Martha Cecilia's Kristine is a 2010 Filipino romance-drama primetime television series produced and aired by ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation. from August 16, 2010 to February 11, 2011. It is based on 54 books of the pocketbook the Kristine Series, by Martha Cecilia. The series is the 12th installment of Precious Hearts Romances Presents series and is the first adaptation to be on a primetime slot.
The series is about two rival families—the Fortalejos and the De Silvas— two sisters of the Fortalejo family unexpectedly fall in love with a De Silva.
It was also the official offering of the celebration of 60 Years of Philippine Soap Operas.
Right before the big feud between the Fortalejo and De Silva families, Alicia De Silva was deeply in love with Don Leon Fortalejo. Don Leon, already married to Kristine Esmeralda Lopez-Fortalejo, refused to be with her until one night when Alicia sneaked in his bedroom. That mistake lead to being pregnant and Ernesto De Silva (Alicia's father) calling it "disgracing the family". Since Alicia lied about Romano Fortalejo (Don Leon's favorite child) being the father of her child, the two business partners, Don Leon and Ernesto arranged a marriage for their children. Romano and Ana Marie Soriano, being in love together, escaped to live their own lives while leaving Alicia at the altar on the day of their marriage. This enraged Ernesto to a fight causing his life and Don Leon's left arm. Alfon De Silva seeking for revenge raped and killed Esmeralda. Due to the pain of losing his wife, Don Leon announced the feud and disowning Romano.
Years later, Romano and Ana bore two children, Kristine Emerald Fortalejo and Kristine Jewel Fortalejo (not knowing of the feud). Romano died leaving a lot of hospital bills. A penny away to being poor, Ana told the whole story about their background telling her children to never take the inheritance left by Esmeralda. Emerald, not listening drove to Villa Kristine to receive the inheritance but accidentally drove to the Hacienda De Silva. There she met Marco De Silva who kidnapped her but later fell deeply in love with each other.
