Last January
16, 2012, Television Network Net 25
of Eagle Broadcasting Corporation
had its presscon for its first-ever teleserye , “5 Girls and A Dad”.
It was one
of dream come true when I got the chance to be among the guests of this
launched because I am so proud to tell you that the writer for this teleserye
is none other than, the multi awarded writer Ms. Lualhati Bautista. I am more than proud to have the chance to
have met and tell her that me and my husband collects all the books she had
written.
This
light-drama series is very timely because it focuses on family values and the
growing percentage that there is a rise in number of “single-parent families”
“5 Girls and a Dad” is about A single father and
taxi-driver operator Enzo ( played by Richard Quan) who after the death of
his wife (played by Lara Quigaman) is left with no choice but to be the mother
and father to her 5 kids. His wife here died right after giving birth with
their youngest daughter.
The
challenge here in the story is that it is narrated in a different light. We are
accustomed to stories in which the mother is always the one left to look after
the kids. But this time the father here is faced with the challenge of being
the single father.
During the Q
& A with the press, I asked Richard Quan the preparations he had to do for
the role. He said that he didn’t have problem with the character he is trying
to portray here since he had experience being around his nieces and nephews and
that’s where getting all the necessary emotions that his character needs. He
also shared that he even practiced driving a taxi to get the feel of the
character of being a taxi driver.
The director
, veteran megman and producer ELSON MONTALBO and Net25 shared that it took this
long for them to finally air a teleserye because they had to keep within its
corporate mission and philosophy of offering only values-driven, 100%
family-oriented wholesome programming.
Net25 is careful in bringing only good
values to its Filipino audience.
