People's Tonight

Guess what you and Korina Sanchez have in common? 'Yan ang birong-tanong namin kay Bernadette Sembrano when she met a small group of movie press, with whom she discussed her pinakabagong programa sa ABS-CBN, Nagmamahal Kapamilya, which debuts on April 18.
 
"Ano?" ang nabigla niyang balik-tanong.
 
"Si Tarlac Congressman Noynoy Aquino, panganay at nag-iisang kapatid na lalaki ni Kris Aquino."
 
Biglang natawa si Bernadette at ang say: "Naku, matagal nang isyu 'yan, ha. Please let us not open it up again."
 
If you still don't know, na-link itong si Bernadette kay Cong. Noynoy at one time. One-and-a-half years din tumagal ang kanilang relasyon.
 
But obviously, sabi nga ni Bernadette, because they

both have busy schedules, nagkaka-clash sila. In time, nag-decide sila to just break up.
 
Naunang naging girlfriend ni Cong. Noynoy si Korina. But they also parted ways. Of course, alam na nating lahat kung sino ang bagong pag-ibig ni Korina. Si Senador Mar Roxas lang naman.
 
Sa kaso ni Bernadette, taken din siya sa kasalukuyan. Pero, dahil 'di naman daw taga-showbiz ang lalaki, ibalato na lang daw natin sa kanya ang identity nito.

Speaking of Nagmamahal, Kapamilya, the show is an ABS-CBN Global Ltd. Project, in partnership with Philippine Airlines (PAL).
 
Maituturing na breakthrough in Philippine television, Bernadette will bring kapamilyas abroad closer to home by sharing not just their stories, but dramatizing them as well.
 
"Their stories," ani Bernadette, "prove that life, indeed, is stranger than fiction. Pero 'di lang aral ang mapupulot sa kanilang mga kuwento, inspiring at nakatataba ng puso rin ang ilan.
 
"But all in all, their stories prove na kahit saang lupalop man ng mundo nandoon ang isang Pilipino, pinakamahalaga pa rin sa kanila ang pagiging isang buong pamilya."
 
Sheryn Regis renders the theme song specially composed for Nagmamahal, Kapamilya.
 
Included ang nasabing kanta sa bagong album ni Sheryn sa Star Records, titled What I Do Best.
 
For its initial episode, the program will feature the story of Lydia Palacios and Ricky Samson, mag-inang hindi nagkita for 38 years.
 
Tampok sa naturang episode sina Nova Villa, Gloria Diaz, Dennis Padilla, Meryll Soriano and Vhong Navarro.
 
ABS-CBN's partners sa pagpu-produce ng docu-drama na ito ay ang Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA); National Association of Independent Travel Agencies (NAITAS); Travel Cooperative of the Philippines and The Filipino Channel (TFC).
