Long-running TV drama series “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (MMK) celebrates its 30th anniversary this November with stories of inspiration, hope and love, featuring a lineup of stars that include Enchong Dee, Coco Martin, Jodi Sta. Maria, Anne Curtis, Dimples Romana and Angel Locsin.
Opening the month is the story of Edwin Pranada, played by Dee. Edwin grows up finding value in his mother’s praises for his siblings every time they bring food and money to their family. At first, he tries to earn by collecting garbage. But then Edwin gets tired of waiting and resorts to tricking people and selling drugs. Viewers will see how he will change his habits and become a renowned cosmetic tattooist, giving free services for people suffering from alopecia on Nov. 6.
MMK then re-airs the first team-up of Martin and Sta. Maria on the small screen this Nov.13. Martin plays Ramon, who does underground boxing for a living. But for his wife Mila (Sta. Maria) and his son, he decides to change his job. However, as Ramon tries to find another job, he commits a crime that makes his family hate him. He will realize his mistakes and be a better father and husband to his family.
Throughout her childhood, Marrz (Curtis) knows that she is not like his sisters. Because her father disapproves of her gender, Marrz goes to Hong Kong to find the freedom and independence she dreams of and to help her family. Despite all the judgment from people, Marrz will inspire people to embrace themselves for who they are on Nov. 20.
Viewers can also revisit the 2018 Asian Academy Creative Awards Best Single Drama/Telemovie episode of Locsin and Romana titled “Kotse-Kotsehan. Watch Samina’s (Locsin) point of view on how she found Idai’s (Romana) son, who is perceived to be kidnapped, and how she will prove her innocence to regain her freedom on Nov.27.
