Jennylyn Mercado wins two cases against former personal assistant Mel Pulmano
Erwin Santiago


Nakakuha ang PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ng kopya ng resolutions ng dalawang kaso kung saan sangkot ang young actress-singer na si Jennylyn Mercado at ang dati niyang personal assistant o P.A. na si Rowena "Mel" Pulmano.



QUALIFIED THEFT THROUGH FALSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS. Una, ang kasong Qualified Theft through Falsification of Documents na isinampa ni Jennylyn laban kay Mel noong October 28, 2008.



Ayon sa four-page resolution na inilabas ni Quezon City Assistant Prosecutor Arleen Tagaban, may "probable cause" para ma-"indict" si Pulmano sa Qualified Theft na isinampa laban sa kanya ni Jennylyn, dahil sa paggamit ng dating P.A. ng pera ng aktres na umaabot ng mahigit P460,000 para sa kanyang sariling pangangailangan.



"...the undersigned finds probable cause to indict respondent [Pulmano] with the crime of Qualified Theft... Considering, therefore, that respondent, being complainant's personal assistant, had taken advantage of her position in committing the crime of Theft with grave abuse of confidence reposed in her by the complainant, there is sufficient ground to engender a well founded belief that respondent had committed the crime of Qualified Theft."



Walang inirekomendang bail ang korte para kay Pulmano.



Pero ibinasura naman ni Tagaban ang reklamong Falsification laban kay Pulmano dahil wala raw sapat na ebidensiya ang actress-singer na pineke ng kanyang dating P.A. ang kanyang pirma sa mga ninakaw na mga tseke sa kanya.



"Complainant [Jennylyn] claimed that her signatures in those checks were forged, hence, respondent [Pulmano] should be indicted for falsification. The undersigned noticed that except from her bare allegations, complainant failed to establish the accusation of falsification. There was no independent and/or corroborative evidence that was adduced to establish that her signature was forged. Therefore, the complaint for Falsification is vulnerable to dismissal," ayon sa resolution ni Tagaban.



Inisyu ng Quezon City Prosecutor's Office ang naturang resolusyon noong August 20, 2009. Pirmado ito ni Assistant City Prosecutor Arleen T. Tagaban, at may recommending approval ni 2nd Asst. City Prosecutor Donald T. Lee at, approval ni City Prosecutor Claro A. Arellano.



ROBBERY CASE. Ikalawa, ang Robbery case na isinampa ni Mel at ng kanyang anak na si Nina Bianca Pulmano laban kay Jennylyn at dalawang iba pa—sina Rosemarie Lam at Eleonor Lindo—sa Provincial Prosecution Office of Rizal.Ayon kay Mel, kinuha raw ni Jennylyn at ng kanyang mga kasama ang apat na pares na hikaw na nagkakahalaga ng P36,300, isang singsing na pambabae na nagkakahalaga ng P10,000, apat na kuwintas na may pendant na nagkakahalaga ng P71,450, at dalawang bracelets na nagkakahalaga ng P31,400—o may kabuuang halaga na P149,150.



Idinismis ng korte ang naturang kaso "for lack of probable cause."



Dinesisyunan ni Asst. Provincial Prosecutor Gloria T. Marinduque-de Guzman ang naturang joint resolution.



BECKY'S REACTION. Samantala, nakatanggap naman ang PEP ng text message mula sa manager ni Jennylyn na si Becky Aguila. Nagpahayag ng kasihayan ang manager dahil sa pagwawagi ng actress-singer sa kanyang mga kaso, at ibinalita rin nito ang pagkaka-dismiss ng labor case na isinampa sa kanya ni Pulmano sa Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).



Narito ang text message ni Becky:



"Jennylyn and I are overjoyed with the results. Jennylyn's victory is my victory as well because it only proved once and for all that I'm not Rowena Pulmano's mastermind. I also won in DOLE. The labor case filed by my former staff Rowena Pulmano was dismissed due to lost of trust and confidence as her employer.



"Jen won her case with no bail recommended for Rowena. Jen's robbery and child abuse case filed by Rowena Pulmano was also dismissed.



