Maging Sino Ka Man (International title: More Than Love / transl. whoever you may be) is a Philippine television drama/romance series broadcast by ABS-CBN. Directed by FM Reyes Romilla Balmaceda and Mae Czarina Cruz - Alviar, it stars John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Anne Curtis, and Sam Milby.

A sequel to the series, Maging Sino Ka Man: Ang Pagbabalik, premiered on December 10, 2007, and concluded on March 28, 2008.

Overview

The soap opera is notable for featuring two romantic couples rather than the more typical singular couple. The series explores filial relationships between the elite and the poor, and people of different social economic classes.

The recurring subplots include: a father’s masochistic tendencies stemming from resentment toward his deceased mother; an unfaithful wife’s redemption through motherhood; a business tycoon’s obsession with power and raising the 'perfect son'; a son’s submission to his domineering mother; a young woman’s efforts to overcome past trauma; a brother’s guilt over a crime; and a man’s vengeful transformation following the death of his foster father.

Following the first season, a second season, referred to as Book 2, was announced. It continues the narrative to address unresolved mysteries and questions from the first season.

Plot

Part 1: Bucolic Place

The first six weeks of the series spans a period of roughly three months. Jackie has lost her memory and can only rely on Eli, whom she only knows as her husband, and whom she grows to eventually love. Eli is constantly plagued by the lies he has told Jackie. They lead a quiet and simple life, hidden away in a small provincial town, with many nosy but caring neighbours to help them adjust to their new life. While in the province, Eli gets a job working at a quarry, where he meets the foreman, a man named Oca. Mang Oca recognises the jade pendant that Eli wears around his neck and takes an immediate interest in Eli, but does not reveal the reason why. With Jackie now believed to be dead, the Madrigal, Berenguer, and Magsaysay families mourn their loss. Celine, who for many years has concealed a secret love for JB, spends time with him and in the process the two eventually develop a budding romance. Their relationship is complicated by the arrival of Kevin Romero (Baron Geisler), a client who makes no secret of his interest in Celine. With JB's support, Celine stands up to Kevin's blackmail attempt and gains confidence in herself. But before Celine and JB's relationship can grow further, Jackie hits her head in a fall and wakes up remembering who she is.

Part 2: Jackie's Resurrection

Weeks 7 to 10 sudden return Eli resorts to stalking Jackie, only to realize in a chance encounter that she no longer remembers him or the three months they spent together. Eli eventually finds the strength to move on, and with Mang Oca's help, he returns to school to complete his engineering degree. JB finds himself torn between two loves, and does not know how to choose between Jackie and Celine. Celine is unable to deal with JB's indecision and finally realizes that she has once again lost JB to Jackie. Grieving the loss of JB, Celine recklessly uses her charms to land a lucrative account for the company, but her actions are caught on security cameras. JB is hurt and rejects Celine completely, causing her to go on a self-destructive drinking and partying spree. Jackie returns to her old life bringing new preferences, new convictions, and new habits. The subtle changes at first puzzle but later infuriate JB and her father. But Jackie learns to stand up for herself. This part of the series also delves more into the lives of several secondary characters, particularly Jackie's estranged parents, Fidel (Christopher de Leon) and Monique (Bing Pimentel). Their troubled marital past is revealed in bits and pieces—in her loneliness, Monique had given into the temptation of an extra-marital affair because her husband was emotionally distant. When he learned of the affair, Fidel threw her out of his home and cut her off without a single cent. Monique has been living with a gay beautician friend since then. Also in this part of the series, Eli and JB meet for the first time when Eli comes to JB's rescue during a carnapping attempt on JB's car. In the scuffle, Eli is stabbed and JB rushes him to the hospital. Eli earns JB's respect by refusing to take money as a reward, and when the two men part ways, JB asks Eli not to hesitate to contact him if he should need anything. All throughout, Mang Oca continues to keep in touch with Eli, and even steps in to help with Eli's tuition fees and his hospital bills after the stabbing incident.

Part 3: Six Months Later

Weeks 10 to 13 of the series is set six months after Part 2. Celine's mother, Imelda (Irma Adlawan), finally steps in and drags her daughter to a rehabilitation center called The Haven. With time, Celine manages to complete the program and in the process meets Brian Antonio (Ryan Eigenmann), the Haven's founder, who falls in love with her even though Celine is still not completely over JB. Fidel decides to take Jackie to the US for further check-ups ostensibly because he is disturbed by her memory loss. When they return to Manila, Jackie is determined to start a business and eventually opens a landscaping and gardening firm called Jade Gardens. Her continued quest for independence and her insistence on seeing her mother confuse and infuriate JB, but he forces himself to adjust and accept because he is determined to make their relationship work. At a wedding, JB and Celine cross paths for the first time since their bitter argument months earlier. Their passion for one another is still there, but they are forced by circumstances to keep their feelings buried.

Part 4: The Plot Thickens

Jackie's memory seems to be returning, as she has discovered the province where she and Eli stayed during her memory loss. However, recollections remain vague and she does not remember Eli's involvement. Meanwhile, she and Eli become closer, much to the dismay of her father. JB finally professes his undying love for Celine, but gives in to Corazon's emotional blackmail after her suicide attempt, and asks Jackie to marry him. A heartbroken Celine parties the nights away, until Brian comes for her. Jackie is dismayed when Eli decides to quit his job at Jade Gardens, out of fear that Jackie's memory will soon return. His impending departure spurs Jackie to confess her love for him. She later returns her engagement ring to JB. When JB rushes to Celine, however, he is too late; she has already married Brian.Fidel begins a tentative reconciliation with his estranged wife, Monique, and eventually asks her to move back into the Madrigal mansion, much to Jackie's delight and Corazon's dismay. But their reconciliation is short-lived as Corazon sabotages their relationship with some well-placed photographs of Monique with another man. Fidel throws Monique out of the house.

