“Maalaala Mo Kaya” will empower TV viewers this Saturday (November 16) as it retells the life story of Miss Universe 2010 4th runner-up Venus Raj.

Discover the trials that Venus had to go through before she represented the Philippines in the international beauty pageant. How did she deal with the public’s criticisms about her dusky complexion and rise above the nasty bullying at school and in the ‘real world?’ Where did Venus derive her strength to overcome her bad childhood experience? Together with Venus in “MMK” are Amy Nobleza, Malou de Guzman, Perla Bautista, Simon Ibarra, Mariel Pamintuan, Kelly Misa, Gio Alvarez, and Linn Oeymo. The episode was researched by Alex Martin, written by Benson Logronio, and directed by Nuel Crisostomo Naval. “MMK” is led by production manager Roda Dela Cerna, and executive producers Cathy San Pedro and Lindzay Dizon. Don’t miss “MMK” Saturday nights, after “Wansapanataym” on ABS-CBN.
