Fans of My Faithful Husband are put to a test as they decide who to vouch for, Emman + Mel or Dean + Mel? Of course, along with that question is also the principle between faithfulness and betrayal.
These two tandems are surprisingly a hit to Kapuso televiewers. Thanks to the masterpiece yet again of Suzzette Doctolero, realistic storylines are presented on the table every weeknight.
So as Mel gets to this confused phase, we suggest the OST... Sana Dalawa Ang Puso Ko.
Here's our own version of it:
As GMA News TV released its lineup of upcoming shows this year, Ilustrado is one of the most promising.
Following the success of Katipunan and Titser which aired weekly on GMA News TV, the network is again releasing another docu-drama which is not just slated to be a weekly show but daily. Yes, you have read it right! And it's not going to be on GMA Network's news channel. It's going to be on GMA 7 itself. Take note: primetime!
What's in it for the viewers?
For Kapuso viewers, this means that their nightly viewing habit will have some transformation. It's a fact that GMA News & Public Affairs department has proven that they can produce better quality in terms of executing a drama show. And now that GMA Drama has been dwindling in terms of ratings, it may have been an executive decision to provide a rescue team in the guise of GMA News & Public Affairs.
This will also pose a good competition to the Entertainment Department (GMA Drama) of the network which hopefully will up their game. Like it or not, the ratings of GMA Telebabad these days are down and walking (otherwise up and running).
To give you a better idea of what Ilustrado will be about, here's an excerpt of their official update.
There's no update yet as to who's playing Jose Rizal but fans are requesting to give the role to Dennis Trillo.
From PinoyExchange.com, an update was posted as well showing the involved parties brainstorming for the docu-drama soon to hit GMA Telebabad this 2014.
Watch out for updates of this promising historical docu-drama here on The Showbiz Outsider.
Tonight, a first on Philippine TV is airing its pilot episode. My Husband's Lover, a case of adultery committed by Lally's husband not with another woman but with a man.
Written by the infamous writer on GMA block Suzette Doctolero, My Husband's Lover stars Carla Abellana as Lally married to the character played by new recruit Tom Rodriguez. The 'kabit' is no other than Dennis Trillo.
While we agree that it's different as to what people behind it say, we also think that the viewing public ought to know that this is not at all a different story of almost every housewife's struggle. In fact, it's just the same at some point.
So the real challenge of the soap opera's team is not to show a different twist and a different concept. The real challenge is on how to make viewers intelligently realize that after all, there's only black and white and no gray area. That any type of unfaithfulness, be it committed with the opposite or same sex, is still unfaithfulness at the end of the day.
True, to most women, it will hurt more if it's the case of Lally's husband. Less hurting than what Marian Rivera's character experienced in Temptation of Wife. But again, both shows have a common denominator--sin in the form of adultery.
Sin comes in different forms. No such thing as smaller or bigger sin. Whatever form it has, it's sin. This is the challenge of the show... Not just to show that love is love no matter what form. But more than anything, to show that sin is sin no matter what form. That unfaithfulness is adultery no matter who's involved.
As this message gets out through the soap opera, here's hoping that it will create the same realization that Temptation of Wife presented when it ended... That adultery is and can never be dignified no matter what. True, their stories are worth hearing but never to be justified.
God bless the team of this show. Hoping that the show will not succumb to the demands of money to show gay scenes that may not be necessary in the story. Ms. Suzette Doctolero is better than that.
His recent tweets have been about RH Bill. No mention of a new season in his life, a new chapter, or anything that leads to a thought of transferring to a new network. Rafael Rosell, one of Star Magic's priced possessions, is slated to take on a new path in his life, a change of network.
And while everyone else is waiting for that big interview about his transfer, we've decided to share his views on the recent political fuss--the RH BILL and how he shares the same feeling with blogger andreadvon this matter. Here's the blog that Rafael Rosell tweeted about and how it "resonates" with his opinion as well.
{We would like to make it clear that we are in no way expressing our side on this matter. We are just gathering opinions from celebrities about it and should you know of one who's against it, please let us know and we're very much willing to post their opinions too.}
RH Bill: Pros and Cons
Okay so I'm done with the definition and the history of the RH Bill,
I've also discussed where it stands now with the current Aquino
administration but I feel that I need to elaborate the implications that
the bill comes with. So far there are 14 guiding principles that serve
as the framework of the RH Bill, if I put all of that in here I will be
wasting both your time and mine since I know you won't be reading it. So
instead of enumerating each of the bill's principles, I decided to
weigh in its pros and cons so in that way, it is interesting and
stimulating at the same time!