"Like what I said in my interviews last year, let's bring this controversial issue to court to stop the humiliation and ridicule of trial by publicity. My reputation as a decent and protective manager was tarnished by Rowena's fabricated lies and stories. I was misjudged and ridiculed publicly by my former staff. She used my controversies to get away from her own crimes. My family was most affected and all I could cling on to was my faith that in God's time, I will be vindicated and the truth shall prevail. I'm also thankful and grateful to Atty. Joji Alonso and Associates."

what about BOSSING VIC SOTTO in a primetime series??? perhaps they could turn ENTENG KABISOTE into a series this time with a new FAYE.

I doubt it. Baka gagawin ni Bossing ito sa TV5 if he can get Kristine Hermosa to reprise her role as Faye.

Jennylyn Mercado hindi na nag-renew ng contract sa GMA 7
ABOUT SHOWBIZ Ni Nitz Miralles (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated September 06, 2009 12:00 AM



Halos one year ding dininig ang robbery and child abuse case na isinampa ni Mel Pulmano kay Jennylyn Mercado at regular na dumadalo sa hearing ang aktres. Kaya masaya ito nang ma-dismiss ang kaso sa tulong ng lawyer niyang si Atty. Joji Alonso, pero hindi pa tapos ang pagpunta sa hearing ni Jennylyn dahil nasa korte na ang qualified theft na demanda niya kay Mel, ira-raffle na ito at mag-i-issue na yata ng warrant of arrest.

Dahil no bail recommended ang kasong ito, lilitisin ang akusado habang nakakulong. Masaya rin si Becky dahil kasabay na na-dismiss ang labor case na isinampa rin sa kanya ni Mel, pero bubuweltahan niya ito. Idedemanda niya ang former assistant ng forgery at ’di raw siya titigil hanggang hindi nalilinis ang pangalan niya.

Parang nabunutan ng tinik si Jennylyn sa pagkaka-dismiss ng kaso sa kanya at pagkaka-elevate ng demanda niya sa dating kasa-kasama. Matutuwa siya kung maibabalik ang malaking perang nawala sa kanya.

Samantala, magiging Viva Artist Agency artist na rin si Jennylyn dahil next week, pipirma na sila ng manager niyang si Becky Aguila ng co-managerial contract with Vic del Rosario. Two-year exclusive contract ang pipirmahan ni Jennylyn sa Viva at sakop ang movie, recording, at concert. Two albums at two movies ang nakatakda niyang gawin, plus concert.

“But she’s still with GMA 7, may understanding kami ni Wilma Galvante na as long na hindi nila pababayaan si Jen, mananatili siya sa network. Gusto ko lang ma-maximize ang singing talent niya and she has to work hard for her baby,” ani Becky.

February pa nag-expire ang contract ni Jennylyn sa GMA Network, nag-offer naman ng guaranteed contract, pero mas gusto nito at ni Becky na mas may freedom siya to choose her projects. Ire-reinvent din ang image niya as hot mama na tama lang dahil next month, lalabas na ang Belo billboard nila ni Valerie Concepcion bilang ‘hot mama’ endorsers.

Mukha namang hindi pakakawalan ng Channel 7 si Jennylyn dahil sisimulan na nila ni Mark Herras ang taping ng Now That I Have You sa direksiyon ni Joel Lamangan.

Jennylyn Mercado: "Para akong nabunutan ng tinik."
Elyas Isabelo Salanga




Singer-actress Jennylyn Mercado feels that her reputation has been restored with the dismissal of the robbery charges filed against her by former personal assistant Rowena "Mel" Pulmano. Aside from that, she scored another legal point when her qualified theft charges against Mel were deemed as having "probable cause" by Quezon City Assistant Prosecutor Arleen Tagaban (click here to read the story).



"Siguro ito na yung sagot na wala akong ginawang masama," Jen said in her interview on Startalk yesterday, September 5. She said she was happy that the long wait bore positive results for her.



"Para akong nabunutan ng tinik," she described.



Jen's legal counsel, Atty. Joji Alonso, praised the prosecutors for properly reviewing the case. "Very thorough ang kanilang analysis," she said. "So, nakakatuwa in that sense na nakita nila kung ano ang merit ng kaso ni Jennlyn."



QUALIFIED THEFT A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE. Mel may have gotten out of a tight spot with the dismissal of the falsification charges against her, but she faces an even bigger problem. As it turns out, the charge of qualified theft may be more serious punishment-wise. If Mel is placed under arrest, she may have problems posting bail.



