==Plot==
==Plot==
In 1986, Georgia Quizon, her Australian fiancé Jack Outback and their daughter Christine are about to board a plane to [[Australia]] when she needs to use the comfort room. Because of the long wait time, Jack and Christine are forced to leave for Australia without her. She waits until 1989 to get a visa to reunite with her family, but is not allowed to board her plane as her passport is shot during a [[1989 Philippine coup d'état attempt|coup attempt]]. Because of what happened, Jack breaks up with Georgia. Georgia then works at a fish sauce factory owned by Don Emong Goloid, and they marry. On the night of their honeymoon, Georgia accidentally hits Don Emong with a door, causing him to fall down the stairs and accidentally strangles himself to death. Don Emong's wealth is inherited by Georgia, which she uses to go to Australia in an unsuccessful attempt to find her daughter. She ends up adopting a young boy named Val, whom she treats as her child.
The story revolves around Georgia, a Filipina patis (fish sauce) manufacturer and a mother who is finally reunited with her long-lost Filipino Australian daughter after 20 years of separation.


20 years later, Christine has grown up in [[Melbourne]] as a beautiful young lady. When she finds out that her father is still in love with Georgia, she decides to go to the Philippines with her nanny to meet Georgia and prevent Jack from marrying her. Georgia along with Val and her friend Junjun decided to throw a welcome party for Christine. Before they can go to the airport, Georgia is held hostage but saved after seeing Christine. Nanny, however, has a crush on Junjun, despite the latter's homosexuality. Christine gathers evidence that will make Jack hate Georgia more. First, she suspects Val and Georgia to be lovers. As time passes, Christine learns to know her mother better and falls in love with Val, but Georgia's neighbor and suitor Delfin, whose love Georgia rejected, tells Christine what happened to Don Emong. This leads Jack to come to the Philippines.
Christine can think of 101 reasons why her Australian dad must not marry her mom. The number one reason is that Georgia, her mother, disappeared from her life twenty years ago and never came back.


Val later takes Christine's video camera and sees Christine's plot. When Christine learns that Emong's death was accidental, she and Nanny hurriedly rush to the airport. Jack, however, has already arrived and shows Georgia Christine's video showing all of the evidence against her. A betrayed Georgia disowns her daughter. Christine then confesses to Jack that she is the one responsible for everything. There, they ask for forgiveness from Georgia, but she rejects it. When Jack, Christine and Nanny are about to return to Australia, Georgia, has a change of heart. Val and Junjun rush to the airport, but she once again suffers an accident, and is told that Christine has not yet boarded the plane. Despite being injured, Georgia marries Jack.
Now Christine is confused: Why does her father want to marry her mom, who had caused them so much heartache?

When Christine goes to her mother's town in Malabon, what starts out as an investigation turns out to be a hilarious yet touching journey for both mother and daughter. Christine's outrageous attempts to expose her mother's flaws are all foiled, as Georgia also comes up with hysterical schemes to win her daughter's love. Meanwhile, things get more riotous when Nanny Ninonu's blind heart falls for Junjun, who is obviously gay and definitely shows no interest liking her back.

Again and again, Christine is frustrated as no matter how she tries to harden her own heart, she cannot help but fall in love with her mother's town and its people, especially Val, Georgia's adopted son. Through Val's eyes, she reluctantly begins to see what it means to have a real mother.

Despite his discovery of Christine's feelings of attraction towards Val, however, Val is suspicious of Christine's intentions. What happens if here plot to discredit Georgia? Will Georgia have a place in Christine's life? Can Christine learn to accept Georgia as her mother, even if she discovers a dark secret in her mother's past?
