Manila Standard (page 103), Friday, June 21, 1996

THE alluring Alma Concepcion, ravishing Rita Avila and inebriating Ina Raymundo topbill the two-part third anniversary presentation of Joe D'Mango's Love Notes (to be aired tonight and on June 28 at 8 p.m. over ABC 5).

Three beautiful daughters' lives ruled by a strong-willed mother. How do grown-up women deal with the pressure?

Ina Raymundo, who has portrayed a partying playgirl in Sabado Nights and an abused mail-order bride in Sobra-Sobra, Labis Labis now finds herself constantly bawled out by her domineering mother because of her frequent dates. Alma and Rita each have their own lives also scrutinized by the matriarch.

Joe D'Mango's Love Notes is the longest-running series on ABC 5. Offered to ABC 5 three years ago by Director Maryo J. delos Reyes and Joe D'Mango, the program has weathered the storm and remains one of the most-watched shows over primetime.

Viewers are invited to send love notes for their special someones. The most creative notes will be aired during the program. Send your love notes to Joe D'Mango's Love Notes c/o ABC Local Production, 762 Quirino Highway, San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City.
