Wildflower (TV series)

Directed by Onat A. Diaz, Raymund B. Ocampo, Cathy O. Camarillo, Digo Ricio, Jerome C. Pobocan and Roderick P. Lindayag, it stars Maja Salvador.

The story follows Lily Cruz, a beautiful heiress who wants justice for her father Dante's death and her mother Camia's assault and resulting insanity, by seeking revenge against the evil Ardiente family, a powerful political dynasty in the fictional province that bears their name.

Ivy then instigates the removal of Julio Ardiente from office, weakens his hold on the province and then robs him of the only person he loves, his grandson, Arnaldo.

In the mental asylum, Emilia is haunted by the evil ghosts of Helena and Arnaldo who exhort her to kill Diego and Lily to avenge their deaths.

Lily undermines Emilia's ascent into power when she notifies the syndicate leader that Julio Ardiente had ordered the "Red Dragon"'s murder.

Lily orchestrates a leak, instructing Jepoy and Ana to contact local media about the mass grave and stir up the citizens of Poblacion Ardiente to do the same.

The media frenzy covering the atrocities committed by the Ardientes embolden whistleblowers and other victims to speak up, including former accomplices and political supporters like Natalie, ex-bodyguards, former assassins, and Judge Lustre.

With solid evidence and witnesses no longer afraid to speak out, the people of Ardiente file cases of multiple murders, frustrated homicides, Estafa, plunder charges that would send them to prison for a long time, but Julio and Emilia escape capture.

The story ends with an epilogue showing Venus (Helena Montoya's adopted daughter) torturing Julio to death with a blowtorch and subjecting him to human experimentation and Lily's successful senatorial and presidential ambition, commemorating the struggles she faced that makes her stronger through the years.

Wildflower was originally planned to replace the long running drama Doble Kara as part of Kapamilya Gold afternoon block.
