'Pahiram ng Sandali:' A Recap of the First Two Episodes!

For those who missed the first two episodes of GMA's newest primetime drama program "Pahiram ng Sandali," it's time to catch up on its exciting story. The series stars Dingdong Dantes (Alex), Max Collins (Cindy), Christopher de Leon (Philip) and Ms. Lorna Tolentino (Janice) with Alessandra de Rossi (Baby), Mark Gil (Larry), Sandy Andolong (Thea), Neil Ryan Sese (Andrew), Isabel Rivas (Diana), Kristofer Martin (Franz), among others.

Here's a summary of the said episodes:

The story began with a scene in the middle of a hostage crisis.  An exasperated bolo-wielding man threatens to end the life of an elderly woman whom he held hostage out of despair over his marital problems.

Meanwhile, an aspiring journalist named Alex Santiago (Dingdong Dantes) applies as an intern under the tutelage of Romer Alcaraz (Roy Alvarez), a veteran hard news reporter and columnist of the tabloid, "Pinoy Reporter."

As a test, Romer Alcaraz challenges Alex and three other aspirants for the job to go and cover the on-going hostage crisis and come up with a plausible news story.  Whoever gets the best angle to the story gets the job.

Alex accepted the challenge but as soon as he returns to where he had parked his motorcycle, a woman hurried away with it.  He would later learn that the woman's name is Cindy and that she had escaped from her boyfriend who attempted to take advantage of her.  

Even without his motorcycle, Alex still managed to reach the site of the hostage-taking.  In his attempt to get the best viewpoint of the scene, he climbed up the roof of the house where the hostage taker and his hostage were and took a snapshot using his mobile phone through a hole in the roof.  But the structure wasn't strong enough to support his weight and so it caved in and ultimately Alex came crashing down to the floor. He fought with the infuriated hostage taker, and just as he thought he had knocked him down, he received a heavy blow on to his head from the hostage who owned the house. In the end, Alex lost his motorcycle, then his consicousness and, finally, his bid for the job.

Flashback to Alex's childhood.  Alex is an illigitimate child; He grew up not knowing who his real father is, and so he was always a favorite victim of bullies at school.  He was called by his classmates "putok sa buho" which is a derogatory phrase used to mock children who were born out of wedlock.

No longer able to withstand the bullying, Alex engaged in a fistfight with his classmates. The incident dismayed Alex's mom, Thea (Sandy Andolong). Alex demanded that his mom tell him who his father is.  In the end, Thea was left without a choice but to tell him the whole truth: that Alex's father is Larry Gomez (Mark Gil), the managing editor of "The Philippine Examiner," considered the most respected and most influential newspaper in the country.

Thea attempted to introduce Alex to his father but when she brought the boy to him, Larry drove them away.  He even offered them money and when a coin dropped to the ground, he told the boy he could take it as well.  Since then, Alex developed deep hatred against his father.  It worsened when Alex saw how much Larry loved JR, his son with Diana Gomez (Isabel Rivas), the woman who was instrumental in catapulting Larry to his present stature.

Back to present time, Thea married her suitor Berting who turned out to be a batterer.  One day, Berting beat Thea so badly that she had to be rushed to the hospital because of an injury to her spleen.  She needs to undergo a major treatment but she has no financial means to do so.

Meanwhile, Alex found out that a photo of him taken during the hostage taking incident was published in Romer's column. Infuriated, he stormed the columnist in his office.  On his way out of the building, he saw Cindy as the latter was returning his motorcycle.  He confronted Cindy for stealing his motorcycle.  Alex left hugely disappointed and accidentally drops the tabloid he was holding.  Cindy picks it up and reads about the man's misfortunes.  She felt guilty for what she did and began to feel pity for him.

Cindy learns about what had happened to Alex's mom and pleads with her Tito Larry and Tita Diana to provide Thea financial assistance (the couple has a foundation). What she did not know is that Larry is Alex's father.

Thea went through the operation thanks to Cindy's help.  Alex returns the favor by teaching Cindy how to ride a motorcycle.  This is how the two became close and eventually will become lovers.

Alex learns how wealthy Cindy's family is and gets intimidated.  But because he loves Cindy so much, he figured he should strive hard to become rich and give Cindy the kind of life that she deserves. But Cindy came to him one day and told him that they CAN'T be together.

Watch how this story continues to unfold in "Pahiram ng Sandali," airs weekday nights on GMA-7.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Philippine Remake of the Hit Koreanovela 'Coffee Prince' Starring Aljur Abrenica and Kris Bernal Premieres Tonight!

After the heart-breaking end to the love story of Tisoy and Elize in the primetime soap “One True Love” made viewers across the country burst into tears when it ended last Friday, the new series set to replace it is poised to do otherwise.  

The Philippine adaptation of the well-received Korean series, “Coffee Prince,” debuts tonight on GMA’s Telebabad primetime block.  The series stars one of the loveliest love teams on Philippine television -- Aljur Abenica and Kris Bernal.

Aljur plays the role of Arthur Ochoa, a wealthy but easy-go-lucky bachelor who is notorious for being a playboy.  Although he loves to flirt around with just any girl that comes his way, he is actually secretly in love with his half-brother’s ex-girlfriend, Arlene (portrayed by Max Collins).  Meanwhile, Kris Bernal plays the role of Andy, the exact opposite of Arthur.  In her desire to help her family make ends meet, she would take any job just to earn a living.  Somehow, in an interesting twist of fate, she and Arthur would fall for each other.

