He even established a hospital in memory of his mother. He met his wife and brought her to his island. Unfortunately, his wife succumbed to cancer.</div><div><br/></div><div>Heartbroken, Manuel entrusted his hospital to Henry (played by Arron Villaflor) and decided to stay on the island where he met Lena (played by Yen Santos).</div><div><br/></div><div>At first, Manuel was irritated at Lena’s talkativeness but because she got stranded in the island, he was forced to live with her.</div><div><br/></div><div>Manuel and Lena’s relationship did not go well as they kept on arguing until Lena got to leave the island. </div><div><br/></div><div>One morning while Manuel was buying his supplies at the market, he encountered a woman who fainted.
