CEBU, Philippines - ABS-CBN opens 2016 with a light romantic comedy that sheds light on interracial relationships beginning tonight.
Follow the love story of certified “dalagang Filipina” Pinang and modern Brazilian-Japanese guy Phil, played by real life couple Erich Gonzales and Daniel Matsunaga, as they find their way to each other’s hearts despite differences in language, beliefs, and culture.
Pinang grew up in a simple family with big dreams. To make ends meet, her mother Marcy (Janice De Belen) leaves for Singapore and tries her luck there in the hopes of earning money to reclaim the piece of land her husband Emil (Al Tantay) previously owned and used for farming. But things will not go as planned as an unfortunate incident gets her deported.
Phil, on the other hand, grew up in a very Western and liberated environment. He is independent and lives a very comfortable life with his mother Chelsea (Priscilla Mereilles) in Singapore. A wedding of a dear friend suddenly brings him to the Philippines, which also gives him the much-awaited chance to find his childhood nanny whom he wants to make amends with.
As he searches for a person very dear to him in his past, Phil also finds the woman who will make his heart skip a beat. How will the aggressive hunk grab the eyes of the conservative and very reserved Pinay?
Also joining the cast are Yayo Aguila, Almira Muhlach, Yves Flores, Karen Dematera, MJ Cayabyab, RK Bagatsing, Devon Seron, Karen Reyes, Mike Lloren, Ana Abad Santos, Perry Escano, Marife Necesito and comedy trio No Direction. (PR)
