"Dugong Buhay" to spice up your afternoon on Kapamilya Gold

The cast of "Dugong Buhay" TV series on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Gold

Magno "Carlo" J. Caparas, the famous Filipino comic strip creator/ writer turned director and producer had directed the original "Dugong Buhay" movie on 1983 starring the father and son tandem, Ramon Revilla Sr. and Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. based on his own comic series in People's Journal. 



On April 8, 2013, the tv remake of "Dugong Buhay" will be witnessed by the viewing public via its pilot episode on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Gold starting this Monday, at 3:30 PM, replacing "Paraiso," that starred Jessy Mendiola and Mateo Guidicelli. 

During the newest teleseries' grand presscon, direk Carlo shared his thoughts about the chosen casts for the "Dugong Buhay" tv remake,"Bihira ang mga tao na masasabi mong conscious sila sa proyekto. At 'yun ang nakakagulat na merong grupo ngayon na sumulpot na ganyan na nauunang kunin ang magandang materyal bago ang mga tao. Nung mapag-usapan namin ang dugong buhay na ganun kaganda plano nila, maski sino na ang gumanap, alam namin na mabibigyan s'ya ng katarungan ang kasaysayan ng "Dugong Buhay." At nakita n'yo naman ang mga karakter at mga katauhan na gumaganap ngayon, mula kay Lito (Pimentel), kay Christian (Vasquez), kay pareng Ronnie (Quizon) at Ms. Sunshine Cruz, at sa lahat ng narito, nakita ko na, ito na ang babagay sa 'Dugong Buhay' ngayon, kapagka, binigay natin sa ibang artista ngayon ang 'Dugong Buhay,' masasabi ko pang baka maalangan sila, kaya palakpakan natin sila...sila 'yung nababagay na 'Dugong Buhay' characters." 

Direk Carlo consider "Dugong Buhay" a special project for him because it is his tribute for workers who were mistreated by their landlords. He said, "The TV remake of ‘Dugong Buhay’ is a beautiful creation that resulted from preparation, hardwork and remarkable creative talent of the people behind it."

Direk Toto Natividad, the newest Kapamilya Gold tv series' director was so honored having directed direk Carlo's masterpiece he said, "This is a big challenge for me because this is not only about battles and action. ‘Dugong Buhay’ is a tension-filled drama series with a lot of heart." During the presscon, he even complimented the whole cast saying, "Ang maganda sa mga artistang dinidirek ko ngayon, willing eh, willing matuto, willing ibigay ang lahat. Dahil sa kagustuhan nilang mag-deliver, maganda ang kinakalabasan ng kanilang pag-arte at kanilang pagganap."

On the other hand, the very promising and young actor, Ejay Falcon, faces a new phase of his acting career, he is set to display not only his dramatic skills but this time, he'd be challenging himself to show-off some action stunts. For him, this is a "dream come true" project. "I have always wanted to do an action drama series that is why I’m very grateful that my wish has been granted," he said.

During the presscon, Ejay was very thankful for having chosen as one of the main characters in "Dugong Buhay," he heartily expressed, "Sobrang nakakataba po ng puso at pinagpapasalamat ko sa lahat ng nakaisip para ibigay po sa amin 'to." 

Meanwhile, Sunshine Cruz has made a complete comeback via "Dugong Buhay" as Isabel de Lara, she was also very excited to be working again and back on tv, "I am very thankful to ABS-CBN for the trust that they have given me for this kind of project. I am very thrilled and at the same time very nervous about the outcome of my performance."

After thirteen years of hibernating and playing a full-time housewife for Cesar Montano and their three beautiful daughters, Sunshine admitted that, after "Dugong Buhay," she'll be pursuing her showbiz career again. She's enjoying and having a great time, she even shared, "Ang sarap! Kahit napupuyat kami kasi, kahit 'yung staff, and crew and lahat ng artista , masaya lang kami sa set parang naglalaro lang, kahit puyat, enjoy... at the same time, it's a blessing for me, to be able to work again after a while." 

Of all the lines and replies Sunshine had uttered that night, this is my fave, "I've no regrets at all, whatever I've done in the past, I've learned from it, and it made me a better person."

The newest Kapamilya Gold action-drama series depicts a dark story of the past. It is evidently seen in the trailers and teasers that the main characters had involved themselves into a lot of anger, maltreatment, grudge and vengeance. Those feelings and thoughts had not faded and weren't swept away through the passing of time. We will all learn from their struggles, challenges, experiences and triumph. But truly, the most important thing is, we must also learn how to forgive. 

"Dugong Buhay" will surely spice up your weekdays, so better check it out!
