Aside from its ratings success, “MMK” also shone brighter when the prestigious 2013 New York Festivals (NYF) World’s Best Television and Film named Kapamilya teen actress Jane Oineza as one of the nominees in its Best Performance By An Actress category. Jane was the lead actress in the controversial “Manika” episode last year that shared the tale of a young girl named Nene who was raped by her stepdad in front of her mother.

“It was ‘MMK’ that gave me a big break. It was my first lead role and I really gave my best when I did the episode,” said Jane. “It’s really a huge honor to be part of ‘MMK.’ We all know that each of its episode has a heart and has a lesson to be learned. Each of its tale is really well-crafted.”

Meanwhile, “MMK” gives TV viewers another heavy family drama episode this Saturday (February 23), which will be starred by premiere veteran actress Boots Anson-Roa. In the story, Boots will play the role of Tesa, a lady who was raped by her elder brother but chose to hide the truth for the sake of her family.

Joining Boots in the upcoming “MMK” episode are Assunta De Rossi, Dimples Romana, Sofia Andres, Allan Paule, Lito Pimentel, Carl John Barrameda, Lander Vera Perez, Laisa Comia, Jillian Aguila, Eda Nolan, and Tess Antonio. It was researched by Alex Martin, written by Benson Logronio and Arah Jell Badayos, and directed by Czarina Mae Cruz.
