In just 38 episodes, Magpakailanman has given the TV audience a credible alternative and for the competition, a worthy adversary.
For its third season closing episode, writer Abet Raz and director Argel Joseph bring to life one of the best true-to-life stories – that of a deaf and a mute who stood against everyone to fight for truth and emerged victorious.
Sa Bingit Ng Katotohanan is the story of the handicapped Herminia Barlam (played by Alma Moreno). A witness to a crime, Herminia took the stand as the prime witness despite the threats on her life or even the initial rejection because of her defect which the court deemed unworthy and non-credible. Through determination, Herminia won her fight to testify and then won the case itself.
Anita Linda plays Nanay Inday; Chanda Romero plays Herminia’s sister Merly; Merylle Soriano plays Herminia’s niece Tere; Dindin Llanera plays Apple, the child who was raped and murdered; Maureen Mauricio is Amalia, Apple’s mother; Ryan Eigenmann, Gerald Madrid and Joseph Izon are Apple’s rapists, Matias, Fredo and Gardo respectively; Raquel Villavicencio as Herminia and Amalia’s attorney; and Mike Gayoso plays the attorney for the defense.
