An interesting kwento (story) that I will be sharing with you before we strike the first day of the week. Yes, we have some great news to our kapamilya followers as ABS CBN will be airing new shows for the avid fans. It's an afternoon series on the Kapamilya Gold. So, it is called "SANDUGO", which tells about the story of two families gambling on love and principles.

What happens when parents give up their values and principles in order to save their child’s life?

ABS-CBN presents a new, powerful story about two families who are linked by both love and the law, and a disconcerting past marked by poverty and desperation in the afternoon family drama series “Sandugo,” which starts airing on Kapamilya Gold this Monday (September 30).

“Sandugo” features Ejay Falcon and Aljur Abrenica in their starring roles as fraternal twins who will become mortal enemies, with a powerhouse cast composed of Vina Morales, Ariel Rivera, Gardo Versoza, Elisse Joson, Jessy Mendiola, and Cherry Pie Picache.

The new Dreamscape offering revolves around fraternal twins Julius Caesar and Aristotle, fondly called JC and Aris, who have been partners through thick and thin as children.

A regrettable and heartbreaking decision leads to the brothers’ separation.


While JC (Ejay) becomes an NBI agent, Aris lives a life of crime and turns into a syndicate leader.

Brought together again by fate, the two unknowing twins’ new relationship is charged with extreme hostility – going head-to-head from opposing sides of the law without knowledge of each other’s true identities.

“Sandugo” is directed by Darnel Joy R. Villaflor and Ram Tolentino and produced by Dreamscape Entertainment. It also stars Arlene Muhlach, Cogie Domingo, Dido Dela Paz, Jeric Raval, Maika Rivera, Mark Lapid, Nanding Josef, Ali Abinal, Reign Parani, Karina Bautista, Aljon Mendoza, and Ogie Diaz.

Follow a tale of long-lost brothers in “Sandugo” starting Monday (September 30) on ABS-CBN, starting this September 30 (Monday). For updates, follow ABS-CBN PR on Facebook (fb.com/abscbnpr), Twitter (@abscbnpr), and Instagram (@abscbnpr).

The first experience always marks the spot.  Just like in our love lives, the first crush, first kiss, and first love they all linger into our memory.  Of course, it should be because it is the first and for this event in my life, it will surely mark the spot because it's another first time for me.

So why am I saying things about first time well, to be honest, this specific fun run in the BonPen Festival was actually my first ever official run.  My supposedly first was impeded by a typhoon which caused me to stay in and let the chill of dawn lullaby me.  This fun run themed as Takbo at Padyak BonPen Para Sa Kalikasan in Quezon will sure be a memory to keep because aside from my first official run it also got a lot of first in it.  So what are they?  Well, I'll try to list it down so that it will be remembered as well.

• First official 5k run.
• First provincial BonPen Festival 5k run.
• First time to run on a Sandugo Sandals (I hope Sandugo will invite me or make me a model for their great quality sandals.  Hahaha!) and take note it is a 5k run (I could really attest to the durability of Sandugo Sandals).
• First time to actually finish the run and take note it's a 35 minute run time on a Sandugo Sandals (hehehe another endorsement of Sandugo Sandals).

Now, isn't it exciting jotting down all those firsts in one event?  The good news... the Sandugo Sandals is still in one piece and I think it only loses a few millimeters of its thickness.  The bad news... I got body aches and lots of cramps on my legs because of that run.  Perhaps that's the reason why other runners prefer barefoot rather than running on slippers or sandals.  I wonder if I can run barefoot?  Nah! That sandals run is enough experience already.

It's yours truly while making my run. This photo is courtesy of JL Aquino of blog-ph.com

Maybe you were wondering why I run on Sandals during that fun run in BonPen Festival?  Well, I didn't come prepared and I actually don't have any plan on joining the Takbo at Padyak BonPen Para Sa Kalikasan running event but because most of the bloggers are going to run I decided to join as well.  It's a fun run after all.

First times are always remembered and this one will sure be a memory to last.
