Angel Locsin, Maja Salvador in The Legal Wife

I don't have to be in this situation in order to tell that something's wrong with it. If it is wrong, you know you did something wrong and people will perceive you that way.... but you still feel so right. Can loyalty be questioned? Can it be justified? How can it be that way? These guys want to answer that question and let you see in prime time how it is being in THAT situation.

This is JC De Vera's comeback program in ABSCBN. He has crossed over from his stint in TV5 and it doesn't come as good as this since he's starting again; with Maja and Angel on the program he'll really have his hands full. He'll be playing Max Gonzales in this series.

 I've always (liked) LOVED Angel Locsin. Hands down, she's one of the most beautiful actresses in Philippine cinema and showbiz industry. She'll be playing Monica Santiago-de Villa, whom according to some of the recent clips will be pit against situations that would tell her "history repeats itself". She feels she's paying for her Mom's misfortunes in the past and it will be told as the story unfolds on Jericho Rosales's role as Adrian de Villa. He wasn't there when this blogcon happened but you felt he had something to do with the situation that Maja and Angel was in after seeing the trailers.

 Maja Salvador who plays Nicole Esquivel feels that even if she's the other woman in this series, you would still feel something for her. You would still have the chance to relate to her character even if you know she's doing something wrong. No matter what she does, all she wanted to do was love. She gave her all to Jericho Rosales' character and you can't discount the fact that she tried to fight with Angel's feisty role on this series.

 Will you feel the same way if you were in their shoes? Watch this short video below as they tell you a few things about their roles on the series and see if you would still say that its wrong to love this way.

Don't forget to watch The Legal Wife on ABSCBN's Primetime Bida as The Legal Wife goes and replace the highly successful Maria Mercedes. It will show on January 27, 2014.

Jessy Mendiola Stars As Philippine TV's Maria Mercedes!

Jessy Mendiola has one of the most beautiful faces in the entertainment industry. I've seen her a couple of times. Her past projects all have made her who she is in ABSCBN. A gorgeous lass who's been in one or more relationships in the past, she's someone admirable, beautiful, vulnerable, feisty and now she plays someone who's got all that in one character... the iconic Maria Mercedes.

If you were born in the 90's you probably haven't seen the phenomenal Thalia who plated the role of Maria Mercedes back then. Yes, she's the same actress and singer who portrayed Marimar. It was a humongous hit and people were going crazy when some of the case members and Thalia herself went here for a few days to perform and have a concert. That's a long story, but really I can still remember the whole plot because in a nutshell... if you love Thalia in one program, you would probably love her on other ones too.

There were antagonists and love interests on that particular story, but what would it feel like if they were all portrayed by Filipinos? Would it have impact? Would it even match the former show's performance? We wouldn't know. But just by looking at Nikki Gil, Jake Cuenca, Jason Abalos and her... the combination is just frightening. In a good way that is.

They were a little bit nervous when they sat down as they've probably not been able to experience a blog conference (aside from veteran Jake Cuenca of course!). But they've pretty much gotten the hang of it after a while. Jessy is going to play it big this time since she's in the starring role. She definitely has the body for it to begin with. Plus, have you guys heard her sing? Watch this!

As you may have seen, she's hot! She also talked to Thalia and she even gave her blessing to play this role. She's got a past that anyone would probably despise. She's not well off, she works hard everyday to make a living. Then these guys suddenly fall in love with her. Reel or real life with Jake Cuenca too perhaps? Well, for the record... he did categorically admit courting Jessy Mendiola. Who knows what will happen as they will come even MORE close while shooting this series.

And here's a part of the blog con where they also sang the Maria Mercedes song, this one's hilarious!

I really love the short answers of Nikki Gil in playing this part. She says she's so happy that she won't be playing a poor antagonist because this time she'll be wearing expensive clothes and stay in air conditioned rooms most of the time. She's not afraid of people hating her, she laments Pinoys are really smart viewers already and they can decipher real from reel. When asked about Billy Crawford, she thanked everyone because of giving her the time and space she needed to recover. It was hard but she assures her fans that she has definitely moved on already.

Jason Abalos is already happy and still in love. Although he's with someone non showbiz, he won't trade it with anything else in this world. I know that might have broken some hearts in the process but ladies, he's already taken.

For what it's worth, this project is definitely something to watch out for. Let's all take time out from our busy day and take a moment to see if Jessy portrays Maria Mercedes like what she was in the Spanish telenovela. Let's also see how they would make this a more Filipino version and what changes they have to make to get you hooked on ABSCBN. Congratulations to the cast, crew and to the Director! I hope your show racks up ratings as what ABS CBN can only deliver!

It will be shown soon so mark that on your calendars. You'll see more clips to love her on the Kapamilya network on when this will happen. Make sure you do!
