Pilot episode of 'Sabi Mo Nanay'

Dubbed as Mr. Cool, AJ Muhlach is the host of Sabi Mo Nanay, a Viva-TV's reality dating show that has three girls competing for the approval of the strict mother of a mystery.

Master Filipino actor AJ Muhlach is the host of Viva Entertainment's new reality dating show on IBC-13. Sabi Mo Nanay premiered last Friday, July 6, 2012, with a mother who has high standards for her son's date: she should be a car lover, a good entertainer, and a romantic person. These were the qualities that the mystery guy's mother is looking for among the batch of the show's searchees—selected girls of Viva Hot Babes: Maui Taylor and Katya Santos.

A first in Philippine television, Sabi Mo Nanay is an innovative acting original sitcom-game show done in meet-the-parents. The challenges, through up by families and doctors each week is exhilarating, funny and real. With host AJ Muhlach, the three girl searchees lined up for their first trial—the car wash challenge. Clad in sexy outfits, the trio thoroughly scrubbed, rinsed, and polished the car. Even as they were soaked, they had to prove their worth to the matriarch. After the first challenge, the girls were then asked to do the second test where they had to sing and dance in order to show how entertaining they were—one of the qualities they must possess to win the challenge. In line with the last criterion, the searchees were again called by AJ and were given instructions to write a poem and deliver it before the strict mystery's mother to please her with their romantic lines.

After all the challenges and the naughty side trips and playful daunting of AJ, the mystery guy was revealed and introduced to the girl searchees. With the girls anxiously waiting to know whom among them will be chosen, the fussy mom coldly announced that her choice was Maui Taylor.

Who will be the next batch of girl searchees who will dare to challenge the next mystery mom? Who among them will enjoy an all-expense-paid dream date? Find out on the next episode of Sabi Mo Nanay on Viva-TV, aired every Friday night at 9:30 p.m. on IBC-13.
