Throwback: Ivana, Gerald and Sam in “A Family Affair” (2022)

ABS-CBN Studios

“A Family Affair” follows the story of Cherry Red (Ivana Alawi), who inherits a property from the richest family of the town when the family matriarch mysteriously dies. She becomes part of the lives of the Estrella brothers Paco (Gerald Anderson), Dave (Sam Milby), Seb (Jake Ejercito), and Drew (Jameson Blake), who develop unique relationships with her, especially Paco and Dave. The series reveals the truth about Cherry’s inheritance and exposes deep buried secrets and murders in the past. The teleserye’s scenic location, Masbate, possesses a chic country-living landscape that adds to the story’s sensual vibe. It’s the setting of the Estrella clan&#x27;s fictional mansion and ranch. Masbate is beautiful beyond words that even the actors are amazed by its white-sand beaches, rolling hills, and ranches.  “A Family Affair” boasts an ensemble cast including acting virtuosos Edu Manzano, Ana Abad-Santos, Lito Pimentel, and with the special participation of Dawn Zulueta. Directed by Jerome Pobocan and Raymond Ocampo, the Kapamilya series also stars Aya Fernandez, Rans Rifol, Heaven Peralejo, and Mona Alawi, Ivana’s sister, playing her younger version.
