Premise
The Greatest Love began with young Gloria's (Ellen Adarna) great love story when she fell in love with a boatman named Peter (Ejay Falcon). Even if they loved each other, Gloria was forced to marry Andres (Junjun Quintana) under circumstances
Through the years, an adult Gloria (Sylvia Sanchez) has become a loving and selfless mother to Amanda (Dimples Romana), Andrei (Matt Evans), Paeng (Arron Villaflor), and Lizelle (Andi Eigenmann).
However, a long-kept secret will shatter their once happy family, leading to Gloria's children leaving 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 discovered that she has Alzheimer's disease.
At the root of their family's problems, all along, her children thought that Gloria was unfaithful to their father, the late Andres (Rommel Padilla). However, unknown to them, Gloria was raped by Andres that made her marry him instead of Peter.
Gloria's family started to become shattered when they discovered that Lizelle was an illegitimate child, the result of Peter and Gloria's illicit love.
Her mission is to bring back the love her family once had for each other as it becomes more difficult as she races against time while trying to gather her memories before they are completely wiped out.
