Two families will fight for love in the newest family drama starring Xian Lim, Yam Concepcion, and Kim Chiu in “Love Thy Woman,” which premieres on ABS-CBN this February 10 (Monday).

The series features the much-awaited teleserye comeback of Kim and Xian’s love team, marks their first time working with Yam after her breakout role in “Halik,” and brings together a star-studded cast that includes Eula Valdes, Sunshine Cruz, Zsazsa Padilla, Ruffa Gutierrez, and Christopher De Leon.

It revolves around a modern Filipino-Chinese family headed by patriarch Adam (Christopher), who is determined to keep his family intact despite having two of them. He lives with his first wife Lucy (Eula) and their daughter Dana (Yam), while his second family, Kai (Sunshine) and Jia (Kim), lives separately.
Even if the two wives have long accepted their situation, conflict continues to brew between them – a rivalry that will spill over to their daughters.

Their clan is put to test when one fateful night, Dana and her husband David (Xian) get involved in a road accident after their wedding, putting her in a coma.

In the absence of her half-sister, Jia finds herself falling in love with David. This will cause of a series of events that will threaten their family’s already complicated set-up.

What happens when Dana wakes up? Until when will Adam try to keep his whole family intact?
“Love Thy Woman,” directed by Jeffrey Jeturian, Andoy Ranay, and Jerry Lopez Sineneng, is produced by Dreamscape Entertainment. The cast also includes Jana Victoria, Jennifer Sevilla, Chienna Filomena, China Yoo, David Chua, Shido Roxas, Tim Yap, Kimberly Tan, Mari Kaimo, Tori Garcia, Turs Daza, and Karl Gabriel.

The movie has even earned the respect of other film thespians such as Director Wenn Deramas “Napakaganda - comedy and drama. Napakahusay nilang tatlo. Di sayang ang perang gagamitin ninyo (It’s a good combination of comedy and drama. The three stars were good. It’s worth your money.”
Directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal, “Everything About Her” has been earning not only box office numbers but as well as good reviews across audiences. Myx VJ Ai said “Combination ng comedy and drama. Ibang-iba ang pagkaka-portray ng movie. One of the best local films I’ve ever seen. Ang daming matutunan dito (It’s a combination of comedy and drama. The movie was set-up differently. It’s one of the best local films I have ever seen. You will learn a lot.”

Saturday was something that we Moms are supposed to be in the house but since this certain event is quite early and it will not take most of my day, I did grab the opportunity to be present here.  This was the blogger's conference for the My Cactus Heart.  A time and a chance for bloggers to ask and have a chat with the cast of the film.  The only hassle is that it's not easy waking up and prepare early morning.

Casts and director did their introduction.  Later on everyone shoot their questions.  It started from simple questions about the movie, then later on made its way to the open relationship of the love team.  Everyone laughed and giggled as the couple answered every questions.


Love is such a "thorny" issue! Nakakasakit, nakakasugat, nakakatinik.  Now if the one you love believes in that, can there still be a happy ending?

'Yan and kwento ng pinakabagong pelikula mula sa Star Cinema, ang "My Cactus Heart"!  It is top billed by the country's most exciting stars, Matteo Guidicelli, Xian Lim and Maja Salavador!  Tungkol ito sa isang babae  (Maja as Sandy) na mula sa magulong pamilya.  She doesn't believe in happily ever after.  Tanggap n'ya at naniniwqala s'ya na love only hurts kaya she is known to be a chronic mambabasted!  But what if someone comes along and will make her question what she believes in?  Ano ang gagawin n'ya?  Can that someone change her jaded heart?


"This is Maja at her best!" 'yan ang sabi ng mg anakapanoon na ng rushes ng "My Cactus Heart".  Not surprising at all since we all know that Maja is one of the most talented actresses we have around.  Maja is so versatile!  She can do drama, comedy, horror, romance.  Her teleseryes last 2011 were all top-raters ("Impostor", "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin"), and she has another big teleserye for this year, "Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin".  Kung talent ang pag-uusapan, hindi madedehado si Maja d'yan!  As for Matteo, "My Cactus Heart" is his first starring role.  We have all seen him in his past teleseryes too and he has indeed proven that he is more than just a pretty face.  As Karlo, we can now all see why Matteo could just be the next important male lead star!  Introducing naman sa pelikula si Xian Lim, one of the most promising new male stars of today.  Xian's brooding stance made us all notice that he's got the "it" and he deserves a second look!  He plays the role of Bene, one of the two men who will try to win over Sandy's heart.  Now, Karlo or Bene?  Sino sa kanila ang makakapagpabago kay Sandy?  Who can make her believe that there is "happily ever after"?


Exciting love story, fresh casting combination!  'Yan ang "My Cactus Heart" na ipinagmamalaking handog ng Star Cinema.  Directed by Enrico Santos, the movie opens nationwide in over 100 theaters on January 25.  Eto na "ang pinaka-matinik na love story" ngayong 2012!


To give viewers, readers, and fans a tease, here's a portion of the blogger's conference that transpired in Max's Restaurant in Scout Tuazon, Quezon City.
