“We must not be impulsive in serious things like having a family; we must be prepared for it.” according to Angel.

This Saturday, Tol’s (Binoe) niece, Karen, will pay him a visit with her pregnant dog. She will seek advice from Tol, Justin (Vhong) and Isabel (Angel) about the dog’s pregnancy and Lady G (Pokwang) and Tatay Mac (Al Tantay) will overhear it. Lady G will think that Karen is pregnant, while Tatay Mac will think that it’s his daughter, Isabel.

But more than ‘liking’ the episode, Jane stressed that hopefully through their episode, TV viewers got to learn important lessons. “We hope that Nene’s story served as an eye-opener for all of us–that drugs will not result to anything good and that despite all the hardships, we should not lose hope and our faith in God,” she said.

Together with Jane and Angel in the “MMK” episode were Carlos Morales, RS Francisco, Vangie Labalan, Ana Abad Santos, Archie Alemania, Gerald Madrid, Jacko Benin, Kyline Alcantara, Liz Alindogan, Jesette Prospero, Minco Fabregas, and Elaine Quemuel.
