Finding a common schedule for Shaina Magdayao and Vina Morales was a logistical problem but the staff of Maalala Mo Kaya made it their mission to bring together the two stars for the upcoming episode of MMK.
For the first time, real-life sisters Vina and Shaina play reel-life sisters in the drama anthology this Friday, September 14.
Shaina plays Onay, a mentally retarded person beset by a major tragedy in her life. Vina plays Elsa, the older sister, who will do anything to protect her. It was not easy to get them together for this very special episode because of their grueling schedules. The sisters will be joined by Wowie De Guzman and Christian Vasquez. Under the direction of Nuel Naval, this episode continues MMK's tradition of having innovative and surprise casting coups the show is known for the past 16 years.
