Kontrobersiyal na kuwento ng Face to Face, matutunghayan sa Untold Stories ngayong Sabado

Tweet

Marami ang nagulantang sa napanood sa episode ng Face to Face nitong nakaraang Miyerkules (Marso 21) dahil napaka-kontrobersiyal at sensitibong sitwasyon ang natunghayan sa buhay ng isang self-confessed na GRO, si Salve. Mapapanood ang dramatization ng kuwentong ito ngayong Sabado (Marso 24) sa Untold Stories Mula sa Face to Face na mapapanood ng 10:30 ng umaga sa TV5.

Nagsimula ang episode ng Face to Face sa mga problemang sinusuong ni Salve sa pagpatol niya sa mga lalaking may asawa na. Aminado si Salve na marami siyang boyfriends at mayroon din siyang sugar daddy. Ipinakilala sa programa ang sugar daddy ni Salve na si Mang Crisanto, na umaming walong buwan na ang relasyon nila ni Salve at nag “something-something” na silang dalawa.

Sa pagtatanong ng host ng programa na si Amy Perez kay Mang Crisanto tungkol sa mga babae sa kaniyang buhay, sinabi nitong dalawa pa lang ang babaeng nakarelasyon niya, isa dito ay nagngangalang Mina na nabuntis niya sa probinsya pero kinailangan niyang iwanan dahil nalipat siya ng pinagtratrabahuhan.

Sumunod ay lumabas si Aling Mina na ina ni Salve, at dito na lumabas ang katotohanan na ang sugar daddy ng kaniyang anak ay ang tunay na ama nito. Mistulang gumuho ang mundo ni Mang Crisanto sa rebelasyong ito. Wala na siyang nagawa kundi humagulgol dahil sarili niya palang dugo at laman ang babaeng karelasyon niya. “Diring-diri ako sa sarili ko,” aniya.

Maging si Salve ay nanginig sa kaiiyak dahil buong akala niya ay matagal ng patay ang kaniyang ama at ni minsan ay hindi sumagi sa kaniyang isip na may iba pa silang ugnayan ni Mang Crisanto bukod sa pagiging sugar daddy nito sa kaniya.

Sa tulong ng resident Trio Tagapayo ng programa, napayuhan sina Salve, Aling Mina at Mang Crisanto at maayos silang naliwanagan sa maaring kahinatnan ng kanilang sitwasyon. Sa bandang huli, nagpasya si Mang Crisanto na lumayo muna pero nag-iwan siya ng mensahe sa kaniyang anak: “Salve, nandito ako nagmamahal sayo bilang AMA. Patawarin mo ako.”

Sa pagsasadula ng nakaaantig-pusong kuwentong ito sa Untold Stories Mula sa Face to Face ngayong Sabado, gagampanan ni Meg Imperial ang papel ni Salve, kasama sina Gardo Versoza bilang Mang Crisanto at Lotlot De Leon bilang Aling Mina.

TV5 achieves international goal for Nandito Ako

Tweet

What seems to be a simple move for TV5 to boost its popularity in the Philippines turns out to have a bigger objective. By bringing over American Idol sensation David Archuleta to star in its primetime series Nandito Ako, TV5 has been successful in its aim to tap a global market as proven by the tremendous popularity the show has gained in different countries since it premiered last February 20.

Nandito Ako and other Nandito Ako-related phrases and hashtags (i.e., “Oh My Josh Bradley,” “Watch Nandito Ako Marathon,” “David Archuleta in Bunny Suit,” “Run Josh Bradley Run,” “Nandito Ako Week 2,” “David Archuleta is Josh Bradley,” among others) have been consistently figuring every night in Twitter trending topics not only in the Philippines but also worldwide. The show has also ranked high in Twitter trending topics in different countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam as well as in various states in the US. Further, David Archuleta’s first drama venture via Nandito Ako landed on the pages of international newspapers, magazines and online sites.

With TV5’s international expansion through Pilipinas Global Network (PGN), Nandito Ako has proven to be an effective vehicle in attracting potential viewers and supporters worldwide. Due to Nandito Ako’s international popularity, TV5 now has a following of Filipinos overseas as well as non-Filipinos who were initially David Archuleta fans but have learned to love the show and its cast.

The move also paved the way for Filipino artists, particularly home-grown TV5 talents Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Eula Caballero, to be recognized in the international scene.

Now on its third week, Nandito Ako keeps viewers hooked with its relatable and compelling story. In his attempt to find his long lost mother, Josh Bradley (David Archuleta) and Anya (Jasmine Curtis-Smith) end up in a coastal province far from Manila. Here, they are forced to be together all the time despite their mutual dislike. For Josh, it’s the only way for him to find his mother; and for Anya, a fulfilment of the promise she made to her best friend Holly (Eula Caballero). Will the two stand each other’s presence? Or will their mutual dislike brew something sweeter?

Nandito Ako airs weeknights at 9pm after Wil Time Bigtime on TV5.
