Margarita

The boldest and the most controversial teleserye to date, starring the much talked about housemate. Margarita is a story of young lady who, in her desire to give her family the best life she can imagine, ends up working as a showgirl. She gets paid by giving entertainment and enticing the fantasies of many men. But deep inside, Margarita dreams of a better life and longs for happiness and true love.

Margarita (Wendy Valdez) is a tough woman who, at a young age, experienced several difficulties in life. She was just a little girl when his father (Dick Israel) left their mother (Rio Locsin) for another woman (Elizabeth Oropesa). As the eldest in the family, Margarita shouldered the responsibility of being the breadwinner. She only has her childhood friend, Rodrigo (Bruce Quebral) by her side as she struggles through life's difficulties. Along the way, Margarita will meet Bernard (Diether Ocampo), a rich and influential man who will eventually fall in love with her. Margarita will later find herself torn not only between these two men, but also between her dream of happiness and her desire of revenge.

At the helm of this daring teleserye are three seasoned directors: Trina Dayrit, Eric Salud, and FM Reyes. Other featured actors are Nonie Buencamino, Dexter Doria, Keanna Reeves, Joseph Bitangcol, John Manalo, and Sharlene San Pedro. Don't forget to watch Margarita on Primetime Bida beginning July 30th.
