned her over to the soldiers’ camp. Meanwhile, Dodoy suffers a mild stroke, forcing Tenten to use all his savings.

An announcement from Gian Carlo's father will upset Serena.

Tenten readily escorts Sese to the hotel, mistaking her as his client. Later, Sese catches Tenten naked in her room and reports him to the police.
