Mother-son team on ‘Hanggang Saan’

Award-winning actress Sylvia Sanchez has teamed up for the first time with her real son Arjo Atayde on teleserye “Hanggang Saan,” now on its second month of airing.

The story is about how far a mother would sacrifice to give her son a better life.

“Hanggang Saan,” directed by Jeffrey Jeturian and Mervyn Brondial, has been described as an unconventional take on a mother’s love. It has Sylvia playing the role of Sonya, a brave mother who will do everything for her children. Arjo, on the other hand plays Sonya’s son Paco, a smart law student.

Sylvia, who played Gloria on her previous teleserye “The Greatest Love,” said about her character: “Sonya will create an argument between mothers and children. The questions are: Will I also do what Sonya did (she killed an innocent man so her son will live)? Did she have to commit the crime or not?”

On his part, Arjo said, “We will shatter the image of the ideal mother. We will see how a person can love another who is extremely flawed.”
