What measure of hatred would provoke a child to utter the words, “Ina, Kasusuklaman Ba Kita?”

What measure of hatred would provoke a child to utter the words, “Ina, Kasusuklaman Ba Kita?”



Sinenovela’s initial offering this 2010 will be unprecedented in the annals of television drama as it redefines love, commitment, and sacrifice – words all commonly ascribed to a mother’s relationship to her child.



In Gilda Olvidado’s Ina, Kasusuklaman Ba Kita?, the mother-daughter tandem of Jean and Jennica Garcia leads a dynamic cast of prominent veteran and young actors and actresses including Ariel Rivera, Llyod Samartino, Luis Alandy, Karla Estrada, Richard Quan, Regine Tolentino, Dion Ignacio, LJ Reyes, Iwa Moto, and Paulo Avelino in a story of a mother struggling to do right by her children.



Jean Garcia is right up her alley as she plays the ambitious and strong-willed Alvina while Jennica, on the other hand, crosses over from romantic-comedy to drama as she portrays the fragile and kind-hearted Rizzi. They will be reprising the roles played by Rita Gomez and Lorna Tolentino in this TV version of the renowned 80’s blockbuster hit.



Alvina Montenegro (Jean Garcia) has three children - Rav (Dion Ignacio), Rossan (Iwa Moto), and Rizzi (Jennica Garcia) - all by different fathers. Despite such unconventional set-up, Alvina fully embraces her duties as a mother and only has the best interest of her family at heart.



Of the three, Alvina is closest to Rizzi, who, unlike Rav and Rossan, grew up without the privilege of having a father around. Until one day, a man by the name of Daniel Bustamante (Ariel Rivera) arrives at Alvina’s doorstep and claims to be Rizzi’s father.



Owing to her materialistic nature, Alvina downgrades Daniel’s capability as a father due to his financial instability. Days before her eighteenth birthday, Rizzi plans a rendezvous with Daniel in order for them to finally be together, as well as to break free from Alvina’s manipulative ways.



Desperate to prove himself to Alvina, Daniel dabbles in business but in the process, ends up losing all of his hard-earned savings, which prompts him to commit a crime. He ends up in jail causing him to miss what might have been his last chance to finally be with his daughter.



Life goes on for Alvina and her children but nothing is the same again. Alvina is able to convince Rizzi that Daniel has abandoned her but at what cost? Rossan’s rich politician dad turns his back at her, while Rav’s mental condition – a result of a traumatic incident as a child – becomes worse forcing him to risk his own life. As a result, Alvina couldn’t help but blame herself for the misfortune of her children, and categorizes herself as a failure in being a mother.



After all that is said and done, can Alvina still find enough faith and fortitude to rebuild her family? More importantly, can she find it in her heart to forgive herself before she can forgive the people around her?



Sinenovela’s latest installment is under the direction of Gil Tejada while its theme song is composed by world-renowned violinist Alfonso “Coke” Bolipata.
