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).

Honoring all Mothers our there, Jollibee, the Pinoy pride in food chain industry, brings another story on their #KwentongJollibee series. A mother's nurturing love for their children.

“There are many types of love in this world - one we share with friends, relatives, and significant others. But we know that it is the love that we receive from our mothers that make us feel more confident to embrace ourselves,” said Francis Flores, Jollibee Global Brand Chief Marketing Officer and PH Marketing Head.

For a child, there is no greater gift in life than having a mother who is there by their side and cheer them on as they grow up. “This Mother’s Day, we want to showcase the unique bond that a mother and child have and how this encourages the child to love themselves and live their life with a purpose no matter their personal condition,” adds Flores.

As the guiding light of every Filipino household, mothers play an inspiring figure in the life of each member of the family.

AlDub is out, ArDub is in. The question of compatibility goes on. Is there really a chemistry between these two actors, Arjo Atayde and Maine Mendoza, who crossed the borders of their rival home TV Networks?

From two different TV station, the Kapuso and the Kapamilya, these two actors was able to find a string that pulled them both together. The string called love.

Love conquers all and the struggle of finding true love is real. From friends to exclusively dating. These two are the content of most social media platforms. Of course, them, dating is something different for an avid AlDub fan. Some are still in denial that Maine is dating other than Alden. There are some also who happens to hope for a love team comeback. And there are other fans who saught happiness for Maine Mendoza. Great for Maine!

As for the side of Maine, well she's really putting up and telling through her post to give respect to them and to the family.

As for Arjo Atayde, well it's a family affair. Family members are in full support of Arjo pursuing Maine. Also in full support in replying to all bashers, most especially Ms Sylvia Sanchez who is most likely willing to see face to face all Arjo bashers.

Well, you can really tell that Arjo is with pure intention. Mostly in his social media posts are all directing to someone that maintly atttcy likshows that he's attention points to the direction of Maine expressing how he feels. It's oerhaps Arjo's Maine reason for being happy.

So, is AlDub gone or a new name just come up, ArDub or ArMaine.

Have you a seen a mermaid? Well, this story has been a talk since it was foretold long before and there are different stories about it. We have long been entranced by the idea of these mermaids, from the sailors and fishermen of old to modern-day enthusiasts. In 2018, to the delight of fans everywhere, the producers of Siren declared March 29 as International Mermaid Day! Clearly, people remain fascinated by the very idea that they exist but, as with all fairy tales, there is a much darker story that goes farther back.

The age-old story of human-mermaid interaction is retold in Siren, which takes place in a coastal town called Bristol Cove. According to its lore, it was once home to mermaids and strange newcomer named Ryn triggers a series of events. Befriending marine biologist Ben and girlfriend Maddie, Ryn and her brethren turn the sleepy neighbourhood on its head and bring to light jaw-dropping revelations about Ben’s ancestors and the town’s shameful past.

In the second season, tensions flare as the battle between man and sea continues, confirming some of their more sinister aspects:

1. Mermaids are superior in strength and ferocity than humans. Any creature that lives in the depths of the ocean has to be fierce and strong, or they won’t survive. Predatory instincts and tribal loyalty run strong and wild in mermaids as demonstrated by Ryn and her brethren, so it’s no wonder that some of them look at weaker, tail-less humans with disdain.

2. Mermaids are highly intelligent! Many people equate savagery with brainless brutality but this doesn’t apply to mermaids. On the contrary, they are highly intelligent and have the ability to observe, reason and conspire, as Ryn’s sister Donna demonstrated when she escaped from captivity in Season 1. Coupled with their strength and ferocity, this is bad news for anyone who stands in their way.

3. Mermaids are haunting, ethereal and alluring This is one point where popular mythology and modern retellings seem to agree – mermaids are irresistible. Traditionally, the song of the siren drove sailors mad and Ryn has this ability too; it’s a powerful addition to her physical strength.

4. Mermaids are skilled at shape-shifting Taking human form is another common theme when it comes to tales about mermaids, and what better way to hide among humans than in plain sight? However, every transformation comes at a painful, sometimes fatal, price. In spite of this anguish, Ryn seemed determined to stay and defend her human friends. But now, with her sister gone and her presence endangering her friends, where will she go?
As more mermaids come onto land, it’s no longer just a fight between human and mermaids – It has become a survival of the fittest within their own kind. Tune in to Siren season 2 mid-season catch up that will bring you up to date on all that’s happening in Bristol Cove from episode one to five on Sunday, March 3, from 3:30PM on Blue Ant Entertainment available on SKYcable channels 53(SD) and 196(HD), SKYdirect channel 35, Destiny Cable channel 53, and Cablelink channel 37.
