Maria Mercedes Plot from (excerpt from Wikipedia)

Maria Mercedes is a poor girl who is abandoned with her brothers and sister by her ambitious mother. Because of the lack of support from her perennially drunk father, she is forced to raise her brothers and sister on her own, working in the streets of Mexico City selling lottery tickets and flowers. 

Santiago del Olmo is very sick and knows that he is dying. One morning when he is in the garden, he sees María selling lottery tickets in the street. He comes up with the idea to marry her just to upset his political aunt Malvina after his death as a personal revenge. He gains Maria's trust and friendship, proposes to her, and she agrees. When Santiago dies, María became the head of the family, making Malvina's ire burn stronger. According to his will, Malvina, her son Jorge Luis and her daughter Digna must live there, if they want to inherit any of his fortune. Jorge Luis is a sad man since the murder of his wife on his wedding day. His younger sister Digna is a very religious woman who has never dated a man at all and is afraid of almost every thing, especially her mother. 

After María moves into the del Olmo household, she falls in love with Jorge Luis, who is weak against his mother's will and always does as she wants.

Jessy Mendiola is the fourth Filipino actress to portray a role first made popular by the "telenovela" superstar. Marian Rivera, Carla Abellana and Erich Gonzales previously took on "Marimar," "Rosalinda," and "Maria la del Barrio," respectively.
