MMK March 4 To Break Moms’ Hearts
Jodi rediscovered fame when she played the role of Sir Chief’s Maya in Be Careful With My Heart on ABS-CBN. In the same network, Jodi was also part of Kathniel’s Pangako Sa ‘Yo, the teleserye reboot that paved the way for an Emmy nod for Jodi. Before these teleseryes, however, life was dark for the Tabing Ilog alum.
According to a Rappler report, Jodi was lost and broken after her marriage ended. In November last year, however, the Court of Appeals (CA) ruled that Jodi and Pampi’s marriage was considered “void from the start.”
MMK March 4 a.k.a. Baby For Sale also stars Maureen Mauricio, Raymond Bagatsing, Ahron Villena, and Lara Morena. This week’s episode was directed by Dado Lumibao and written by Joan Habana and Arah Jell Badayos. More details about the latest MMK episode are available here.
