Ex-PBB All In housemate in MMK

MANILA, Philippines - Former Pinoy Big Brother All In housemate Manolo Pedrosa (photo) marks his acting debut on ABS-CBN’s Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) this tonight as he portrays the character of Hiro Mallari, a teenage boy whose life turned upside down when he lost his one true love, Michelle Ann “Mitch” Bonzo, to be played by Janella Salvador, in a tragic accident.

Mitch was one of the seven Bulacan State University students who died after they were swept away in the Madlum River during a school field trip in Bulacan.

“To star in MMK is such a huge blessing for a newcomer like me. Of course, I still have a lot of things to learn in terms of acting but I’ll definitely do my best to give justice to the role, especially since Hiro also inspires others who have lost their loved ones,” said Manolo after his acting workshop.

Also in the cast are Lollie Mara, Pinky Amador, Paul Salas, CJ Navato, Raquel Montessa, Yves Flores and Trina Legaspi.
