TITUSGREY
Lea Salonga-De Torre and Rafael De Torre were once Manila's most untouchable love story-until they became a masterclass in polite distance.
Separated for seven years after twenty-five years of marriage, they've perfected the art of "civil" hatred... and forced their daughter, Mara Carmina, to spend the last five years commuting between Alabang and Forbes Park like she's still a child of divorce-even while living in Manila as a lawyer.
Now Mara is running for Manila Mayor, and the city wants a leader it can believe in-complete with a family that looks whole. With the campaign spotlight blazing, Mara demands the one thing her parents have avoided for years: show up together. Constantly. Convincingly.
But as rallies, debates, donor dinners, and viral photo-ops trap Lea and Rafael in the same rooms-and the same old memories-their "hate" starts to sound a lot like unfinished love. With complicating optics, and best friends determined to ship them back into marriage... the biggest political battle of the season might not be for City Hall.
It might be for each other.
