Legal drama “Ipaglaban Mo” returns this June on TFC worldwide

QUEZON CITY, Philippines - June 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Atty. Jose Sison, alongside his son Joseph Peter “Jopet” Sison, once again empowers Kapamilyas with knowledge of their legal rights and obligations as the 1990’s hit legal drama anthology “Ipaglaban Mo” returns on The Filipino Channel (TFC) worldwide this Saturday, June 7 (Sunday, June 8 Australia [AEST], Guam, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand Standard Time [NZST] and Singapore).

Aside from legal advice, the show’s compelling dramatization of real-life events that captivated viewers made it one of the longest-running programs on TV in the 90’s.  The show’s slogan, “Kapag may katwiran…ipaglaban mo!” is a Filipino household hit up to this day.  The show aired until 1998.

Atty. Sison is more than optimistic that viewers will embrace the show’s comeback again.  “Hopefully it will become a hit once more so that a lot more of our countrymen will be educated,” he wrote in his column in a national broadsheet.

Every storyline to be shown in “Ipaglaban Mo” has gone through meticulous supervision of today’s respected directors, including Congressman Lino Cayetano, Eric Quizon, Ricky Rivero, Rechie Del Carmen, Erik Salud, and Manny Palo, who directs the pilot episode.

For its premiere offering entitled “Hindi Ko Sinasadya, Yaya,” “Ipaglaban Mo” tackles children’s rights and the age of discernment through the story of a seven-year old RJ (Izzy Canillo), who accidentally shoots his nanny, Yaya Miling (Shamaine Buencamino).

Micmic (Michelle Vito), Yaya Miling’s only child, seeks justice for her mother, but how can she win her legal battle if the accused is a minor and the crime committed is an accident?

Also joining the cast in the pilot are Lara Quigaman, James Blanco, and Dionne Monsanto.
