Yen Santos is Rodeo Queen in MMK this May 26

Maalala Mo Kaya makes history this Saturday (May 26) as it becomes the first-ever program on television to showcase the beauty of the true 'rodeo capital' of the Philippines, Masbate.

Featuring the life story of first 'rodeo queen' Gemma Layson, to be portrayed by Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 3 ex-housemate Yen Santos, MMK’s 'rodeo' episode will showcase the breathtaking sceneries of the province and its colorful ingenious traditions, including the grand competition of cowboys nationwide, 'Rodeo Masbateño.'

In the story, Gemma aspired for nothing but to finish her studies and give her family a better life. But aside from poverty, Gemma had a difficult time in achieving her dream because of her father who did not want to send her to school.

With the lack of support, she decided to compete in 'Rodeo Masbateño' and become one of its cowgirls. Gemma did not mind the danger of being a cowgirl, because aside from her financial needs, being a cowgirl gave Gemma the happiness that she could not find with her father.

Together with Yen in the MMK episode are Akiko Solon, Snooky Serna, and Juan Rodrigo. It was researched by Akeem Jordan del Rosario, written by Benson Logronio, and directed by Nuel Naval.