Explained Atty. Joji, "Depende sa amount. May configuration siya and in this case, qualified theft siya, so two degrees higher. Ang exact amount para maging non-bailable is P222,000. Since lumagpas nang P460,000, automatically non-bailable. The reason there being another consideration, of course, is the penalty that may be imposed sa ganitong klaseng krimen."



How much prison time would Mel get if proven guilty?



"Since this is qualified theft, automatic iyon na two degrees higher. So it will now range from 20 years and one day to 40 years," explained Att. Joji. "This is a very serious case. Akala kasi ng iba laro-laro lang ito, but these are very serious charges."



That explained, does Jen want her former assistant behind bars?



"Hindi na ako ang nagdedesisyon, e," said Jen. "Kumbaga ang batas na ang magdedesisyon."



For Atty. Joji, the recent development is the next step in their case against Mel. According to her, the qualified theft charge would be filed, raffled, and the judge would determine the case and look at the recommendations. If the judge sees that there is probable cause, the next step would be the issuance of an arrest warrant. Atty. Joji added that there is really nothing Jen can do even if Mel asks for forgiveness, since the whole case would now be for a judge to decide.



But has Jen forgiven Mel after all of this?



"Sa puso ko, yes," said Jen, "pero katulad nga ng sinabi ko, e, hindi ako magdedesisyon."

[SurferDude08]

I doubt it. Baka gagawin ni Bossing ito sa TV5 if he can get Kristine Hermosa to reprise her role as Faye.

that would be a nice primetime teleserye for TV5.

but i dont think theres a way to make the franchise less cheesy... especially if Vic stays on. it will be too cheesy even for GMA primetime.

[kyupayb]

or they could expand encantadia revealing that engkantasya, the kingdom of ina magenta and faye of okay ka fairy ko are actually adjacent to each other. tapus we'll see bossing vic (enteng kabisote) in encantadia.

hehe. i think Bossing Vic should have his own TV Series. I read before he is one of the top choices to portray ANDRES DE SAYA. pero mas maganda sana talaga kung ENTENG KABISOTE TV Series nalang.

Jennylyn Mercado stays at GMA but also moves to Viva

Having decided not to renew her contract with the GMA Talent Development and Management Department under Ida Henares, Becky is scheduled to sign a two-year co-management deal with Viva Artist Agency for a recording, movie and concert contract for Jennylyn.

This agreement does not include television which will solely be managed by Becky. She says, “I agreed with Wilma (Galvante) that Jennylyn will stay in GMA as long as they are giving her good projects.”

When asked if it’s possible for Jennylyn to do shows at ABS-CBN, she answers, “Now it’s possible but I intend to keep my word to Wilma.”

Jennylyn’s billboard as endorser of Belo Medical Group with Valerie Concepcion will soon be installed along EDSA. She’s scheduled to be on the cover of FHM magazine with Valerie for October with a Hot Mama theme.

Jennylyn has been managing her own finances as a lesson learned from the Rowena Pulmano case.

Two-timer nga ba si Mark Herras?
IGMA.tv



Dalawang linggo na lang at mapapanood nang muli sina Mark Herras at Jennylyn Mercado on GMA Telebabad. And here to give us a few more teasers is Mark Herras. Text by Jason John S. Lim. Photo by Mio de Castro.

starsAminado si Mark Herras na wala pa siya talagang alam tungkol sa character niya sa kanyang bagong soap. Bukod sa pangalan nito, Michael, "ang alam ko pa lang, medyo happy-go-lucky [siya]."

That, and the fact na girlfriend niya si Pauleen Luna sa start ng soap—pero mai-in love siya kay Jennylyn Mercado. "Tapos pag nag-meet na si Jen at Pauleen, bilang magkapatid—wow!"

Two-timer ba ang character ni Mark sa soap na ito?

"Mapagmahal lang," natatawang sagot ni Mark.





Topaks, or Mark-Jennylyn fans, shouldn't fret though. Mark reassures us, "sa huli, pipiliin ko pa rin si Jen. 'Yun 'yung reason kung bakit magkakagulo 'yung magkapatid. Dahil sa pag-ibig."

Coming from Paano ba ang Mangarap? where he was also partnered with Jennylyn Mercado, tinanong namin si Mark kung paano mahihiwalay ng mga fans nila ang character niya from the afternoon soap with his new character.

