Touching story of unusual mom

GMA Network’s “Onanay” starts airing Aug. 6. The heart-warming drama introduces Jo Berry as Onay, a loving, warm and kind woman.

“Onanay” is about a woman born with Achondroplasia or a bone growth disorder which impeded her growth. Because of this, she is often the subject of ridicule but she chooses to remain positive in life.

Onay is mother to two beautiful girls Maila and Natalie. Maila is the obedient and cheerful daughter, always ready to defend her mother, while Natalie is spoiled and arrogant.

Playing Onay’s mother is superstar Nora Aunor as Nelia, who only has good and admiring words for Jo Berry. Onay’s mother-in-law is Cherie Gil as Helena. Aldrian Alandy plays Onay’s husband.

Convention highlight

An exhibit featuring the historic Battle for Manila will be one of the highlights for “History Con 2018” happening on Aug. 10-12 at the World Trade Center.

The Battle for Manila claimed over 100,000 civilian lives, and unquantifiable damage to beautiful buildings and homes. Manila was the second most devastated City in World War II next only to Warsaw, Poland, with very heavy casualties.

“History Con 2018” also features a star-studded lineup of popular History personalities including Katheryn Winnick of History Channel’s Emmy-winning series “Vikings,” Giorgio Tsoukalos of the hit series “Ancient Aliens,” “Ride N’ Seek’s” Jaime Dempsey; as well as local celebrities Xian Lim and Diego Loyzaga of “Celebrity Car Wars.”
