SANYA LOPEZ seems to be on a winning streak. Her GMA-7 drama series, “First Lady”, is definitely the number one teleserye today on primetime.
When she and her co-stars in the show became guests last Wednesday in “Family Feud”, they competed with a team of gay comedians and they’re the lucky ones who won the jackpot prize of P200,000!
“Ang suwerte nga namin kasi sa third round, naungusan na kami ng mga kalaban namin,” she says.
“Buti na lang at nakabawi pa kami sa fourth round kaya kami ang nakapasok sa Fast Money round where we won a total of 207 points. So thanks sa mga co-stars ko sa ‘First Lady’ na sina Analyn Barro, Anjo Damiles at Muriel Lomadilla kasi ang gagaling nila.”
Now, in “First Lady”, Sanya as Melody Reyes-Acosta is all set to run for president after her husband, Gabby Concepcion as Pres. Glenn Acosta, was injured in an assassination attempt on his life.
She was the one chosen by their allies to run in the next election while Gabby is still indisposed.
“Noong una, medyo hesitant ako as Melody kasi it’s something very new to me,” she says.
“But in our last episode, I already accepted their challenge and declared my candidacy for the highest post in the land.
"The reaction from the public is very positive. Talagang bumuhos ang suporta nila sa akin sa social media.”
But of course, their political foes will not take this sitting down, led by Isabel Rivas as another former first lady, Allegra, who earlier already discouraged from running as president.
Now, she and her friends that include Alice Dixson as Atty. Ingrid Domingo, Samantha Lopez as another former First Lady and Glenda Garcia as reporter Marni Tupaz, are doing all their best for her to be discredited in the eyes of the public, reminding all of them that she used to be a lowly “yaya” in the palace.
But will they succeed in their schemes to braing down Melody? Let's find out in the coming next episodes of "First Lady"
