Love, deception & second chances

MANILA, Philippines – Love, deception and second chances take center stage on GMA 7’s new series, Pilyang Kerubin, which premieres Monday, June 7 on GMA 7.

The new series brings together veteran and new stars like Joel Torre, Lotlot de Leon, Janno Gibbs, Angelika dela Cruz, Paolo Contis, Raymart Santiago, Barbie Forteza and Joshua Dionisio. Elmo Magalona shows that he’s following in the footsteps of his late dad, Francis M, by starring in the series.

The story opens at the time the romance of Melissa (Angelika) and Arman (Raymart), parents of Angelica (Barbie) is starting to bloom.

Jonas (Paolo) is a threat to Melissa and Arman’s relationship. This is because Jonas wants Melissa for himself, even if she is already deeply in love with Arman.

Unable to accept defeat, Jonas devises a scheme that will expel Arman from law school, where he is already a graduating student like Melissa.

Not only does Arman’s world crumble to pieces. He and Melissa part ways. Now, Jonas has Melissa all to himself.

When Arman learns about this, he takes Melissa away and they elope. Melissa gets pregnant but her condition puts her life in danger.

The penniless Arman is forced to ask for Jonas’ help to save mother and child. Jonas tells Arman he will help him only if he promises to leave Melissa.

Arman has no choice but to agree. When Melissa gives birth, Jonas tells her the child has died. This way, Melissa and Arman’s ties will completely be cut off.

Arman orders his maid, Maring (Lotlot) to give the child away. But she instead volunteers to get the child and raise her as her own.

Fastforward to six years later. Maring and the child, Angelica (Barbie) now live in the squatters’ area and no one knows about the little girl’s real parents.

Arman, now a policeman, is married to Lailani (Ina Feleo) and stands as the father of her daughter, Charity.

Meanwhile, Melissa has married Jonas but Arman remains her true love.

Fate will make Melissa, Arman and Angelica’s paths cross again, thanks to a playful guardian angel.

Will Melissa and Arman reconcile? What will happen to their daughter Angelica?
