Ika-6 Na Utos premieres on GMA Dec. 5
GMA Network opens December with an intriguing masterpiece that discusses love in different forms with the Afternoon Prime series Ika-6 Na Utos which premieres on Dec. 5, directed by Laurice Guillen.
It tells about the story of Emma, the rightful wife who fights to keep her husband from leaving her for his mistress.
Sunshine Dizon is Emma, a sweet and cheerful souvenir merchant who falls deeply in love with a pilot and marries him.
“Also, what’s nice about Ika-6 Na Utos is it’s a story of most women out there who are silently suffering. We hope that through the show, we will be able to help them somehow to realize that there are still many things to do. There are still lots of options in life,” Sunshine said.
Gabby Concepcion is Rome, a refined pilot and Emma’s husband who fights for his love for her despite his mother’s disapproval.
“At this point in my career, I want to do a TV series that has a message and there are lessons to impart to the viewers,” he said.
Rome and Emma’s relationship is the kind everyone dreams about. But just like any other relationships, problems and issues arise that put their marriage in jeopardy. Rome widens his circle with his career success while Emma focuses on taking good care of their family.
Because of this, Rome meets Georgia, portrayed by Ryza Cenon, a sexy and ambitious interior designer. She flirts with Rome and eventually becomes his mistress.
Ryza considers playing the role of Georgia as an avenue to showcase the other story of a kept woman.
Ika-6 Na Utos also stars Mike Tan as Angelo, Flor’s older brother, who plans to help Emma and eventually develops feelings for her; Rich Asuncion as Flor, Emma’s liberated best friend who the latter considers her sister; Daria Ramirez as Lourdes, Emma’s weak mother who she loves and understands the most; Carmen Soriano as Margarita, the sophisticated mother-in-law of Emma who belittles her because of her social class; Marco Alcaraz as Chandler, Rome’s co-pilot and confidante; Mel Martinez as Zeny, the righthand man of Margarita; and Arianne Bautista as Selma, Georgia’s friend.
