Will Biritera Be As Successful As Heredera Since Both Are Helmed By Maryo De Los Reyes?

AFTER MAKING an ‘heredera’ a toprater, Director Maryo de los Reyes will now do the same for a “biritera” that will introduce another talented child star. Set in the colorful world of the music recording industry, this will be bannered by stars who not only act well but also sing well: Dennis Trillo, Glaiza de Castro and Angelika de la Cruz.

Dennis plays Andrei, lead vocalist of the group called The Bridge, wih Glaiza as the drummer/singer, Mikaela. Angelika plays the foster mom of the new child singer-actress being introduced here, Roseanne Magan. This will be Roseanne’s engaging emotional journey from being a nobody to being a famous biritera, as she also discovers her past and real identity.

The show starts with the unexpected death of the reigning biritera. Mr. D (Ryan Eigenmann), a top talent manager, then makes a hasty search for a new one. In an amateur singing contest in the province, he brings Dennis along and Dennis is drawn to one particular contestant, Roseanne. But Roseanna loses to her rival, Barbie (Sweet Ramos), much to Andrei’s disappointment. Her adoptive mom, Angelika, prefers that she focuses on her studies rather than sing.

Dennis uploads a video of Roseanne on the net and it goes viral, making Roseanne a big internet singing sensation. How this affects of her life is something viewers would enjoy following eagerly every night on GMA-7. Also in the show are Rich Asuncion as Roseanne’s ambitious aunt, Neil Ryan Sese as a rich businessman, Gwen Zamora as Andrei’s ardent fan who falls in love with him, Ces Quesada as Angelika’s aunt, Yul Servo as Rich’s boyfriend, and Claudine Barretto in a special role as the biritera’s real mother.

Also in the cast are Ken Chan, Kiel Rodriguez, Orlando Sol, Hiro Magalona, Kim Komatsu, Barbara Miguel, comedian Scarlet, and new child singers Nomer Limatog and Jamaika Olivarez. “Biritera” starts airing on February 6 replacing “Munting Heredera”.