The Korean version of the series, which previously aired on GMA-7, was well-received by the Filipino audience.  Although not much of how the story goes was changed, the context around which the Filipino adaptation would revolved has been “Filipinized” to make it more relatable to local TV viewers.  Also, an additional character -- that of Steven Silva -- will be introduced.

During the story conference held over a month ago, the show’s director Ricky Davao admitted that while he is excited to work on the show, he couldn’t help but feel nervous especially since the original version was a top-rater.  However, he is confident that the good on-screen chemistry of Aljur and Kris coupled with an ensemble cast can pull it through.

Kris and Aljur, on the other hand, are both excited to be working alongside each other once again.

During the press conference of the show held last week, members of the press noticed the extraordinary closeness of the two.  Asked how special Kris is to him, Aljur’s tongue somehow slipped when he said: “sa lahat ng mga nakapartner ko, sa lahat ng naka-RELASYON ko, ibang-iba talaga si Kris.”  Oops! Does this mean that Aljur and Kris are ready to admit that they became lovers before?  When the media pressed on for Aljur to expound on what he had said, the actor simply smiled and digressed.

“Coffee Prince” airs tonight after “Luna Blanca” on GMA Telebabad.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

'Ina Kapatid Anak' is Another Three-Generation High Caliber Drama Series From ABS-CBN!

The Kapamilya network once more brings us another three-generation high-caliber drama TV series. Starting this Monday night, October 8, 2012 get ready for the premiere of "Ina, Kapatid Anak" in the network's undisputed Primetime Bida. 

"Ina, Kapatid Anak" is actually the third TV series of ABS-CBN where the story interconnects three generations. In 2011, they started the three-generation teleserye via the top-rating  "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin." The first generation was composed of the veteran stars namely Ronaldo Valdez, Dante Rivero, and Boots Anson-Roa. The second generation was comprised of Amy Austria, Tonton Gutierrez, John Estrada, and Lorna Tolentino. And the third or the current generation was completed by the young stars namely Maja Salvador, Andi Eigenmann, Martin Del Rosario, and Coco Martin.

The trend continues this year via the phenomenal hit TV series "Walang Hanggan." Again, the first generation was composed of the veteran stars namely Helen Gamboa, Eddie Gutierrez, and Susan Roces. Then the second generation was put to life by the characters of Richard Gomez, Rita Avila, Eula Valdez, and Dawn Zulueta. And of course, completing the third or the young generation were the characters of Julia Montes, Joem Bascon, Melissa Ricks, Paulo Avelino, and Coco Martin. 

In "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" here are the three generations that will put your night on heavy drama and remarkable lines:

3rd Generation - Kim Chiu and Xian Lim

3rd Generation - Maja Salvador and Enchong Dee

2nd Generation - Cherry Pie Picache, Ariel Rivera, and Janice De Belen

1st Generation - Eddie Gutierrez, Pilar Pilapil, and Ronaldo Valdez

Just like the previous two teleseryes, the story of "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" didn't only focus on the present conflicts but also interrelates and tackles the past twists which explains the current status of the main characters.

The teleserye marks the return of today's four of the  hottest young stars namely Maja Salvador, Enchong Dee, Xian Lim, and Kim Chiu on Primetime. Maja and Kim were reunited after they worked together on "My Binondo Girl." This is also the second TV series of Kim and Xian as a love team after they were introduced as a tandem in the said teleserye. Meanwhile, "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" is Maja and Enchong's very first teleserye as a pair. Enchong's last TV series was "Maria La Del Barrio."

Janice De Belen, Ariel Rivera, and Cherry Pie Picache add twist and spice to the story. Rivalry is not only between the characters of Maja and Kim but also to the characters of Janice and Cherry Pie as they played the roles of half sisters. It seems that Janice and Cherry Pie switch characters in the teleserye since Cherry Pie now plays as a kindhearted mother Theresa after being hated as the wicked Mrs. Sy in "My Binondo Girl" while Janice now portrays as an antagonist after being loved via her kind character as the mother of "Budoy."

The three veteran stars in the first generation namely Eddie Gutierrez, Pilar Pilapil, and Ronaldo Valdez also switch characters: Eddie from a humble character in "Walang Hanggan" to the powerful rich Lucas in "Ina, Kapatid, Anak;" Pilar from a kontrabida wowa in "Agua Bendita" to a kind mother in this teleserye; and Ronaldo from the powerful military leader Sgt. Sebastian Del Tierro in "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" to a poor shoe-shine man in this new Primetime soap.

Just like "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" and "Walang Hanggan," "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" is definitely another promising hit Primetime TV series! It will surely takes the place of "Walang Hanggan" to be the new phenomenal hit TV series since this Coco Martin-Julia Montes teleserye is about to wrap up this month!

So witness the premiere of another three-generation high-caliber TV series tonight as "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" started right after "Walang Hanggan" replacing the recently concluded "Lorenzo's Time." ABS-CBN once more started a new trend in the world of TV series! Two thumbs up Kapamilya! Another exciting TV series to be hooked on!(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)
