Bea Alonzo's Teleserye Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon Faces Legal Issues

The upcoming teleserye of Bea Alonzo titled Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon is facing legal issues after director Romy Suzara claimed that he has the intellectual rights over the said title.

"Sana nag-research 'yung title nito. Bakit sa dami ng titles na pwede nilang pagpilian. bakit Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon? Napakahirap at that time na mag-isip kami ng isang title so 'yun ang naisip ko. Sa katunayan nga ay nagpagawa pa ko ng kanta kay George Canseco, theme song ng Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon," said Suzara referring to his movie of the same title back then.

"Sana na abisuhan man lang ako na 'direk sa iyo pala ito.' 'Yun lang. Gusto kong malaman nila na kaya ako nagrereklamo ngayon kasi na bypass ako. Kung hindi siguro nila ako papansinin baka magkaroon ng legal na kuwan pero nasa paguusapan lahat 'yan. Wala naman masama doon kung mag-uusap kami," he said.

"Hindi naman pera-pera yan. Kamukha 'yan ng kapag gumawa ka ng nobela ni Carlo Caparas, nakalagay ang pangalang 'Carlo Caparas.' 'Yun lang ang gusto ko, i-acknowledge lang nila na sa akin ang title," Suzara added.

Meanwhile, the management said the title of the upcoming soap was derived from the song Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon and not from Suzara's movie.

"Ang titulong 'Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon' ay hango sa theme song na may parehong pamagat. Ang kanta ay pag-aari ng BAMI na nasa ilalim na rin ng Star Records na kabilang sa Kapamilya network. Titulo at kanta lamang ang may pagkakatulad pero hindi ang kwento," the management said in a statement.

Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon is one of the first offerings of ABS-CBN this 2014. Aside from Bea, the said teleserye will also star Albert Martinez, Paulo Avelino, Susan Roces, Dina Bonnevie, Tonton Gutierrez, Maricar Reyes and Ms. Anita Linda.
