After her blockbuster film Etiquette for Mistresses with Kris Aquino, Kim Chiu, Iza Calzado and Cheena Crab, Claudine Barretto returns to Maalaala Mo Kaya for an intense drama this Saturday playing the role of Leni. The episode that Claudine will be topbilling this Saturday will tackle the sensitive case of rape and incest.
Leni (Claudine) was only five years old when her very own father Ramon (Gardo Versoza) raped her. He was proven guilty of the crime and got convicted. Six years after, however, Ramon obtained pardon and went back home, leaving Leni worried for the safety of her younger sister Aileen (Mika Dela Cruz).
Just as she suspected, Ramon did start doing lascivious acts on the innocent 17-year-old girl that eventually led to rape. Aileen, feeling very helpless, ran away and kept the shattering experience all to herself.When Leni found out about what happened, she bravely searched for Aileen. Fate found a way for them to be back in each other’s arms until another difficult ordeal unfolded once more— Aileen got impregnated by her own father.
How will Aileen take this news? How will this affect Leni, who blames herself for not being courageous enough to protect her sister?
Joining this “MMK” episode are Maureen Mauricio, Jao Mapa, Sue Ramirez, Allyson McBride, Marco Pingol, Louise Bernardo, and Paolo Gumabao. The episode is directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng and written by Benjamin Logronio. “MMK” is led by business unit head Malou Santos.
