CAMILLE PRATS and Iya Villania have something in common. They both have three kids: two boys and one girl. This is why they get along so well as co-hosts in the GMA-7 morning show “Mars Pa More”, which will start airing new episodes starting this Monday, July 27.
“Because of the lockdown, we had nothing but reruns muna and then si Iya gave birth to her third baby,” says Camille. “Tamang-tama rin, we are celebrating our first anniversary ni Iya as co-hosts sa show.”
The show used to be “Mars” on GMA News TV with Suzi Entrata as Camille’s co-host. When it was transferred to GMA-7, Iya took over since Suzi is also with GMA’s other morning show, “Unang Hirit”. Camille says Iya is a fun co-host.
“Kasi she’s naturally funny,” she says. “Throughout the show, talagang ang saya-saya kasi tawanan kami nang tawanan as we present serious topics concerning women in an entertaining manner. We talk about our experiences as wives, mothers, and also about housekeeping and physical fitness. We also have guests who open up their own lives to share their own personal insights and inspire our viewers.”
The show’s different segments include Pusuan Mo Mars about personal stories, Handy Mars about housekeeping, Mars Masarap about cooking, Mars Sharing Group about sharing common experiences close to their hearts, Push Mo Mars about physical fitness, and Mars Magaling about family games. They also offer house tours of their guest celebrities.
Camille is proud that they have not only female but also male viewers. “Meron din kasi kaming segments with Pars participating, husbands and fathers who want to improve their relationships with their wives and children. So we encourage the Pars to hook up with Mars in raising well their families.”
