Galema: Anak ni Zuma began with Galela (Sheryl Cruz), who was raped by Zuma (Derick Hubalde), which resulted in Galema's (Andi Eigenmann) birth. Galela was led to believe that the infant was dead, but her sister Isabel (Sunshine Cruz) had decided to take Galema in as her own.
Galema is able to live a relatively normal, if sheltered, life under her aunt's care, disguising the twin snakes attached to her neck in fake braids. When she comes of age, she is recruited by the military to help them defeat Zuma. Any hope that she has of connecting with her birth mother seems to be crushed when Galela says that she never would have accepted Zuma's child if it had survived.
But despite her mental isolation, she finds a friend in one of her classmates, Morgan (Matteo Guidicelli). After much pining and a rocky beginning to their romance, Morgan proposes to Galema, and she accepts. Gina (Meg Imperial), Galema's cousin and adoptive sister, tries to seduce Morgan one night before the wedding. But, Morgan remains loyal to his future bride and rebuffs Gina's advances.
Morgan and Galema's wedding is interrupted by Galema's half-brother Dean (Kit Thompson), another child of Zuma, and Zuma himself, go to the wedding to get Galema's twin snakes, because he thinks that he will become fully human if he gets Galema's snakes, unaware that he is just another pawn in Zuma's game. In the ensuing battle, Galema's twin snakes are revealed to Galela, revealing her survival to her biological mother. Despite Galela's treatment of her, Galema, longing for her mother's acceptance, does anything her mother wants, including leaving the house.
Galema soon learns that she's pregnant. The impending arrival of her and Morgan's child helps bring Galema and Galela closer. The doctor says that the fetus has a mysterious long creature surrounding the baby's neck. Galema gives birth to a baby boy and a female snake, whom she names Ethan and Sophia, respectively. Morgan loves Ethan but struggles to accept Sophia as his daughter.
Meanwhile, Gina becomes engaged to Joseph (Bodie Cruz). At the engagement party held in Galema and Ethan's house, Joseph encounters Sophia, unaware that she is Galema's child. Believing that the snake is venomous, he lashes out and Sophia fatally bites him to defend herself. Gina, grief-stricken, tries to kill Sophia and to burn her.
Galela is slowly accepting Galema in her life. But, Zuma's poison in her body prevailed, and she becomes Galema's biggest enemy.
At the end, Galema defeats Zuma (but not kill him because Zuma can't die), by putting all her poison in Zuma's body before returning it to him (she managed to behead Zuma in the past). After that, Galema still needs to face her mom. Galela swallows Galema, until Galema can't breathe in her stomach. But, Galela's love for her child Galema prevails. She stabs herself to free Galema, dying from the blood loss
An amulet can make Galema a normal person. However, she gives it Sophia.
Years later, Galema and Morgan's children grow up. At the swimming pool, Zuma appears to get Ethan (Lance Lucido), but before that, Galema shows up and challenges Zuma for a fight.
