GMA 7, ABS-CBN and IBC 13 battles it out with ‘Sirenaserye’

Mar 13, 2014

Mermaids will be swimming to Philippine television in the days to come.

This as ABS-CBN sets to air the remake of Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel, while GMA 7 launches Kambal Sirena and the number 3 network IBC-13 launches also the first fantasy series Janella in Wonderland which is already aired last January 13 and by time time to head-to-head our Sirena Wars on March 17.

Kapamilya Network’s Dyesebel stars Anne Curtis, while Kapuso Network’s Kambal Sirena will feature Louise delos Reyes and Kapinoy Network’s very first fantaserye Janella in Wonderland topbilled by Janella Salvador (who is also part of ABS-CBN's Be Careful With My Heart).

During the press launch of Kambal Sirena, Louise expressed confidence over GMA’s trust in giving her the role. She said, “Confident ako na gagawin ko ang best ko. Ayaw ko magsalita ng kahit ano, basta pag bubutihan ko, maikumpara man or maging pangit or maganda sa paningin nila.” She added, “Hindi naman maiaalis sa akin na kakabahan ako, pero ako, ginagawa ko lang talaga yung best ko para hindi ako magsisi na hindi ko ginalingan. At para hindi rin magsisi ang GMA na ibinigay sa akin ang proyektong ito.”

The Kapuso star also claimed Kambal Sirena, which was based on an original story, to be way different from Dyesebel which has been remade into movies and teleseryes.

The Kapuso star also revealed that former Dyesebel star Marian Rivera gave her an advice she cannot forget. She said, “Pinagalitan niya ako, kasi sabi niya, wala raw difference yung characters ko sa first teaser. Sabi ni Miss Marian, kailangan yung tawa nila magkaiba. Binigyan niya rin ako ng tips kasi nagkaroon din siya before ng sirenaserye. Binigay niya lahat para sa show niya, so wala siyang regrets.”

Louise added that Marian advised her she compare roles with Kapamilya star Anne Curtis and the newest Kapinoy teen star Janella Salvador. She said, “Hindi masyado sa pagka sirena, basta ibigay ko daw lahat. Alisin ang mga restriction at huwag ko raw pansinin yung pagkukumpara at huwag raw akong panghihinaan ng loob kasi kung panghinaan ako ng loob, matatalo lang ako.”Kambal Sirena, which airs on March 11, also stars Aljur Abrenica, Mike Tan, Tessie Tomas, Mickey Ferriols, Nova Villa, Lotlot de Leon, Pancho Magno, Polo Ravales and Wynwyn Marquez.
