Bitter Sweet Life (2013)

Geneva de Villa is a wealthy young lady whose dearest wish is for the love of a complete family. After her father died, all her mother Rio did was tend their business, the De Villa Maritime Corporation and Manning Agency, and treat their employees unfairly. In the same company, Geneva meets Kiko Sebastian, whose father works in De Villa's agency. While working abroad, his father got sick and eventually died. Like any other case, Kiko got no help from the agency. Fortunately, Geneva helps him until they became friends and develop deeper feelings for each other. Rio opposes the relationship, but Geneva fights for it and willingly endures the hardships of being poor. She meets Kiko's mother Trinidad and siblings Cholo, Lita, and Bebot. She also gets close to Kiko's friend Orlando Ramirez, who secretly admirers her. When Kiko's mother suffers a heart attack and needs an operation immediately, Kiko decides to work in Singapore with high hopes that their situation will improve. Between struggling everyday lives and challenges in communication, Kiko and Geneva prove that distance means so little when someone means so much. Kiko crosses paths with Grace Lim, a Filipino-Chinese businesswoman in Singapore who helps look for a better job; meanwhile, Orlando pursues Geneva. But true love finds its way because Geneva flies to Singapore to visit Kiko. Finally deciding to come back home to the Philippines, Kiko bids farewell to Grace, which the latter refuses: she sets up Kiko and accuses him of rape. Kiko is sent to jail and sentenced to death. Upon hearing of this, Geneva desperately seeks her mother's help; in exchange, she agrees to her mother's wish that she marry the now-affluent Orlando. (Source: IMDb) Edit Translation
