ACTION-DRAMA royalty Gerald Anderson makes his much-anticipated teleserye comeback after three years in ABS-CBN’s new crime thriller “Sins of the Father,” premiering June 23.
In this intense and socially relevant series, Gerald plays a man caught in the dark world of scamming — a timely issue that many Filipinos face today.
The actor, who is marking his 19th year in showbusiness, said the series aligns with his personal advocacy of choosing projects that promote social awareness, spark conversation, and empower viewers.
“Lagi kong nire-request sa ABS na ‘pag may proyekto ako ay sana may social awareness at sana may mapupulot na aral ‘yung mga tao ‘pag pinanood nila because maraming distractions these days. We have scamming, we have social media, everything,” Gerald shared.
Adding more excitement to the series is the return of actress Jessy Mendiola, who makes her teleserye comeback after six years.
“Sins of the Father” is a gripping story about a bank manager named Samuel Trinidad, played by Gerald, whose life will turn upside down after the untimely death of his estranged father, who was involved in a scam.
Esteemed director FM Reyes, who is taking the helm of the series with Bjoy Balagtas, is in full support of Gerald’s goal to make a socially relevant and timely teleserye.
“Hindi naman kaila na that’s what’s been happening sa hirap ng buhay, maraming manloloko, and I think malaking ginagampanan no’n yung request ni Gerald na gagawa po ako ng project na may social relevance. His concern for the society is not just for showbizness. During moments of disasters you can see him saving people. It comes out naturally,” shared Direk FM.
Direk Bjoy, meanwhile, talked about the fresh and intriguing premise of the Kapamilya teleserye: “It’s somehow a person’s journey to correct the sins of the past, the sins of the father, and how he can change his today and also the future of his family.”
Joining Gerald and Jessy in the star-studded series are Shaina Magdayao, Francine Diaz, Seth Fedelin, JC De Vera, RK Bagatsing, Lotlot de Leon, John Arcilla, Joko Diaz, and Tirso Cruz III.
Soliman Cruz, Malou Crisologo, Nico Antonio, Jerald Napoles, Alex Medina, JV Kapunan, LA Santos, Jeremiah Lisbo, Elyson De Dios, Clave Sun, and Cailey Magno are also part of the cast. (ABS-CBN Studios)