Part 5: Payback Time

Eli and Jackie elope but Fidel and JB catch up and assault Eli before bringing Jackie back home. With Celine's help, Jackie finally escapes her father and fiancé. Fidel sends men to get information from Dadoods and Pong, who are beaten for staying silent. Eli and Jackie are back in the barrio and wait for Oca as he promised to help them. Time passes by and Oca still has not shown up at the barrio to help them. Eli goes back to the city to find him. Pong decides to visit the barrio and wants to talk to Jackie. However, Jackie suspects that someone is following her at the river near the barrio. Jackie panics and rushes to get out of the river when she slips and falls unconscious, hitting her head. Pong rushes over to help her, but when Jackie regains consciousness, she finally remembers everything... and feels betrayed. She goes back to the house in the barrio and waits for Eli. She promises to keep Eli's secrets and protect Pong, but leaves him despite his pleas for her to stay. Jackie's driver finally awakens and tells Fidel that Jackie had been lost during a kidnapping attempt. Eli and JB get into a fight and Eli lands in jail. Pong turns to Celine for help, and she bails Eli out. Eli returns to the hospital to find that Dadoods has died of his injuries while he was in jail. Imelda finds Jackie at Celine's home and calls Fidel.Pong is arrested after one of the kidnapping accomplices turn him in. Eli is enraged and frustrated when he finds Pong badly beaten in jail. Eli pleads with Fidel for Pong's life but Fidel pushes him away and spits on him. Mang Oca finally tells Eli about his lost past. Finding Eli's jade pendant necklace in her backyard and realizing it was the one the Roxas Patriarch (Don Roxas, father of Dona Corazon and Mamu G) was wearing in the photo at the Roxas ancestral house, Celine went to Corazon. She finds a sense of triumph in seeing Corazon beg as to who is the owner of the necklace. The possibility that Corazon might be Eli's real mother, and that she (Corazon) is also cheap, a point Corazon never fails to emphasize to her (Celine) whenever they are together, was enough irony. Corazon and Celine go to see Eli and tells him he might be a Roxas, but Eli laughs at her and reveals that he already knows before throwing them out of his home. Corazon is in anguish as she remembers giving baby Eli to Fidel many years ago.

Part 6: The Lost Truth

Corazon takes a DNA test, and finds out that Eli is a Roxas. She then reveals to JB that Eli is his cousin. The scene changes: Eli walks into a room and bumps into Mamu G. Mamu G stares at Eli and sees the pendant. There is a long flashback, and Mamu G immediately recovers from extreme depression as her memory returns. She hugs Eli, overjoyed. Corazon then approaches Mamu G, who slaps her in the face. Corazon demands to know why, stating that she has taken care of Mamu G for a long time, and deserves thanks for her care and assistance. JB consoles Corazon, saying that Mamu G is still recovering, and that maybe they should have a check-up first to see if she has completely recovered. Indeed, she has. Left without a doubt that Mamu G acted of her own accord, Corazon asks for her reasons. Mamu G angrily asks Corazon how she could kill, and is unwilling to listen when Corazon tries to explain, arguing that she only wanted the baby to be hidden away, not to be killed. Mamu G tells Corazon that the exact opposite was both what Eli had told her and what Fidel had ordered. Corazon visits Fidel, angry at his betrayal. She asks him how he could have done that when she had trusted him all those years. Now, because of him, even her relationship with her sister is destroyed. Fidel tells her it was Mamu G's fault, and that he was forced into it. Eli is reunited with his mother, which only drives JB to jealousy. He insults Eli, saying money is all Eli wants from Mamu G. Angry at the jibe, Eli replies that JB does not know him well, and so has no right to tell him that. Eli joins the RSL with vengeance in mind, and asks for JB's position in the company. Corazon agrees, to her son's surprise, as she feels she has done a great sin to Mamu G and must somehow seek retribution. Mamu G discovers what happens, and is the one to comfort JB. Later on, JB comes over to Mamu G's for dinner—with Jackie. Faced with the uncomfortable prospect of eating at the same table with Eli, Jackie wants to leave straight away. JB, however, will not let her, and brags to Mamu G and Eli about their wedding over dinner, apparently to make Eli jealous.

He totally manipulated her life, and he realizes how he has been evil to her. One morning, Jackie wakes up and sees Fidel serve her some breakfast.

He then shows her around the house, and Corazon notices the flowers all over the place, with Tomas proudly saying that they are all from him. He then shows her an expensive-looking necklace, which he places around her neck choking her. He again is overcome by a sadistic fit of jealousy and beats Corazon up. Meanwhile, Eli goes back to the fountain with Dadoods, and tells Dadoods that inexplicably, he is always taken to that certain place. Dadoods explains that it is the only place that listens to him, and Eli asks that if the place really listens to him, then why is he not brought back to Jackie's arms, to end her suffering? Dadoods explains that he can end her suffering by letting go of his hold on Jackie! Eli says no, and Dadoods explains that he is slowly losing his grip in this world, as he is unable to see Pong anymore. Dadoods then tells Eli how much he loves them.
