Latin superstars heat up ABS-CBN's Hapontastic

MANILA, Philippines – Meet Maria de Jesus who captivated the hearts of Latin America and the US in ABS-CBN’s newest Mexicanovela premiering tomorrow, July 6 and find out how she faces life after being a rape victim.

The most watched Mexican TV series to date, Maria de Jesus features two of the hottest and most sought after Mexican superstars today— newest Thalia, Maite Perroni, and so called Brad Pitt of Mexico, William Levy.

Maite is a famous singer-actress in Mexico who recently topped People en Espanil Top 50 list. Cuban hunk William, on the other hand, started out as a model before hitting the TV screens. His acting stint as Juan Miguel was his first lead role where he won the Best New Actor award in 2008.

Follow the story of Maria or Marichuy, a naughty young lady who plays modern-day Robin Hood by stealing goods for the benefit of the poor. Her mischievous generosity caused her trouble one day and landed her in court, where the judge wishes to send her to jail. This is where she crosses paths with doctor Juan Miguel who came to her rescue.

Marichuy was released but must remain in the handsome widower’s custody. Thus, from her humble orphanage, she must move in to a classy mansion with Juan Miguel’s daughter and mother-in-law.

The two grew closer as they live under one roof. Not only did they find a new friend, but they also found love in each other.

How can Juan Miguel show how he truly feels when Marichuy pushes him away? Little did he know that Marichuy was a rape victim and so afraid to open her heart to anyone.

Maria De Jesus airs after Precious Hearts Romances.
