Rica Peralejo is a Young Mom, Widow in MMK Mother's Day Special (May 11)

Asia’s longest running drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya” celebrates Mother’s Day this Saturday (May 11) as it shares the touching story of a young mom and widow named Minda who will be portrayed by actress Rica Peralejo. 

Because of poverty, Minda decided to leave her children with her in-laws in order to work and save enough money for their future. After many years, Minda finally had the guts to return to her sons and daughters, only to find out that they were maltreated by her late husband’s family. How can she erase the painful experiences that her children went through? Will a mother’s unconditional love be enough to make up for all of her shortcomings in the past years?

Also joining Rica in “MMK’s” Mother’s Day special are Cris Villanueva, Pamu Pamorada, Celine Lim, Dexter Doria, Allen Dizon, Deydey Amansec, Carlo Lacana, Benjamin de Guzman, Anja Aguilar, Johan Santos, Gemmae Custodio, Liz Alindogan, and Aloysius Noronia. It was researched by Akkem Jordan Del Rosario, written by Arah Jell Badayos, and directed by Raz de la Torre.

ABS-CBN’s newest talent Iza Calzado finally fulfills her dream of starring in Asia’s longest-running drama series Maalaala Mo Kaya as she topbills this Saturday’s (March 10) episode alongside Kapamilya hunk Zanjoe Marudo.

Iza will portray the role of Liza, a woman who got into an unconventional affair with a man named Egay (Zanjoe) who was paired with her by a dying friend, who was incidentally Egay’s wife.
