'LUMUHOD KA SA LUPA' STARS SHARE VIEWS ON REVENGE, KARMA
The Philippine Star
|April 14, 2024
The cast members of TV5's revenge-themed series "Lumuhod Ka Sa Lupa" don't believe in revenge, but some do believe in karma.
"Lumuhod Ka Sa Lupa" is a classic tale of love and revenge which airs weekdays at 2:30 p.m. on TV5's Hapon Champion block, with same-day catch-ups on Sari-Sari Channel at 8 p.m. It is in cooperation with Studio Viva and Sari-Sari.
The series is the remake of Carlo J. Caparas' action masterpiece of the same title. Originally penned as a comic book by Caparas, it was adapted into the classic film topbilled by the late action icon Rudy Fernandez in the '80s.
As per media release, the story follows Norman Dela Cruz (played by Kiko Estrada), a working student aspiring to become a lawyer.
Norman's life takes an unexpected turn when his mother Tacing (with the special participation of Ana Abad Santos) engages in an intense land dispute with her estranged non-biological brother Benito Balmores (Gardo Versoza), resulting in tragedy.
Surviving the ordeal, Norman vows to avenge his mother but finds himself torn as he falls in love with Benito's daughter, Mercy Balmores (Sarah). After several years, Norman returns as the successful lawyer Abra Espiritu, with a plan for revenge while suppressing his feelings for Mercy, who has married Miguel Aguirre (Sid Lucero).
This story is from the April 14, 2024 edition of The Philippine Star.
