After the unprecedented success of the tv series “My Binondo Girl” in ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida of Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador’s PHR presents “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin,” the two real-life best friends will spice up your weeknights once again via their newest teleseries “Ina, Kapatid, Anak,” starting tonight, October 8, 2012, Monday after "Walang Hanggan."

The story’s plot will definitely hit every Filipino’s hearts and lives, since it tackles everything about love, family, friendship and sisterhood. It is also a story of power, rivalry and acceptance. Kim plays the role of Celine, a poor but very optimistic young girl, according to her, “In our teleserye, the audience will learn how to value their families and how to achieve their dreams. I’ve never done a character like Celine who’s so loud and talkative. If in “My Binondo Girl,” I portrayed a sweet and relatively well-off girl; here in ‘Ina Kapatid Anak,’ I am super poor.”

On the other hand, Maja plays Margaux, a rich and glamorous lass who’ll make Celine’s simple life very complicated. Maja shared, “All Margaux’s things are glittery, but eventually the viewers will discover what’s really inside her mind and heart. What’s interesting about our (Kim and Maja) characters is that both Celine and Margaux are born fighters and they do not allow their families to be maltreated by anyone.” Pretty Maja even added that, viewers should watch out if she will be a wicked bida-kontrabida in the story.

We’ll be expecting more confrontation scenes from these on and off cam bffs, isn’t that exciting? It’s as exciting as the two lovely ladies’ love interests, Xian Lim who plays Liam in the story, will be reunited with the “apple” of his eye, Kim Chiu (take note KimXis!); while Enchong Dee who plays Ethan will be paired with Maja Salvador for the first time. Hmmm... really something to look forward to huh! :))

Ina, Kapatid, Anak is relatively based from the movie of same title in 1979 starring the late Charito Solis and Lolita Rodriguez under Regal Films. This tv series is however directed by Don Cuaresma and Jojo Saguin of the fantasy drama, “100 Days to Heaven,” and written by Danica Domingo of “Tayong Dalawa.” Joining the powerhouse cast are highly acclaimed seasoned actors Janice de Belen, Cherry Pie Picache and Ariel Rivera; well respected veteran stars Ronaldo Valdez, Pilar Pilapil and Eddie Gutierrez.

We all come from our own mothers... majority of us have also siblings... and eventually, we’ll be having our own children. “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” is the tv series for everybody. Soon, it will be the “trending topic” of every household. It is a story that everyone can relate to. 

We’re now very familiar with ABS-CBN’s newest offering in Prime-Tanghali, “Be Careful With My Heart” teaser wherein Jodi Sta. Maria (Maya Dela Rosa) plays a “nanny” to Mutya Orquia , youngest daughter of Richard “Papa Chen” Yap (Richard Lim) in the story and Jodi was instructing Mutya to say “I Love You Daddy” to Richard and as he reciprocates the gesture, he embraces his daughter while uttering “I Love You” and purposely looking towards Jodi’s direction and the latter’s “sweet smile” was so effective that it gained tons of “kilig” factors to the viewers.

And with that particular scene alone could lead us into conclusion that, it is a romantic, light drama, comedy and “feel-good” teleseries which can happen in real life huh, believe me, because I’ve known a couple of similar stories happened with one of our relatives who had married their “kasambahay or yaya” and the other instance happened to my grandma’s best friend who has captured her “kuya’s” (employer) heart and then eventually got married too. Hay, truly love knows no boundaries, right peeps? It is indeed amazing!

The stunning Jodi expressed her excitement towards this new project she was quoted as saying “Espesyal sa akin ang “Be Careful...” dahil ito ang unang seryeng bida ako. First time ko din na makakasama si Richard.” She even added, “Natutuwa ako sa role ni Maya at sa mismong istorya kaya tinanggap ko kaagad nung in-offer ito sa akin.” The versatile actress plays a provincial lass who dreams to become a flight stewardess for her to help her family out of poverty.

Jodi further shared that she is quite positive that Maya’s tale will win the hearts of the afternoon viewers because of the “good vibes” that she brings in the story. She’s very assertive that others will be surely inspired by her character as Maya for she’s very optimistic and considers everything can be done and that nothing is impossible.

On the other hand, “Papa Chen” as he is popularly known for his very first appearance in another triumphant teleserye, “My Binondo Girl,” wherein he played Kim Chiu’s father, was equally excited for their new tv series since this would be his first drama where he plays the leading man. He shared, “Widower ako dito na nahirapang palakihin ang mga anak dahil busy din sa negosyo kaya kakailanganin ko ng tulong. It’s more of an unexpected love story. Maraming “kilig” moments na dapat abangan and I’m sure maraming makaka-relate dito.”

The two leading stars of “Be Careful With My Heart” were asked to describe each other during the newest tv series’ presscon held at Dolphy theater, “Papa Chen” said, “I’ve seen that she’s a very intelligent and very strong woman, we have a lot of things in common din kaya nagkakaintindihan kami, and she’s a very fine actress so, I admire her a lot for all these things that she has accomplished as an actress and a person as well.”

Jodi’s reply was, “Hindi mahirap pakisamahan si Richard, and nakikita ko rin naman sa kanya ‘yung willingness n’ya matuto sa work, ‘yung pagmamahal n’ya sa ...kumbaga new found love n’ya ‘tong trabaho na ‘to eh, ‘yung professionalism nandoon sa kanya tsaka, para kaming partners nito eh pagka kunwari sa mga promos, or kahit sa isang eksena pinag-uusapan namin kung anong gagawin namin, kumbaga nag-aalalayan kami.”
