“Tadhana” has been on TV for five years and host Marian Rivera is thankful for the continued success viewers to the weekly drama anthology on GMA.
“Maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyong walang sawang pagsubaybay sa loob ng limang taon,” Marian said. “Totoo namang hindi laging masaya — may mga kuwento ng pagkabigo, mayroon ding tagumpay. Mayroon ding [kuwentong] magbibigay-inspirasyon at maraming pagkakataon. Ang importante, sa huli, laging may gintong aral na makukuha at mas nagpapalakas sa atin. Hindi man laging masaya ang buhay, mas malakas, mas matatag, at mas matatapang naman tayo ngayon sa anumang hamon ng buhay. Kaya saan man kayo dalhin ng Tadhana, kapit lang, Kapuso” she added.
Every Saturday, Tadhana celebrates the stories of Filipinos’ triumphs over seemingly insurmountable adversities. Each episode features compelling stories starring some of the country’s biggest stars. To mark its fifth year, the show is presenting a three-part anniversary episode this October.
It starts with “Baliw na Puso” headlined by Raymond Bagatsing, Vaness del Moral, Lianne Valentin, and Mylene Dizon. Joining them are Via Antonio, Tart Carlos, Erlinda Villalobos, and Simon Ibarra. The three-part story is penned by Adam Cornelius Asin and head writer Erwin Caezar Bravo. Rommel Penesa directs the anniversary special.
Amy’s (Mylene) life revolves around her baby Marjorie (Lianne) but they get separated by accident. As years pass, Amy realizes she needs a lot of money to find her daughter. She works hard until she and her mother Maribeth (Erlinda) become rich.
Twenty years later, despite Amy’s wealth, Marjorie remains missing. Until one day, Amy meets Dennis (Raymond), a policeman who helps in the case of finding Marjorie. The couple settles down. But their relationship soon takes a dark turn.
“Tadhana” airs every Saturday, 3:15 p.m. on GMA.
