Against

Carmina Villaroel

It’s Carmina Villaroel versus Sunshine Dizon on the primetime series “Kambal, Karibal.”

Sunshine plays Maricar, the biological mother of Cheska (Kyline Alcantara) who is intent on getting back her daughter.

Geraldine (Carmina), however, won’t let that happen. As the adoptive mother, she loves Cheska just like she’s her true daughter. So, who has the right to the girl?

“Kambal, Karibal” is topbilled by Bianca Umali and Miguel Tanfelix.