"Hindi ko pa alam 'yung character, 'yung personal na ugali, ni Michael," admits Mark. Pero, according sa binata, "I know naman na pinag-iba 'yung characters. And ita-try ko din na, siyempre, makita nila 'yung pagkakaiba. Iibahin ko rin siyempre 'yung [atake sa] character ni Michael."

During the interview, binanggit namin kay Mark ang request ng ilang fans na magkaroon rin ng comic moments between him and Jennylyn. But because of the drama storylines, Mark says he cannot promise any comedic scenes.

"Tingnan natin," he says. "Baka puwede naman siguro isingit-singit."

To end, Mark invites everyone na manood ng bago niyang soap: "Abangan niyo po 'yung next show namin, kasama ko po dito si Pauleen Luna and si Miss Jennylyn Mercado. Panibagong show po na pagsasamahan namin ni Jen, and sana po mag-enjoy kayo and gagawin po namin lahat ng magagawa namin para mas kiligin kayo; at siyempre drama 'to, so papaiyakin din namin kayo, para ma-feel niyo 'yung story."

Mark and Jennylyn's new show, tentatively titled Now That I Have You, will begin airing September 21, Mondays to Fridays, before 24 Oras.

Jennylyn Mercado, posibleng magawa pa rin ang pelikula sa GMA Films kahit pipirma na sa VIVA
Nitz Miralles


This Thursday na pipirma ng two-years exclusive contract sa Viva Artist Agency si Jennylyn Mercado at sakop ng kontrata ang movies, recording, concert at commercial. Two albums at two movies ang gagawin niya habang nasa VAA at posibleng madagdagan pa ang projects ngayong katuwang na ni Becky Aguila si Vic del Rosario bilang manager niya.

May gagawin sanang pelikula si Jennylyn sa GMA Films, ang horror flick na Babang Luksa at co-produced ng Reality Films ni Dondon Monteverde. Magawa pa kaya ito ni Jennylyn kung may exclusive contract na siya sa VAA? Tinanong namin ang isang taga-GMA tungkol dito at ang sagot ay baka matuloy pa rin si Jennylyn dahil maganda naman ang relasyon ng Viva Films at GMA Films. Sina Mark Herras at Sunshine Dizon ang iba pang cast ng movie.

Si Mark din ang kapareha ni Jennylyn sa Now That I Have You, ang soap na papalit sa All My Life at eere na this September sa direksiyon ni Joel Lamangan.

Mark Herras-Jennylyn Mercado love team back in new soap



Balik tambalan sa primetime ng Kapuso Network sina Mark Herras at Jennylyn Mercado. At dahil kapwa loveless ang dalawa, marami ang nagtatanong kung posible kayang magkabalikan sila.

Sa ulat ni entertainment reporter Lhar Santiago, sinabi nito na hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ni Mark ang pagiging blooming ng dating nobya na si Jennylyn nang magsama sila sa pictorial para sa bago nilang soap project na “Now That I Have You."

Aminado ang dalawa na mas lalo silang naging close ngayon kaysa noon. Batid din nila na umaasa ang kanilang mga fans na magkakabaligan sila sa huli.

Mangyari naman kaya ito?

“Siyempre hindi pa rin ako magkapagsasalita ng tapos ‘di ba, ‘di ko rin alam kung ano ang mangyayari in the future. Pero as of now i-enjoy lang muna namin ang ginagawang trabaho," sambit ng binata.


For the latest Philippine news stories and videos, visit GMANews.TV

Inihayag naman ni Jennylyn na walang nakakaalam kung ano ang magiging kapalaran nila ni Mark.

“Hindi naman natin kumbaga mapagdedesisyunan, hindi rin natin hawak ang destiny so kung ano man ang mangyayari tingnan lang natin, ika nga go with the flow," paliwanag ni Jen.

Hanggang ngayon, espesyal pa rin kung ituring nina Mark at Jen ang isa’t-isa.

“Lagi siyang may special place sa akin dahil siyempre kaibigan ko ‘yan. Kahit papaano marami na kaming pinagdaanan," ayon sa aktres.

