-By Crispina Martinez-Belen (www.mb.com.ph)

MANILA, Philippines — “Broken Vow,” a story of love, betrayal and revenge, premieres today, Feb. 6, as GMA-7’s initial drama offering for 2012. Featured in the network’s afternoon prime block are some of GMA’s prime stars: Bianca King, Gabby Eigenmann, Luis Alandy and Rochelle Pangilinan.

Completing the powerhouse cast are Marco Alcaraz, Juan Rodrigo, Carmi Martin, Matet de Leon, Jace Flores, Pancho Magno, Lou Sison, Melissa Mendez, Kryshee Grencia and Ms. Celia Rodriguez. It is directed by Gil Tejada Jr. and created and written by Dode Cruz.

Bianca said, “Ibang-ibang Bianca King ang makikita ninyo sa show na ito… Ang character ko, dadaan sa physical and emotional abuse, kaya mahirap ang mga eksena ko dito…”

For his part, Gabby said, “In ‘Munting Heredera,’ I was a bad guy as Desmond. This time around, ibang character ang ita-tackle ko, hindi ako villain ngayon.”

Rochelle said, “I’m so happy na binigyan ako ulit ng isang pagkakataon na makasama ang mga magagaling na artista sa GMA.”

“Broken Vow” tells the story of Melissa, an attractive and street-smart woman who becomes the apple of the eye of Roberto, a rich councilor who falls madly in love with the unpretentious probinsiyana. Despite the differences in their status in life, the two manage to keep their relationship strong and even plan to settle down together. But their love affair is suddenly jeopardized when Melissa encounters a horrifying experience.

“Broken Vow” pilot episode airs today right after “Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin” on GMA Afternoon Prime.

Iya Villania Covers Health Today Philippines Magazine February 2012 Issue

Fit and healthy Kapamilya host Iya Villania covers Health Today Magazine February 2012 issue

Although she has basically been on cam everyday throughout her nine-year showbiz career, Iya Villania has yet to be the subject of any gossip or intrigues. The 25-year-old is a recognizable face on local television, with regular hosting duties on shows like Umagang Kay Ganda, Us Girls, ASAP Rocks and I Dare You. But this celebrity still makes sure to keep some parts of her life away from the public eye. 

At 16, the pretty Fil-Aussie beauty originally moved to the country to become a singer. But fate had other plans for her. “I came here to try it out talaga in showbiz. I actually came here to be a performer. That’s what I wanted in life, pero hindi yun ’yung ginusto ni Lord para sa akin (laughs). My first [jobs] were ads for a telecom and I also did something for a soda drink. He made me a dancer, an actress, a host, everything but what I actually wanted to do,” she admits. 

In between jobs, Iya finished her studies on time and graduated with a Psychology degree from De La Salle University. “School was something I promised my parents and myself. I wanted to secure that first talaga. Kasi sayang lang ’yung nasimulan ko eh. Kaya talagang napilitan akong pagsabayin kahit mahirap,” she says. After landing her first regular gig as the host of Game Channel in 2003, Iya says it didn’t take her long to get settled in Manila. “I was never really scared because I look[ed] forward to new experiences,” she says.
