Halatang masayang-masaya si Mark Anthony Fernandez sa magandang takbo ng kanyang primetime show sa GMA-7, ang Munting Heredera.

Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at ng iba pang entertainment press si Mark sa kanilang set sa lumang bahay ng LVN matriarch na si Doña Narcisa de Leon sa New Manila, Quezon City, noong July 15.

Dito, sinabi ni Mark na kumportable siya sa kanyang mga nakakatrabaho, lalo na sa tatlong child actresses na sina Mona Louise Rey, Kyle Danielle Ocampo, Barbara Miguel; at sa kanyang leading lady na si Camille Prats.

"Yung tatlong bata, talagang mababait sila. Tapos parang naging friends na din kami, so nakakatuwa naman.

"Kaya pagdating sa eksena, parang mas madali yung mga scenes namin dahil meron na kaming rapport.

"Si Camille, way back then nakapagtrabaho na kami, yung time na nag-guest ako sa Okie Doki Dok!

"Siguro mga tatlong beses 'ata yun, tapos acquaintance din kami talaga," kuwento ni Mark.

MUNTING HEREDERA. Mai-extend pa ng limang linggo ang naturang palabas. Ito daw ay dahil sa magagandang feedback na nakukuha ng show mula sa mga tao.

Ano naman ang reaksyon ni Mark tungkol dito?

"Nakakatuwa nga, e!" bulalas niya.

"Parang yung mga tao, masyado nilang na-appreciate yung Munting Heredera, unexpectedly.

"So, talagang nakaka-surprise, nakakataba talaga ng puso."

Pero giit niya, utang daw nila ang magandang feedback na ito mula sa mga writer at direktor ng show.

Aniya, "Kailangan kong batiin yung mga writers namin, dahil kung hindi dahil sa kanila, hindi magiging ganito kaganda yung show, napakagaling nila.

"At siyempre si Maryo J. [de los Reyes], hindi masasadula [yung show] kung wala siya."

Sampu sampera na lang ang mga awards ngayon. Wala nang credibility ang marami diyan. What is important is MAY TRABAHO ka. Artista ka umaakting ka. You are lucky MARK dahil nakabalik ka sa showbiz despite your VERY checkered past. Imagine, leading man ka pa rin pero iyong mga kasabayan mo mga second lead na lang. It proved that you cannot put a good actor down. Magaling ka kasi kaya nandidiyan ka pa rin. More power to you.

i love munting heredera. nung umpisa, di ko masyadong natutukan pero habang tumatagal gumaganda rin. and it also helps that the show comes after amaya so stay put ka na lang sa harap ng tv dahil high ka pa sa amaya. but of course undeniably, maganda ang story. hindi nakaka-insulto sa sensibilities ng viewers kaya patok na patok!

Because of his erratic,drug induced behaviour before, Mark Anthony was literally reduced to the sidelines by John Lloyd Cruz, Piolo Pascual and Jericho Rosales sa ABS-CBN. That's why pumunta sya sa GMA7.Naging spectator na lang sya, as he watched JLC,Piolo and Jericho go up the stage to recieve their many acting awards and in JLC's case his box-office king awards. I hope it is not too late for Mark Anthony to regain his movie career.

Si Mark Anthony Fernandez ang CLASSIC EXAMPLE ng isang artistang lumaki ang ulo dahil sa kasikatan. Ngayon hanggang TV na lang ang career nya. Wala nang movie producer ang nagbibigay sa kanya ng mga roles dahil sa grabeng unproffesionalism nya dati. Sabi ng fans, nagbago na sya, hindi na sya nagda-drugs. Good, pero wala pa rin syang movies, kahit ang GMA films wala rin paki sa kanya. Hindi ba sya nagtataka dito?
