Larger than television

It will be more like a film than a boob-tube fare. Or so revealed Benedict Mique, the head writer of Mario O'Hara's upcoming TV7  miniseries Sa Ngalan ng Ina topbilled by Ms. Nora Aunor.

When reached for comment by this blog's moderator, Mique replied, "If you are a fan of HBO series, parang ganun ang style nito, mas film ang approach ng script at mounting ni direk." As headwriter, Mique says "the challenge is to make all the characters relevant sa story at the same time to make twist and turns that are different from other soaps logical. The creative team is composed of writers from different background and influence so making characters that are not in the usual mode of soap operas was a welcome treat."

Regarding Ms. Nora's role as a grieving widow in search of justice for her assassinated husband and as governor in a province wracked by political turmoil, Mique said: "It was not hard to make a character for Ms. Nora Aunor because we know whatever we make she can pull off. Ibig sabihin walang limitation and, actually, kami ang naging cautious dahil baka hindi enough ang binibigay namin sa kanya, given that she's a great actress."

  1. I hope that this series will be released in many parts of the world. After all, Nora Aunor is known internationally as a film actress of note. And please release this series on high-definition DVD.

  2. I agree with you, Edna May. Why don't we send e-mails to TV5 and make them know that many would buy a DVD of "Sa Ngalan ng Ina."
