Real-life best friends Kim and Maja spells “rivalry” in “Ina, Kapatid, Anak”

After the unprecedented success of the tv series “My Binondo Girl” in ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida of Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador’s PHR presents “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin,” the two real-life best friends will spice up your weeknights once again via their newest teleseries “Ina, Kapatid, Anak,” starting tonight, October 8, 2012, Monday after "Walang Hanggan."

The story’s plot will definitely hit every Filipino’s hearts and lives, since it tackles everything about love, family, friendship and sisterhood. It is also a story of power, rivalry and acceptance. Kim plays the role of Celine, a poor but very optimistic young girl, according to her, “In our teleserye, the audience will learn how to value their families and how to achieve their dreams. I’ve never done a character like Celine who’s so loud and talkative. If in “My Binondo Girl,” I portrayed a sweet and relatively well-off girl; here in ‘Ina Kapatid Anak,’ I am super poor.”

On the other hand, Maja plays Margaux, a rich and glamorous lass who’ll make Celine’s simple life very complicated. Maja shared, “All Margaux’s things are glittery, but eventually the viewers will discover what’s really inside her mind and heart. What’s interesting about our (Kim and Maja) characters is that both Celine and Margaux are born fighters and they do not allow their families to be maltreated by anyone.” Pretty Maja even added that, viewers should watch out if she will be a wicked bida-kontrabida in the story.

We’ll be expecting more confrontation scenes from these on and off cam bffs, isn’t that exciting? It’s as exciting as the two lovely ladies’ love interests, Xian Lim who plays Liam in the story, will be reunited with the “apple” of his eye, Kim Chiu (take note KimXis!); while Enchong Dee who plays Ethan will be paired with Maja Salvador for the first time. Hmmm... really something to look forward to huh! :))

Ina, Kapatid, Anak is relatively based from the movie of same title in 1979 starring the late Charito Solis and Lolita Rodriguez under Regal Films. This tv series is however directed by Don Cuaresma and Jojo Saguin of the fantasy drama, “100 Days to Heaven,” and written by Danica Domingo of “Tayong Dalawa.” Joining the powerhouse cast are highly acclaimed seasoned actors Janice de Belen, Cherry Pie Picache and Ariel Rivera; well respected veteran stars Ronaldo Valdez, Pilar Pilapil and Eddie Gutierrez.

We all come from our own mothers... majority of us have also siblings... and eventually, we’ll be having our own children. “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” is the tv series for everybody. Soon, it will be the “trending topic” of every household. It is a story that everyone can relate to.