Matinding na love story ang ipakikita nina Mark, Jen at co-star na si Pauleen Luna sa "Now that I Have You." Sa pictorial pa lang, matindi na ang tuksuhan dahil minsan ding na-link si Mark kay Pauleen.

Kamusta na nga ba ang reasyon ni Mark kay Pauleen?

“Parang kaming magkapatid…magkapatid kami kay (talent manager) Nanay Lolit (Solis), okey naman ang relationship namin ni Pau(leen), sobrang close din kami ni Pau," paliwanag ng aktor. - Fidel Jimenez, GMANews.TV

(the original korean telenovela)
From Korean Drama Guide: Drama & Movie Database
c/o kapusoloyalist

The first episode of Stairway to Heaven aired on February 5, 2004. A total of 20 episodes aired every Wednesday and Thursday night at 10 pm on SBS. This drama quickly became known as one that could bring on laughter and tears, pulling at viewer's heartstrings every time they watched. This TV miniseries was extremely well-received by audiences. Lead actress, Choi Ji-woo's immense popularity with young female audiences, along with a wonderful storyline has kept people talking long after the final episode aired.

Synopsis CHOLO =Song-ju (played by Kwon Sang-woo) and JODI = Jeong-seo (played by Choi Ji-woo) grew up together as close friends. Their parents close relationship gave them the feeling of being brother and sister as youngsters. As the only son of a wealthy executive of Global Group, Cholo went abroad to study management. Before leaving, the two childhood friends exchanged necklaces.

After suddenly losing his wife to illness, Jodi's father remarries Tae Mi-ra. For no reason Mi-ra's daughter Eunice seems to dislike Jodi from the very beginning and is often cruel to her. During this time of cruel treatment, Jodi is in a serious car accident, resulting in memory loss.

She remembers nothing of her childhood friend, Cholo and is unexpectedly reunited with him. The four young main characters Cholo, Jodi, Tristan, and Eunice all have different ways of expressing love, making each character unique. The show incorporates the beauty and sadness of love set in beautiful filming locations with sweet, mellow tunes on the soundtrack.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN -- THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
c/o kapusoloyalist

CHOLO

Managing department stores, theme parks and more, Cholo's character is a skilled businessman. While his true love and talent lie in playing the piano, being the only son a top executive left no choice but to follow in his father's footsteps, leaving the piano merely as a hobby. Infatuated with Jodi, he only plays for her.

JODI

Jodi is the only daughter of Han Gyo-su, who is in the construction field. Jodi has dreams of being a pianist, but ends up working at Global Group. Her mother died suddenly and her once simple yet happy home life became a distant memory.Circumstances beyond her control would lead her to hide her illness from others and continue to put others first, her kind-natured character always shining through. Difficulties at home with her stepmother and cruel treatment from her stepsister created an environment that made her bear the burden of her illness alone. Jodi has a gentle exterior, but a tough spirit. She loves only Cholo and waits for him.


TRISTAN

Mi-ra's son, Eunice's older brother, and most recently Jodi's step- brother who is working as an artist. Tristan takes little interest in others. His quiet, introverted nature adds to his mystique and makes his rugged appearance that much more attractive. He is highly self-conscious and has a tendency to approach a tough situation with a fist rather than with words, yet he is highly sympathetic. His life is filled with hatred towards the mother that abandoned him, Mi-ra. He has the sad fortune of falling in love with Jodi, who becomes the forbidden fruit as his stepsister.

EUNICE

As the daughter of Mi-ra, sister of Tristan and stepsister of Jodi, Eunice is working as a director at Global Group. She graduated with a master's degree in management from New York University. Eunice's charming and beautiful appearance mask this double-faced girl who is out to get what she wants at any cost.

She can't stand Jodi, who is in the way of her getting the man that she wants, Cholo. There is nothing stopping her evil nature.

Jennylyn Mercado braces for daring show with ex-BF
By JAJA RODRIGUEZ-DELEO
September 10, 2009, 3:30pm

Actress Jennylyn Mercado said her forthcoming project with her ex-boyfriend, actor Mark Herras, is bound to be more daring than her previous works.

The show that Jennylyn refers to is GMA-7 TV series “Now That I Have You,” which is set to replace “All My Life” soon.

“Hindi pa namin nakikita yung script pero nararamdaman ko, oo (mas daring 'to),” she said in a “Startalk” interview.

