Be mesmerized by the newest Primetime Bida T V series of ABS-CBN entitled “The Princess and I” that will be seen on your T V screen on Monday (April 16) with a full house cast of  Albert Martinez, Gretchen Barreto, Dominic Ochoa, Enrique Gil, Khalil Ramos, Daniel Padilla, Precious Lara Quigaman and Kathryn Bernardo.

Explore the majestic country of Bhutan where a big portion of this T V series was taken and shot. It took the whole cast and the production team almost two weeks in Bhutan to shoot just a portion of this T V series where they all experienced the beauty and the mysticism of this country. It was here where this fairytale drama unfolds where King Anand (Albert Martinez) and his daughter princess (Katryn Bernardo) will separate ways by a tragic event that will forever change their lives. 

During the press conference of the T V series “The Princess and I”, the cast including the two directors; Francis Pasion and Dado Lumibao were asked why they chose the country of Bhutan in shooting this T V series and not other countries out there. They replied that it was the decision of the ABS-CBN creative team to shoot this T V series in Bhutan following the instruction from Mr. Lopez who had been in Bhutan and fell in love with that country. And because of that trip, Mr. Lopez mentioned that country to his staff telling them….why don’t you make a story  about this beautiful country…….and so it was, the T V series “The Princess and I” was born out from the meticulous minds of the ABS-CBN creative team.

In their two weeks stay in Bhutan, Katryn Bernardo, who is now considered as the new princess of Primetime Bida, came to know better her co-stars and bonded with them especially Enrique Gil who is one of her leading man in the said T V series….making an easyness for her to work comfortably with them.

Be there when it happens on April 16 (Monday) on your T V screen in ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida. For more updates, log on to www.abs-cbn.com

“KUNG AKO’Y IIWAN MO” TV SERIES (WILL BE SEEN ON APRIL 16 ON YOUR T V SCREEN)

Watch out for the newest and one of the most emotionally-filled drama series ABS-CBN has ever produced as of the present time….entitled “KUNG AKO’Y IIWAN MO” that will be seen on your T V screen on April 16 nationwide and on the TFC channel. This is one of a kind T V drama series that many Filipinos will surely relate to in terms of their personal lives…..as this story talks about a family whose father became an Overseas Filipino Worker, who left his loved ones in the Philippines to earn a decent living to sustain his family and to put his children in school….not minding the hardships, the loneliness that besets him...being far from his loved ones…..leaving his children at a very young age where his presence is needed the most. And what worse could it get that the father who labored so much to feed his family….will come back to his family in a coffin...as a dead person. What a tragic event this is in the life of an OFW family that many Filipino families identified themselves with…for they, themselves have a family working abroad and went through the same fate exactly as the story in this T V drama series “KUNG AKO’Y IIWAN MO” tells us.

This T V drama story focuses on the love story of a second generation of an OFW family whose children were influenced by their own parents working abroad. In this teleserye you will see how Sarah, whose role is being played by Shaina Magdayao, who will do everything for love….to the point of swallowing her pride, and putting her reputation and self-respect on the line. Sharing with the same sentiment…is Mia, whose role is being played by Bangs Garcia, who is also from an OFW family, who is willing to sacrifice everything to win back the favor of his beloved Paul, whose role is being played by Jake Cuenca.

This newest Kapamilya Gold series is a gift of ABS-CBN to its viewers in celebrating its first year anniversary of Kapamilya Gold.

In this story, the T V audience will see a different Shaina Magdayao, Bangs Garcia and Jake Cuenca not only because of the mature role they played in this TV series, but more importantly by the way they act in a manner that only a mature or a veteran artist can do.  

Lastly, this drama series does not dissuade or persuade a Filipino from going abroad, but rather admonishing every Filipino to take all the necessary precautions in working abroad for their own safety and for their families that will be left behind.
