Maricel’s new medium

MANILA, Philippines - From TV, movies to books, Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan now ventures into an entirely new medium — radio. The actress-author now hosts ABS-CBN Foundation’s Sunday family-oriented radio program Kapamilya Konek. With a Master’s degree in Family Life and Child Development from the University of the Philippines, a wife to businessman-host Anthony Pangilinan and mother to Ella, Donny, Hannah, Benjamin and Solana, Maricel is the perfect anchor for the show as she brings to the table not only theories and principles but actual hands-on experience. 

The weekly topics allow her to give her personal take on family issues and offer advice to fellow moms who are tuned in to DZMM 630 khz on local radio and through DZMM teleradyo and TFC for listeners from overseas. Kapamilya Konek links the Filipino families with experts, agencies and institutions that can help provide resources and expertise. Kapamilya Konek airs Sundays, from 5 to 6 p.m.
