The Atayde siblings, Arjo Atayde and Ria Atayde, will be in the upcoming MMK (Maalala Mo Kaya) episode this Saturday, December 8. We all know that both are son and daughter of the veteran actress Ms. Sylvia Sanchez. As we all know Arjo and Ria have been to different teleseryes already and they have proven their acting abilities, particularly in drama. This time it is their first time to work together on TV.
The upcoming MMK episode where the Atayde siblings are featured was shot at Sibuyan Island in Romblon. Both of them will play the character of Armin and Rosedel, both an environmental activists fighting to save the local mountain from being desecrated. Now, it is something to look forward for the Atayde siblings working together in one episode of MMK, Arjo and Ria Atayde.
"Sa kaunahang pagkakataon, nagkatrabaho kami ng kapatid ko. Dreams do come true". Ria said. Ria is so grateful to work with his brother. While Arjo said " Magaling siya (Ria) at very professional walang awkward feeling with her". Perhaps the good thing about them is that they are both working their characters as what they are, siblings. Then again they are both professional.
Don't miss to watch MMK (Maalala Mo Kaya) on December 8 at 8:30pm featuring the Atayde Siblings, Arjo Atayde and Ria Atayde. Will definitely watch this episode.

Bloggers have the opportunity to interview one of the rising Kapamilya Teen Star, Julia Barretto in her episode for Maalaala Mo Kaya or MMK.  Maalaala Mo Kaya is ABS-CBN's longest running drama anthology that features different stories played by most of the actors and actresses in the Philippines.

Julia Barretto shared us her experiences and challenges in making this MMK episode.  She was nervous and at the same time proud to do a drama in MMK, "It is given to me for a reason" according to her.

She disclosed also that the last scene was the hardest part for her because it was really a heavy drama.  But still she managed to focus and it came out great.   Let's all watch it this Saturday on MMK.

Here is a sypnosis of the story:

Julia played as Alex, a young teenage girl who grew up in a complete and happy family.  Her life reaches a turning point when her mother leaves them for another man because of her father's drug addiction.  Alex decided to forgive her father before her family gets ever broken.   She works hard to prove to her mother that their family will still be happy without her. (it seems that it will be a full and heavy drama, so don't miss the episode).

Together with Julia Baretto in this episode are Ara Mina, James Blanco, Jacob Dionisio, Tommy Abuel, Manuel Chua, Kristoff Meneses, Marikit Morales and Yda Yaneza.
