The Kapamilya network brings to the small screen the most successful series in Philippine pocketbook history—“Martha Cecilia’s Kristine.”
Continuing the tradition of making programs based on romance novels, “Kristine” stars Jewel of Romance Cristine Reyes, Prince of Passion
Zanjoe Marudo, and the most sensual on-screen sweethearts Rafael Rosell and Denise Laurel under the direction of famed director Rory B. Quintos.
“Martha Cecilia’s Kristine” is about four people from rival families—the Fortalejos and the De Silvas—who unexpectedly fall in love with each other. Which is more important for them —loyalty to their family or to the person that they love? Will blood really prove to be thicker than water for these star-crossed lovers?
With the much-awaited debut of the teleserye that will challenge the boundaries of love, the four main characters of the story feel a mix of nervousness and excitement. "Sa lahat naman ng projects kong based sa pocketbooks, may kaba ako lagi, kasi very wide ang readers ng romance pocketbooks,” said Rafael Rosell who plays the character of Marco De Silva. “Kinakabahan ako na baka iba yung iniisip nilang portrayal ng character sa gagawin ko. But other than that, we have a strong team headed by Direk Rory. I have no doubt that it's gonna be successful.”
On the other hand, Denise Laurel who plays Emerald Fortalejo said, "Kinakabahan kasi after Midnight Phantom ends then after two days, Martha Cecilia’s Kristine naman. I'm eager to hear about the feedback on Emerald compared to Nadja (her character in
Midnight Phantom)."
Cristine Reyes, meanwhile, plays Jewel Fortalejo, the sister of Denise in the story. When asked if she’s prepared to compete with the other drama primetime princesses, Cristine Reyes was obviously surprised. “Ha?! hindi naman siguro ‘sabayan.’ Masaya na kasi ako na pinagkakatiwalaan ako ng
ABS-CBN ng ganitong project.”
"May pressure sa pagbibida ko sa Martha Cecilia's Kristine,” says Cristine’s leading man Zanjoe Marudo. Zanjoe plays the role of Jaime Reyes, a character willing to do everything in his power to protect the De Silvas. “Dito ko mage-gauge kung kaya ko ba magdala ng isang show o hindi. Dito ko mage-gauge kung hanggang saan ang kaya kong patunayan."
The scenes from the teleserye are sure to be breathtaking, especially since they are accompanied by the heart-wrenching theme song “Ngayon at Kailanman” performed by
Ms. Vina Morales.
“Martha Cecilia's Kristine” will start airing on Monday, August 16, 2010 on Primetime Bida. To find out more about the series, simply log on to the official facebook fanpage of Martha Cecilia's Kristine at
