Maria), as part of his adoptive mother’s vengeful scheme against Ellice (Iza Calzado) and her family, including the supposed siblings’ shared father, Gabriel (Sam Milby).</p><p>The deception was nearly revealed when Hope was diagnosed with leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant, with only Jake as the possible donor. Luck favored Marissa, however, as Jake turned out to be a blood match for Hope, despite their not being actually related.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qiDyZgHBq2g?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Unknown to Jake, Marissa had set a condition with Ellice concerning the transplant: she would only let the operation push through, if Ellice agreed to sell Marissa half the ownership of her company, which the latter believed was rightfully hers.</p><p>Told by Ellice of Marissa using Hope’s life as a bargaining chip, Jake decided he has had enough of being used as a pawn in his mother’s plot for revenge.</p><p>Emotionally exhausted — and torn between his duty to Marissa and his love for Hope — Jake finally told the latter the truth: that he was adopted at age 5 by Marissa in Indonesia, and was raised to be her accomplice in her plan to strip Ellice of her fortune and happiness.</p><p>Marissa has long held the mistaken belief the Ellice was behind the order to kill her nearly two decades prior, which resulted in Jacob’s death — the deep-seated motive Jake now echoed to Hope.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mneXP377Kxc?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Visibly confused that her mother would be capable of such a thing, Hope became a reflection of Jake’s own struggle between family and love. Finding comfort in each other, the two agreed to finally step away from the crossfire between their mothers, and eloped.</p><p>The pivotal turn in Jake and Hope’s love story came as “Ang Sa Iyo Ay Akin” approached its final chapter. The ABS-CBN production recently started its last filming cycle, with scenes expecting to bring to a close the rippling feud between Marissa and Ellice, once best friends at the beginning of series.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/12/09/20/watch-grae-fernandez-surprises-kira-balinger-at-contract-signing-prompting-question-on-their-status">WATCH: Grae Fernandez surprises Kira Balinger at contract-signing, prompting question on their status</a></li></ul><p>“Ang Sa Iyo Ay Akin” airs new episodes weeknights and is accessible via free TV (A2Z Channel 11), cable (Kapamilya Channel), on-demand streaming (iWant TFC), and free live streaming (Kapamilya Online Live).</p><div><strong>Related videos:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2VeojrKcD0Q?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FUd4UaGcrYs?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C5Rs5kLN3Y4?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
