Mundo mo'y akin (2013)

Childhood best friends Rodora and Perlita have always suffered from the incessant taunting and ridicule for their ugly features. While Perlita accepted these criticisms gracefully and is satisfied with her life, Rodora believed that there was no future and hope for unattractive people like them. Armed with sheer determination, Rodora works under Doña Carmen, a rich but abusive old lady. When the old woman dies of a heart attack, Rodora claims all her wealth and uses it to go under the knife for a new face. She completely puts her past behind her and changes her name to Giselle. Meanwhile, Perlita is willing to love any man who will accept her entirely despite her physical flaw. This leads her to trust a foreign guy whom she believes loves her sincerely. But after one night, this guy dumps her and takes all her money. Accepting her fate, Perlita works as a maid in the Carbonels' mansion, where fate leads the former friends' paths to cross again. However, Giselle is now the wife of Ziggy, the son of Doña Charito, the matriarch of Carbonel's Barong. Unknown to Perlita, the beautiful wife of her boss is childhood best friend Rodora. Soon after, Giselle and Perlita get pregnant at the same time. Giselle is anxious and concerned that her child will inherit her ugly features, which would bring shame on Ziggy's family and reveal her true identity. Giselle's worst fears become reality when she gives birth to an ugly baby; her world is shattered and she knows that her relationship with Ziggy is over. Perlita, on the other hand, is surprised by her beautiful baby, but she passes out soon after giving birth. Giselle learns from Ziggy's cousin Aida about Perlita's baby and conspires with Aida to switch her ugly baby with Perlita's beautiful child; in return she'll support her in the family business. Aida agrees and Giselle successfully covers up her identity and switches the two babies. As years pass by, Perlita dutifully takes care of her daughter Marilyn, while Giselle raises Darlene as her own. Marilyn and Darlene become close despite their social status. Then Aida's adopted son Jerome, who has always defended Marilyn, falls in love with Darlene. A love triangle ensues and Darlene and Marilyn are now rivals.
