DOLCE AMORE Episode 26


We started with Daddy Dodoy being stabilized. After Serena went home, she spoke with Nanny 
Melds and told her that she did not understand refused the money while they were in dire need of it.
Nanny Melds told her that it was something called principle and since Tenten and his family valued it more than the money, they did not want to take it.
Roberto had told Luciana that he had offered Tenten’s family money for the operation but they had refused.  Luciana called them stupid for refusing to accept the money.
Out of desperation, Binggoy went to see Luciana and told her that they really needed money for their father’s surgery. Luciana turned him away and told him that she had offered hem money and they had already refused.
When Serena went to see Tenten the next day, Serena took Tenten to ask money from the foundation. As they were waiting, he asked her to return to Italy with her parents because he could not offer her anything yet and he did not want her to suffer. She however wanted to stay and be with him. Tenten was called in to hear about the status of his donation request but unfortunately, he was not given the money. When he left the room, he told Serena that he had actually gotten the money and his father was going to be operated on.
When Serena went home, she told her parent that she had already decided not to return to Italy and was going to stay in the Philippines for good and be with Tenten. Luciana called her an ingrate and said that she was tired of fighting with Serena. After she left, Robert told her that he understood and would let her stay and be with Tenten.
Back at the hospital, Binngoy hatched up a plan to actually get the money for Dodoy’s operation by kidnapping Serena. He borrowed Tenten’s phone and texted Serena. He told her that he needed her and they arranged to meet. Serena sneaked out in the middle of the night and Luciana saw her running out of the house.  When Serena got to the meeting place, she was blind folded and her hands tied up then taken to a warehouse where Binngoy was waiting. Binggoy went to give her some food and water and she asked him why he had resulted to kidnapping when she had offered to help them. Binggoy told her that he had gone to beg her mother for help but she had insulted him and he had decided to teach her a lesson.
The Marchesas  were worried about Serena so Roberto went to see Tenten at the hospital with the hope that she was with him but he told them that he had not seen her. It was then that Binggoy called Roberto through Serena’s phone and told him to give 5 million as a ransom for the kidnapping. The couple returned home to arrange on how to save Serena and Tenten called Binggoy to ask him if he knew anyone who could help them find Serena. Binggoy told him that he did not know anyone and could not help him. He also told Tenten that whatever he was doing was for their family ad hand up after Tenten asked him where he was.
Tenten was puzzled by his call and went around browsing his message history. He saw messages sent to Serena from his phone and remembered Binggoy borrowing it from him so he realized that Binngoy had taken Serena. He did not tell Mummy Taps about it but he left her to look after Dodoy.
Tenten called Binggoy and demanded to see him. Binggoy agreed since he did not know that Tenten already knew what he had done. Tenten punched him the minute he saw him and told him to take  him to Serena. Binggoy refused and the two started fighting. Tenten called Binggoy selfish for not thinking about their family but Binggoy said he was the selfish one for holding on to Serena while he knew that the two of them would not last. He said that Tenten should have accepted the money  to let Serena go and then they would have enough money for Dodoy’s operation. He then ran off and left Tenten.
Tenten went to the Marchesas and offered to help them look for Serena but Luciana almost had him arrested and she blamed him for causing all the problems with Serena. Tenten however heard that she was willing to give a million as reward to anyone who saved her daughter before he was kicked out.
The police unit was at the Marchesa’s  villa to help them look for Serena and said that they had traced Serena’s phone and knew who had contacted her. They only waited for the phone to be active to be able to locate it.

Since Tenten did not want Binggoy implicated, he came up with a better plan and called Binggoy. He told Binggoy that the Marchesas had called up the NBI and there was no chance of him succeeding. His plan was to take Serena and return her to her parents so that he could get the reward. He also said he would talk to Serena so that she would not say who had kidnapped her. Binggoy agreed and we ended with Tenten arriving at the place where Binggoy was keeping Serena!
