Before the release of her much talked about film “Suddenly It’s Magic,” where she is co-starred with Thai superstar Marior Maurer, ABS-CBN primetime princess Erich Gonzales will topbill “Maalaala Mo Kaya” this Saturday (October 13) alongside Diana Zubiri and Patrick Garcia. 

Erich will play the role of Merlie, the trusting younger sister of Yoli (Diana) who did everything that her ‘ate’ asked of her, including the idea of having a relationship with Ramon (Patrick) whom Merlie barely knew at all. Believing that Yoli’s intention for her was good and pure, Merlie followed Yoli, only to find out that she was just manipulated by her older sister. How can betrayal and infidelity shatter the solid bond between sisters? 

Aside from Erich, Diana and Patrick, also part of the episode are Miles Ocampo, Mark Joshua Sayarot, Dexie Daulat, Juan Rodrigo, Raquel Montessa, at Wowie de Guzman.

It was researched by Agatha Ruadap, written by Benson Logronio, and directed by Dado Lumibao. Don’t miss Erich’s remarkable portrayal in another heavy drama episode of “MMK” this Saturday, after “Wansapanataym” on ABS-CBN.

The said episode was chosen to compete with other five entries from Bhutan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Sri Lanka. The 2012 ABU Prize finalists were chosen from 166 entries from 18 countries and 25 organizations.

AJ Perez's MMK Episode trends in Twitter! WE LOVE YOU!

Tweet

The hashtag #ajperezmmk, referring to the Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) episode that starred late teen actor AJ Perez's life, trended worldwide on Twitter on Saturday night. 

It takes 50,000 tweets and 5,000 contributors for a tag to trend. 

Fans of Perez saw his curtain call on Saturday. 

MMK, ABS-CBN’s longest drama anthology, featured Perez’s last television project, which he top billed along with child star Bugoy Cariño.

Before he died, Perez had been tweeting about this MMK episode and was genuinely excited about the April 30 showing.

In the episode, Perez portrays the role of a homeless teenager who decides to walk from Manila all the way to Samar to search for his relatives.

Cariño, on the other hand, plays the role of Perez’s brother, who develops a deeper love for him during their long walk-adventure.

Perez died in a car accident last April 17.
