Maalaala Mo Kaya: A love story that knows no boundaries

CEBU, Philippines - As part of “Maalaala Mo Kaya’s” (MMK) month-long 20th anniversary celebration, MMK puts the spotlight tonight on a love story that knows no boundaries.

Seasoned actress Rio Locsin will breathe to life the character of ‘Anita,’ a woman who came from a failed relationship, who fell in love with Hideo (Ya Chang), a Japanese man. Hideo, despite being Japanese, is passionate about Filipino culture particularly the Filipino language and music. His son, however, thinks of Filipino women as nothing more than gold-diggers. When Hideo’s son challenges Anita’s love for his father, Anita’s perfect love story goes upside down.

How can a woman prove her love when she is up against her own husband’s son? How can a relationship transcend culture and belief? What will the cost of understanding be?

Written by Maan Dimaculangan and directed by Nuel C. Naval, “Japan” episode also features Desiree del Valle and Neri Naig.

Don’t miss the remaining month-long anniversary episodes of the longest-running, top-rating, and multi-awarded drama anthology of ABS-CBN, “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (MMK), Saturday nights, after “Junior Master Chef Pinoy Edition.”
