As the season progresses, the beloved No. 1 love team shares their insights on “Filipino Tonight,” and the ailing Lolo discovers the benefits of free healthcare in Canada. Humor and spirituality blend as Ghost Perla guides a new soul, and a politician experiences a transformative moment with a Filipino cleaning lady.

The installment concludes with Miss Cheryl Hill instructing aspiring Teleserye actors. Meanwhile, an expectant couple learns the importance of Filipino nicknames as they choose a name for their baby, highlighting the rich heritage and vibrant storytelling woven throughout the season.
In the fourth installment, viewers can expect new adventures and challenges as characters navigate their lives through their immigrant experiences.
