Last night viewers have seen the return of the country's one and only Superstar in the small screen via TV5's miniserye Sa Ngalan ng Ina.
Sa Ngalan ng Ina, opened with a political tension brewing in a quaint provincial setting. Nora's character is the wife of Bembol Rocco who is running for the gubernatorial seat. And true to the country's political setting, Bembol's character was killed during a political rally after a bomb exploded.
The breakdown scene showed Nora's intense performance, making me realize how she has raised the bar for exemplary acting and evolved a style that can be called her own.
The Superstar's performance is not just about crying. It's all about giving the proper emotions required by the scene. It's not exaggerated. It's between Jacklyn Jose's subtle acting and Vilma Santo's hysterical style.
I must also commend the supporting casts, who have complemented well the presence of the Superstar. Eugene Domingo showed her acting flare, not overshadowed by Nora whom she shared the scene with.
Christopher de Leon has yet to take centerstage. Rosanna Roces is expected to portray an intense villain in the show, and I am hoping that she'll shy away from the mental cum insane style of villains often seen on TV.
Nadine Samonte is also good here, while Edgar Allan Guzman has proved he's acting trophy a worthy one.
And to quote PEP, directors Mario O' Hara and John Red are able to capture the raw, rustic charm of a probinsiya; and the drama, tension, and violence of politics in just one episode.
Kudos TV5!
