Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera is thankful for the continued success of Tadhana, the weekly program she hosts. The GMA Public Affairs award-winning drama anthology is celebrating its fifth year with a special three-part anniversary episode which starts airing this October 8.
“Maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyong walang sawang pagsubaybay sa loob ng limang taon,” Marian said. “Totoo namang hindi laging masaya – may mga kuwento ng pagkabigo, mayroon ding tagumpay. Mayroon ding [kuwentong] magbibigay-inspirasyon at maraming pagkakataon. Ang importante, sa huli, laging may gintong aral na makukuha at mas nagpapalakas sa atin. Hindi man laging masaya ang buhay, mas malakas, mas matatag, at mas matatapang naman tayo ngayon sa anumang hamon ng buhay. Kaya saan man kayo dalhin ng Tadhana, kapit lang, Kapuso” she added.
Every Saturday, Tadhana celebrates the stories of Filipinos’ triumphs over seemingly insurmountable adversities, not only imparting lessons to viewers but giving them inspiration and hope as well. Each episode features compelling stories starring some of the country’s biggest stars. Tadhana continues to be one of the highest rating shows on weekends. Online, it remains one of the most followed local TV shows with almost 8 million followers on Facebook. In September alone, Tadhana’s online views hit 21 million views on Facebook.
As part of its anniversary offering, Tadhana presents “Baliw na Puso” headlined by Raymond Bagatsing, Vaness del Moral, Lianne Valentin, and Mylene Dizon. Joining them are Via Antonio, Tart Carlos, Erlinda Villalobos, and Simon Ibarra. The three-part story is penned by Adam Cornelius Asin and head writer Erwin Caezar Bravo. Rommel Penesa directs the anniversary special.
“Ngayong buwan ng Oktubre, pangmalakasan ang aming handog sa inyo. Kuwento ito ng isang mag-ina na nagkahiwalay. Ano nga bang kapalaran ang naghihintay sa kanila? Pagtatagpuin ba muli silang dalawa?” Marian shared.
Amy’s (Mylene) life revolves around her baby Marjorie (Lianne) but they get separated by an accident. As years pass, Amy realizes that she needs a lot of money to find her daughter. She works hard until she and her mother Maribeth (Erlinda) become rich.
Twenty years later, despite Amy’s wealth, Marjorie remains missing. Until one day, Amy meets Dennis (Raymond), a handsome policeman who helps in the case of finding Marjorie.
The couple settles down. But their relationship soon takes a dark turn.
Will Amy finally reunite with her daughter? What fate awaits them?
