“Maria Flor de Huya” says MC while her Kuya B5 says “Maria Flor de Taypee.” My family is currently fixated with the tele novella Maria Flor De Luna. Flor de Luna is a re-make of a late 70s Flor de Luna TV show of which the child actors and actresses are about my age, Herbert Bautista (now the Vice Mayor of Quezon City) as Reneboy and Janice de Belen as Flor. Their step mother was Laurice Guillen as Jo Espero - Alicante. Just writing this blog makes me quiver and shout “Ang baduy ko!” but I’ll continue to watch it anyway. It’s our family bonding time.
Now about The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. I’m currently reading three good books and one of them is this one. I’m about 1/3 into the book and this gets parked often because of the other equally good books am reading. In his book, M. Gladwell mentioned about the Laws of Connectors and I will be attempting to put his theory into application using Maria Flor de Luna as an example.
The star of the show, Flor de Luna was first played by Janice de Belen whose estranged husband is John Estrada. J. Estrada is now General Gary Alvarado in the remake. Estrada was de Belen’s “tormentor” in real life while he is the “tormentor” in the reel life of the current Flor. His father is General Alvarado played by Johnny Delgado who is married in real life to Laurice Giullen who played Jo Espero – Alicante in the original version.
Whoa! That was a challenge. But wait, there’s more! Dona Brigida is played by Liza Lorena whose son Tonton Gutierrez lives in the same condominium that we’re staying in Makati. At least we’re living in the same building with the son, not the Dona Brigida herself. She won’t be bothering me while I finish reading The Tipping Point book.
