<p>A day after the teaser for the upcoming <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/maalaalamokaya"><strong><u>Maalaala Mo Kaya</u></strong></a> episode this coming Saturday was released, its stars Hero Angeles, Marlo Mortel, and Sky Quizon graced ABS-CBN Entertainment’s <strong>Hotspot</strong> on Thursday, March 31, to talk about their experiences in working together and in the said episode, as well as enthusiastically played the “Game of Phones Challenge”.</p><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="701" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/94fs9elXj_8" title="YouTube video player" width="1246"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>Tagged #MMKVilladarezBrothers it will follow the story of three brothers who are willing to sacrifice and do everything for their beloved grandmother, played by veteran actress Peewee O’Hara. When asked what the viewers should watch out for in this episode, Hero uttered that it’s definitely the narrative itself that will surely inspire a lot of people. </p><p>While it marks Sky’s first MMK episode and lead role stint after winning the “Cast A Star” online contest in KUMU, this actually serves as the first acting project of Marlo in two years after keeping himself preoccupied with his KUMU livestreams and music. Thus, Marlo is happy to work with them and excited for the people to witness the amount of love they poured on this project.</p><p>Working with Hero is nothing new to Marlo anymore since they used to be part of a program of another network, through which they’re able to showcase their hosting and musical flair. Even though they didn’t talk about how they’ll execute the scenes off-cam, it really delighted and surprised him that they’re still able to complement one another and build a good chemistry.</p><p>Hero, on the other hand, is actually the type who would always want to know beforehand who his co-stars in a project are. Thus, he was excited when he found out that Marlo would be a part of it, too, as this was his first time to witness him act. He also looked forward to finding out how they’re going to interpret the story and give justice to their respective characters.</p><p>With regards to Sky, the <strong>Star Circle Teen Quest Season 1</strong> winner divulged that he already heard, watched, and knew about him on television. Since they weren’t able to huddle prior to the filming of the episode, they only got the chance to bond and exchange stories about themselves and their acting experiences on their location. And that’s how they were still able to establish their chemistry.</p><p>Meanwhile, for Sky, he expressed how a huge honor it is for him to be able to work with two of the “foundations” of showbiz and how he befriended them in order to build rapport. A day before their shoot, he also grabbed the opportunity to talk with them and eliminate whatever awkwardness they felt towards one another.</p><p>The gregarious host DJ Jhai Ho then went on to talk about their respective characters, as well as their favorite trait of each. </p><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="701" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PbxxbtePyw4" title="YouTube video player" width="1246"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>Marlo plays the role of Angelo, the middle child who is hardworking, affectionate, strong, and risk-taker. He had the chance to virtually meet the real Angelo in one of his KUMU livestreams, who expressed how excited and touched he really is just by seeing the trailer. Hero is the eldest brother named Michael, who is too generous and willing to sacrifice his own dreams and wants for the sake of his family; while Sky is the <em>bunso</em> named Anthony, who is driven towards his dreams and makes sure that everything he does is for his family – despite being sweet and such a crybaby.</p><p>When it comes to the learnings that the audiences may get from the upcoming episode, Marlo stated that it will be “time is gold” for him. He expounded it by saying that we should always be all-out to our family by showing our love and appreciation to them every chance that we get and not waiting ‘til our times run out.</p><p>Sky echoed it, while Hero implied that it would remind us that our family will always be there through the ups and downs of life.</p><p>DJ Jhai Ho then veered the interview to the “Game of Phones Challenge”, wherein they had to respond to what he was asking them to do with the use of their phones and whoever does it first will score a point. The one with the lowest point would have to face a consequence. </p><p>In the end, it was Marlo who dominated the game after he was the first one to show the number of his unread emails, the number of ‘likes’ on his latest Instagram post, his photo with a Kapamilya celebrity, and a picture of him with his pet. Sky was next, who was able to show the first photo on his gallery, to make a video call with a friend, and type “MMK Villadarez brothers” on his phone’s Notes app with his eyes closed. </p><p>Since he wasn’t able to get any point, Hero had to face his punishment, which was to answer the hard-hitting questions of Marlo and Sky. While the two chose to play it safe, DJ Jhai Ho joined the fun by quizzing him if he ever had the chance to talk with former loveteam partner Sandara Park recently, to which he replied “no” and imparted that the last time they did was during the premiere night of one of their movies in 2005. </p><p>Catch Hero, Marlo, and Sky on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/maalaalamokaya"><u><strong>Maalaala Mo Kaya</strong></u></a>’s #MMKVilladarezBrothers episode this coming Saturday, April 2, on <strong><u><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-channel-livestream-12685">Kapamilya Channel, </a><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-online-live-12710">Kapamilya Online Live</a></u></strong><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-online-live-12710">,</a> A2Z Channel 11, and <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/"><strong><u>iWantTFC.</u></strong></a></p>