I have to be honest, I had a pretty hard time being objective with this
one since as you may have guessed by now, I am definitely pro-RH Bill
but nevertheless here is what I have so far:
PROS
1. It gives a person freedom to choose whatever he wants
2. It is 100% pro-chance
3. It will greatly contribute to the prevention of HIV and Aids
4. It will help control the country's booming population
5. It will increase awareness regarding responsible parenthood
6. It will secure and promote both women's and children's rights
7. It will provide health care services for the poor and the marginalized
8. It will provide adolescents enough information about all the dangers of engaging in pre-marital sex
9. …and hopefully this will decrease the number of unwanted pregnancies that leads to abortion
CONS
1. It grants easier access to contraceptives even for adolescents
2. It will definitely increase the percentage of couples engaging in pre-marital sex
So this is basically it. This is all that I can think of. I told you I
would have a hard time enumerating the different disadvantages of the RH
Bill because I can only think of few (By few, I literally mean two).
This does not make me a bad Catholic or anti-life but this makes me
realistic. Hello people! You need to open your eyes and realize that we
need to do something to control the rapid increase of our population. I
know that it does go against the will of our Father but think about it,
the entire country is suffering because of other people’s lack of
knowledge about these certain things.
You may think I am being mean or something but I get irritated whenever I
see couples crying on national television, complaining that they do not
have enough money to support their ten kids. Then after which the wife
will say, “sana tulungan po kami ng panginoong Diyos.” Well then, they
should have thought about that before deciding to have so many children.
God is there to guide us all the way but it is still up to us to make
our own decisions in life. These people (the poor and the marginalized)
need the RH Bill to further broaden their knowledge regarding
responsible parenthood and sex in general. People would often joke about
these kinds of situations and say “wala kasi silang magawa kaya
nagaanak nalang sila.” That is not a valid excuse! We do our part in the
society now it is time for them to do the same thing. ★
Rosell surely received various reactions from his followers when he tweeted this. But just like any other ordinary person, he too has his own opinion and he is, like the cliche goes, entitled to his own. To each his own as they say.
On the other hand, the showbiz world is definitely looking out for him, waiting for that appearance to finally announce his new path. Is this final? PEP.ph reported that he's doing a short role in Aso Ni San Roque and after that a major role alongside Marian Rivera in the Pinoy remake of Temptation Of Wife with Dennis Trillo and Alessandra De Rossi. If this materializes, this primetime soap will surely capture a wide viewership given the acting prowess of the Trillo, De Rossi, and Rosell along with the primetime dominance of Rivera.
Is Rafael Rosell really becoming a Kapuso? Or is it another "Diether Ocampo" stunt? One thing is certain, he's for RH Bill. We wonder who else are and otherwise.
News has it that Marian Rivera alongside Dennis Trillo have been chosen to be lead cast in the Filipino remake of Korean drama Temptation Of Wife. Will it tempt viewers to watch it or otherwise?
In a PEP Alert released yesterday, it was announced that GMA Network Entertainment Department is planning to showcase another Koreanovela remake this year after Coffee Prince remake has been announced days ago. It can be remembered that Temptation Of Wife garnered very high ratings when it was shown in the afternoon slot. After months, it was replayed and surprisingly hit the primetime slot. Despite the fact that it was a replay, it still garnered remarkable ratings.
A simple but complex story of romance, friendship and betrayal. Simple because it revolves around three major characters--the lead actress as wife, the lead actor as husband, and the supporting actress as mistress and bestfriend. Complex because as her husband chooses to kill her, she manages to survive and come back as the lookalike but in reality she was still the wife.
Watch the old trailer of Temptation Of Wife
Will Marian Rivera be able to portray the subtly angry and bitter character of the wife? Will their team up as partners avenging each other be a good recipe in primetime viewing?
From the comments at pep.ph, people seem to have different opinions not only about the show but also about the cast.
We question… Will this be a good follow-up for both Marian Rivera and Dennis Trillo as they return in Kapuso primetime?
