 "Like Mother, Like Daughters," begins when Susan (Gloria Diaz), a mother neck-deep in debt, becomes desperate in looking for rich husbands for her daughters Arlene (Isabel) and Cherry Pie (Julia). The only thing they have is a mansion left to them by Susan s deceased husband. Problems arise when Susan s stepsons Ivan (Paolo) and Mike (Alfred) who both live in America, want the mansion back to them. Susan wants one of her daughters to charm Ivan, who is the first to arrive from the States, but Arlene turns unwilling while Cherry Pie readily agrees. Cherry Pie then tries to attract Ivan but to no avail. What Susan doesn t know is that Arlene has already charmed Ivan when they meet at the coffee shop where Arlene works. However, both do not know each other s identity. Desperate in also keeping the mansion, the meddling mom makes Ivan a love potion to get him interested in Cherry Pie. Will Susan s plan be successful? Mike, meanwhile, is a no-nonsense businessman who flies back home and forces Susan and her daughters to leave the mansion but Susan begs him to let the ladies stay in the mansion even if they will work as house helps. When Mike comes across Arlene, he dislikes her right away. Now that Mike and Arlene get to spend more time together in the house, will he admit to himself that he is falling for her? But Arlene has already set her eyes on Ivan and Ivan s love is her not Chery Pie. Will the love potion keep them from being with their true love?
