Net25 First and Newest Teleserye "5 Girls and a Dad" to conquer TV Viewing on January 23, 2012

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.

 

The 5 Girls played by : L-R: Chesca Salcedo, 

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.
