Julia Montes Plays Underage Prostitute in MMK this March 9

Before her highly anticipated grand debut celebration this month, Kapamilya teen actress Julia Montes will give viewers an early birthday treat via her upcoming “Maalaala Mo Kaya” episode, where she will portray the role of Diana, a 15-year-old dancer-prostitute.

“When I learned that I’ve got a new ‘MMK’ project, I wanted to start taping immediately. Then when I knew about the story, I got more excited to do it because it’s a chance to show the TV viewers a different side of me,” said Julia. “At first, I wondered how can I portray the role since it’s really different and mature. But I accepted the challenge.”

Together with Julia in the “MMK” episode this Saturday (March 9) are Kiko Estrada, Daisy Reyes, Mike Lloren, Giselle Sanchez, Wendy Valdez, Kazel Kinouchi, Madz Nicolas, Glenda Garcia, Joe Vargas and Alexa Ilacad.

Slater Young, Dimples Romana and Ian de Leon on MMK this April 28

Maalaala Mo Kaya continues to present socially relevant issues with its weekly episodes that do not only entertain but also reflect the real struggles and triumphs of the ordinary Filipino people.

After recently featuring stories about the strong bond of a gay with a lesbian sibling and the inspiring experience of a teenage mother, “MMK” shares this Saturday (April 28) another empowering tale, this time about a woman who bravely decided to end her marriage for her to live again.

Topbilled by Dimples Romana and Ian de Leon, this week’s episode is about the misery that a battered wife had to go through the process of annulment. In the story Michelle (Dimples) filed an annulment case against her husband who was perennially beating her all throughout their marriage. Along the ordeal, she met a lawyer named David (Ian) who, like her, just came out of a bad relationship. As both struggle with their own failed romance, Michelle and David found themselves falling for each other. Amid the disapproval of their families and the judgment of the society in their budding relationship, can Michelle and David prove that their love is genuine? Is there life after a failed marriage?

Meanwhile, TV viewers, especially the loyal followers of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) will surely anticipate this week’s “MMK” episode as the said reality show’s latest big winner Slater Young takes on his first role in the top-rating drama program.

Together with Ian, Dimples, and Slater this Saturday are Lloyd Zaragoza, Madz Nicolas, Soliman Cruz, Kaye Miranda, Charles Christianson, and Alyanna Angeles. It is researched by Matet Balanay, written by Joan Habana and directed by Nuel Naval.
