Eduardo Capetillo and his co-star in "Cancion de Amor"

TELENOVELAS are the "in" shows nowadays, riding high on the popularity of the phenomenal Mari Mar. Now, RPN 9 Your Friendly Network brings you two more telenovelas that tell of life's greatest mystery: love.

At 12 noon to 1 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, Mari Mar’s Sergio, Eduardo Capetillo, stars in his own series, Cancion de Amor. Eduardo plays Renzo, a young rock singer struggling for success and for the survival of his love for Ana, daughter of a rich and powerful man. Join them as they find ways to make heaven and earth meet.

Acapulco, Cuerpo y Alma airs at 6 to 6:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday. Two rival brothers, David and Marcelo, fight for the family inheritance as well as for the love of one woman, Lorena.

Thalia, si. Sergio? No!
CLOSE to the heels of the second Spanish invasion led by Thalia, singer-actor Eduardo Capetillo, who plays Sergio in Mari Mar, will arrive in Manila to perform in two concerts at the Araneta Colisem. Thalia, si. Sergio? No mas!

Haven't we had enough of the Mexican fever? Thalia is all over the place. Her telenovelas are being shown not only on RPN 9 but also on Channl 2 as well. As if that weren't enough, we now have a deluge of Mexican telenovelas.

Acapulco and Cancion de Amor are both aired on Channel 9 while Ilusiones premieres today at Channel 2.

We are going crazy over Spanish years after we repudiated their colonization. We never learn. Here we are, again bedazzled by a curvaceous body and a freckled bosom.
