Magkaribal, the Philippine fashion series about love, revenge and family is now drawing to a close. This week is going to be its last. This fashionserye features Angel Aquino, Bea Alonzo and Gretchen Barreto all caught up in a complicated mess of revenge, betrayal and retribution. It all begins when Victoria’s (Gretchen Barreto) dad leaves their family for Vera (Angel Aquino). As if this wasn’t enough as a result of a freak accident, their mom dies. Hurt and betrayed, Victoria runs away bringing her little sister Angela with her. But by a cruel twist of fate the sisters get separated. Fast forward 20 years later and Victoria is now a successful fashion icon, while Angela is a talented new designer. Victoria came back to the Philippines seeking to destroy Vera. But because of Vera’s clever manipulation, she puts Victoria and Angela head on with each other. Vera knows that they are sisters and making them go against each other is part of her master plan to destroy them both. This series truly is another feather in ABS-CBN’s cap. As always, their stars’ acting is superb. Kapamilya talents are really well trained. But I have to say, Angel Aquino really stands out in this series. She just knows how to portray emotion so well. Frustration, hate, anger, loathing…you see them all clearly. And after all these years, she still is very beautiful. How I’d love to age like that.
This teleserye has kept me glued to the tv screen night after night. And as it finally draws to a close I can only hope that its ending will be one spectacular event.
