Marimar Philippine TV Series 02The pilot begins with a scene on a boat where Lupita (Rita Avila) gives birth to a baby girl, MariMar, or Maria del Mar � a fitting name, she said, for one who had been born at sea.

Silva�s husband however didn�t like the idea of having to care for another person who is as poor as them, especially one who has an infant. Additional mouths to feed are an added burden. So Lupita, feeling unwanted left for her.

Just then, Gustavo (Jestoni Alarcon) finds her and brings her back to his family. By this time, Gustavo had firmly warned his mother that should Lupita run away again because of her distaste for Lupita�s poverty, he will leave his parents� home and never to return again. At first, all was well with Dolores pretending to love Lupita; asking for forgiveness; even making it seem that she dotes on the newborn Marimar. However she was already hatching up a plan to get rid of her poor daughter-in-law for good.

One night, when Gustavo had to go attend to some errands in their hacienda, she gives Lupita a glass of milk, on the pretense that this will be good for her, caring for her infant daughter. Once the sedative took effect on the unsuspecting Lupita, Dolores set her up with an accomplice and makes it seem that Lupita had left Gustavo for another man. Gustavo and Dolores then find Lupita in a small hut, sleeping with another man. In his rage, Gustavo sends Lupita and his daughter away.

Lupita goes back to her own home, the one she grew up in. Being alone in life, and having had parents who passed away early, she and her daughter make the old hut their new home and make a living selling rice cakes and sweets.
