“Pamilya Ko,” ABS-CBN’s newest primetime series, will touch the hearts of viewers as it tackles the issues that modern Filipino families face — from infidelity, tragedy, to sibling rivalry — and the forces that bind them together — forgiveness, acceptance, and love.
Beginning today, viewers can follow the story of Chico (JM De Guzman), his parents Fernan (Joey Marquez) and Luzviminda (Sylvia Sanchez), and the rest of the Mabunga siblings — Beri (Kiko Estrada), Apol (Kid Yambao), Persi (Jairus Aquino), Peachy (Maris Racal), Lemon (Kira Balinger), Cherry (Mutya Orquia), and Pongky (Raikko Mateo) — as they navigate the complex issues that arise even among the most loving families.
Chico may be the responsible and dependable first born, but an old family tragedy actually forces his parents to send him to live with his grandparents for almost all his life. Despite feeling alienated from his own family, Chico still makes an effort to build a connection with his parents and his siblings.
But just when everything starts to fall into place, a huge revelation will shake their whole family: their father Fernan has an ongoing affair. Chaos will take over the Mabungas and ultimately test Chico’s strength in keeping his family together.
Amid all the challenges, Chico will have his best friend Betty (Arci Muñoz) by his side supporting him along the way.
Asked what this new family drama will bring to the abundant mix of television offerings, lead star Sylvia Sanchez answered, “I think makakatulong ito especially d’un sa may maraming anak. Makikita nila dito kung anong klase yung pagdadaanan ng pamilya. Pero makikita din nila na ‘pag may problema, basta sama-sama, makakayanan.”
“Makakakuha sila ng aral sa amin dito. Kasi lahat kami ng creative at ng cast, isa lang ang gusto namin — ang makapagbigay ng magandang ehemplo, halimbawa sa mga kapwa Pilipino,” Sanchez added.
Under the direction of Raymund Ocampo, also part of the powerhouse cast of “Pamilya Ko” are Irma Adlawan and Alyssa Muhlach.
“Pamilya Ko” airs late afternoons every weekday beginning today before “TV Patrol.”
