COCO MARTIN, METIKOLOSO SA PAGDIDIREK NG ANG PANDAY

KUNG pagbabasehan ang karanasan ni Coco sa pelikula at telebisyon, walang duda na hinog na hinog na siya sa kanyang unang pagsabak nilang direktor ng Ang Panday, isa sa official entries sa Metro Manila Film Festival ngayong December.

Sa telebisyon, sa loob ng halos isang dekada, napatunayan ni Coco ang buong suporta ng mga Pilipino dahil sa bawat seryeng kanyang ginagawa, lagi itong nangunguna sa rating. Mula sa Tayong Dalawa, Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo, Walang Hanggan, Iisa Pa Lamang, Juan dela Cruz hanggang ngayon sa Ang Probinsyano, wala nang kailangang patunayan si Coco. Sa katunayan, siya na ang aktor na may pinakamaraming awards at pagkilala sa larangan ng kahusayan.

Puspusan ang shooting ni Coco ng Ang Panday. Tuwing Huwebes, Sabado at Linggo. 

SYLVIA SANCHEZ AND JC SANTOS TOPBILL IPAGLABAN MO ANNIVERSARY EPISODE

Ipaglaban Mo” continues its month-long third anniversary celebration and features the story of a deaf and mute person who is the sole witness to a murder in an episode topbilled by JC Santos and Sylvia Sanchez this Saturday (July 8) on ABS-CBN.

Karlo (JC Santos) has long been emotionally and even physically abused by the people around him because of his condition. What hurt him the most, however, was that his very own father was one of them. Thus, his only ally in his life was his mother Teresa (Sylvia Sanchez), who always stood by his side no matter what.

One day, while walking in the streets, Karlo saw how three men abducted and killed a helpless woman. How did Karlo tell the authorities what he witnessed? Did the court believe his testimonies? 

Since “Ipaglaban Mo” premiered on ABS-CBN in 2014, the show has been consistently captivating viewers in its timeslot because of its timely and relevant stories that not only showcase Filipino values, but also inform viewers of their legal rights.

“Ipaglaban Mo” further strengthened its commitment to serve by offering free legal consultations to the public with Atty. Jose and Jopet Sison every week in ABS-CBN’s Tulong Center located in the ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City. Through this, the public will not only be guided on what to do next with regard to their case, but also feel empowered to fight for their rights.

It has also received awards from the 2016 PMPC Star Awards where it won the Best Drama Anthology, and Best Public Affairs Program from the 2nd Alta Media Icon Awards.

Don’t miss the anniversary month of the 3rd year of “Ipaglaban Mo” every Saturday after “It’s Showtime” on ABS-CBN. For more updates, follow @IpaglabanMoCh2 on Twitter; @IpaglabanMoABSCBN on Instagram, and like www.Facebook.com/IpaglabanMoABSCBN on Facebook.