When asked if they are ready for talks of romantic reconciliation between them, Jennylyn said, “hindi naman po malayong mangyari iyon, kaya lang mas naka-focus kami ngayon sa show.”

“(At) ayokong magsalita ng tapos dahil malay natin, hindi natin alam kung ano ang mangyari sa amin.”

“Now That I Have You” is a story of two friends (played by Jennylyn and Pauleen Luna) who are both falling for the same guy (Mark Herras). The series will be directed by Joel Lamangan, who helmed 2006’s “Blue Moon,” which also starred Mark, Jennylyn, and Pauleen.

Apart from the series, Mark and Jennylyn will also be seen in “Babang Luksa,” a film produced by GMA Films and Reality Entertainment, coming in theaters on November 4.

Jennylyn recently hogged the news with her victory in all her two cases against former personal assistant Rowena “Mel” Pulmano. The cases include the dismissal of resolution for the qualified theft case filed by Jennylyn against Mel, and the dismissal of Mel’s robbery and child abuse case against Jennylyn.

Jennylyn will also be signing up with Viva Artist Agency for a recording, movie, and concert contract. She will still do TV shows for GMA-7 even without a contract “so long as these are good projects.”

The actress’ billboard for Belo Medical Group will be erected along EDSA in the coming days. She will also be on the cover of a men’s magazine next month.

Jennylyn Mercado, hindi nagpapaapekto sa pressure



Jennylyn Mercado is ending her 'Dear Friend' stint—and starting a new show on prime time soon. Sa pictorial ng 'Ikaw Sana', kinausap namin si Jen on what her fans should expect sa dalawa niyang shows. Text by Jason John S. Lim; with Interviews by Erick P. Mataverde. Photos by Mio de Castro.

stars"Ako si Eliza, 'yung nakababatang kapatid ni Pauleen [Luna]," Jennylyn Mercado says in introduction of her character sa susunod na original series ng GMA-7, ang Ikaw Sana. "Ako sa probinsya, siya sa Maynila, tapos magkakaroon ng love triangle between sa aming magkapatid—and kay Mark [Herras]."

May mga bago bang aabangan ang fans ng Mark-Jen love team sa show na ito?

"Wala. Lagi naman akong mahirap e," biro ng tumatawang si Jennylyn. "Ganoon pa rin naman." Sabi pa nga ni Jen, kung sa Paano ba ang Mangarap? ay nagtitinda siya ng chicharon, tinapa naman ang ititinda niya ngayon.

Pero, in all seriousness, may bagong challenge na haharapin si Jen sa soap na ito—ang makipagsabayan sa comic timing ni Joey Paras. "Si Afi," ang pakilala ni Jen, who will play her best friend sa show.

"Ta-try kong sabayan siya sa ganyan—kaya nga ako artista," Jennylyn says.

She adds na hindi na daw siya nagpapaapekto sa pressure ngayon. "Hindi ko na iniisip," she explains sa amin. "Kumbaga, iniisip ko na lang na maportray ko ng maayos 'yung role ko, pag-aaralan 'yung character. Pero walang pressure."

Sa pagsisimula ng isa na namang soap na pagbibidahan nila ni Mark, Jennylyn is thankful na lagi pa ring nakaantabay ang kanilang mga fans:

"Siyempre thankful kami na hindi nila kami iniwan. Tsaka nandiyan lang sila para sa amin, kahit na anong pinagdaanan namin, andyan lang sila para sumuporta. Thank you, thank you so much. Sana hindi kayo magsawa."

"’Yun lang. Sana suportahan nila, subaybayan nila at mahalin nila itong soap namin. Sana matuwa sila," she ends.

At sa pagtatapos naman ng Dear Friend, Jennylyn invites viewers to tune in this Sunday.

She says, "'yung message nung buong story, sacrifice. Parang, sacrifice mo para sa mahal mo sa buhay, ganyan. ‘Yung understanding between mommy and daughter, tapos sa relationship nila kung paano sila magmahalan."

As for what will happen on Sunday, Jennylyn says you'll just have to watch and see. "Kasi medyo magkakaroon talaga ng twist e. Unpredictable kasi."

Ikaw Sana begins airing on September 21, before 24 Oras. While Dear Friend: Karibal airs its last episode this Sunday, September 13, after SOP.
