Alessandra de Rossi returns to television as a mother who pleads for the life of her daughter who was held hostage by her husband in an intense “MMK” episode this Saturday (July 16).

  
As a child, Emily (Alessandra) went through the difficult experience of being abandoned by her father. Having no father to look up to while growing up, Emily promised herself that she will not let her children suffer the same fate. However, after Emily gives birth to her first child Cheska (Xyriel Manabat), her first husband left her for another woman.

Emily met Larry (Joem Bascon) a few years later and fell in-love with one another. They eventually got married and had two children, Rose (Alora Sasam) and Chona (Joan Bugcat). Emily believed all’s well in her life until she learned that Larry has been taking illegal drugs.

  
One day, while Emily was out of the house, Larry enters their home and takes Cheska as hostage. How will Emily face this ordeal?

Also starring in this “MMK” episode are Maris Racal, Maureen Mauricio, Rez Cortez, and Zarah Mae Dilegoro. The episode is directed by Dondon Santos and written by Nikki Bunquin. “MMK” is led by business unit head Malou Santos.
