On November 3, Kapamilya Director Jerome Pobocan said that Maalaala Mo Kaya is ABS-CBN’s standard in drama.
During the media conference for Maalaala Mo Kaya’s opening salvo for November, Pobocan recalled getting launched as a director through the anthology series.
“Sa MMK ang mga direktor, diyang nila-launch. Kung ikaw ay isang narrative director, diyan masusukat kung mahusay ka ng magkwento. Isa ako sa mga direktor na nailaunch sa MMK, way back, ‘yung mga panahon na– my first episode was Jodi Sta. Maria, Hilda Coronel episode. That was Rositas.”
He then noted that it is an achievement for Kapamilya artists to lead an episode of MMK, highlighting the series’ dramatic standard.
“Sa mga artista din, para mabigyan ka ng pagkakataon na mag-lead–maging leading man or leading actor ng isang episode ng MMK, ibig sabihin noon, you’ve arrived. Ibig sabihin noon, pinagkakatiwalaan ng isang episode na dadalhin mo dahil mataas ang dramatic standards at story telling ng programa kaya pag ginawa mo ito, masasabi na mahusay ka na talaga.”
Pobocan is directing the November opening episode of MMK titled Ink of Smile. The episode stars Kapamilya actor Enchong Dee who coincidentally is celebrating his 15th year in showbiz and 33rd birthday.
As for MMK, the long-running Kapamilya anthology series is currently celebrating its 30th year on the air with a series of hard-hitting drama episodes.
Viewers can catch the latest MMK episodes via Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live YouTube channel, ABS-CBN Entertainment Facebook page, and iWantTFC.
