A Realistic and Endearing Family Drama: MISIS PIGGY on iWantTFC

Got to watch MISIS PIGGY a few days ago. This was during the press screening which happened over the weekend. This is first and foremost a family story, albeit somewhat dysfunctional because of their separation (Marivic and Rupert played by Ms. Sylvia Sanchez and Ricky Davao), you can still feel how the love for each other surfaces when they need it.

If you were in the shoes of Lani, Steffi and Jeffrey (played by Ria Atayde, Iana Bernardez and Elijah Canlas), you would be hungry for a Father's love but have to remain understanding because your folks relationship didn't really end well. It wouldn't be a easy to balance when and where your Dad would become present if you had special occasions and this is where you'll look like you have to balance things so as not to hurt your Mom who's been with you for a long time and your Dad who just came into the picture. Ria Atayde tries to reason out as Lani but it will eventually fall on deaf ears with Marivic (her real life Mom Ms. Sylvia). I am really excited to see how their dynamics would eventually pan out as they started leaving their Mom's house after interacting with their Dad during the graduation of Jeffrey. I like the sub plots too which BL lovers would adore, plus the whole drama scenes with Lani and her Dad Rupert at the swimming pool which you should look forward to.

Ria was supported by good friends Kyle Echarri and Darren Espanto

 

The advanced screening only had us watch about 2 episodes and I wouldn't want to spoil things, but honestly Ms. Sylvia Sanchez is a given, but this would be a huge opportunity for Ria Atayde, Iana Bernardez and Elijah Canlas to showcase their acting prowess. The first few episodes have proven they are at par, or gave even more what the role asked for.  Go watch it on iWantTFC today because you'll be touched by the story. You can download the app now on Google Play or App Store, or just watch it on their website.

Congratulations to everyone who is a part of this series, can't wait for the next few episodes. I'm sure it'll be good!

RATED KORINA Teases Season 2

We miss her dearly, and her stories, but she's not about to let out soon as Ms. Korina Sanchez-Roxas takes you on another season of RATED KORINA. She took a month long break but recently, she teased us with a fun, fresher theme for their second season on Facebook.

Obviously, you could see how excited she is and remarks how she misses us, and wants to tell more stories. Thing is, you will be able to watch the show on SATURDAY and SUNDAYS starting June 19, 2021 and the weekends thereafter. RATED KORINA will be shown on primetime via A2Z (Saturday 6-7PM), on TV5 (Sundays at 10-11PM), at the Kapamilya Channel (Saturday 10-11PM) and on OnePH on Sundays 7-8PM. It will also be seen internationally via ABS-CBN's international channels through TFC and on digital via iWantTFC.

The show will be featuring more of the country's hottest trending issues, discussing most of it with the Filipino viewer in mind in story formats that touches the hearts of many. Donning a fitter figure, she continues to travel across the country with the whole RATED KORINA team to search for touching and inspirational stories that you would enjoy in a full hour.

 

 

Ms. Korina says "I guess the short respite was a good time to reassess things and look at it with fresh eyes. We streamlined our production process and made it to get in touch with the pulse of the people and find stories that are fresh, relevant in these times. We can't stay in cookie cutter ideas, I've got a team that's more adventurous, and attuned to trends."

Episodes this week include an in depth look on pageantry and how we've become a force to reckon with in the international arena. They'll also take a few shots on several local pageants and talk with recent queens who made a mark for the country.

 

 

It's also Jose Rizal's 160th birthday, so a tell all of his life, a showcase of artifacts and mementos will also be featured. Stories will be sourced from scholars, and museums from different places in the Philippines. Aside from that, they'll be featuring cities that have begun opening up their doors to tourism and let us see world class spots that people should look forward to visiting once things go normal this side of the world. Of course, you'll be front and center to Handog Tsinelas efforts and food relief campaigns that RATED KORINA will continue, definitely.

This show RATED KORINA is produced by Brightlight Productions under the Benitez group.
