AWARD-winning actor Christopher de Leon headlines the second episode of the month-long anniversary specials of Wish Ko Lang! this Saturday.
For the very first time, Christopher takes on the role of a gay man. In the story, Mr. Right, Jake (Christopher) is a gown designer who owns a small boutique. He lives a simple life together with his friend Georgie (Thou Reyes). Jake sometimes participates in pageants by designing the outfits of the contestants. He meets Romeo (Shido Roxas) through one of these contests and falls in love with him.
Five years into the relationship, Romeo leaves Jake because he wants to have a real family. While heartbroken, Jake continues to support Romeo from afar. Romeo marries Sarah (Patricia Tumulak), and together they will have a son named Kristof (Vince Crisostomo). But Romeo dies, and Sarah looks for another man. With his family broken and incomplete, Kristof finds a parental figure in Jake, who will treat him as his son. Their unusual relationship causes eyebrows to raise, but Kristof defends his ‘father.’ Sarah suddenly returns one day and wants to take Kristof back with her. Now Kristof must choose between his mother and the father he found in Jake.
For almost two decades now, Wish Ko Lang! has been touching the lives of Filipinos with stories that spark hope and inspiration. Its host, Vicky Morales, is grateful for the public’s continued support of the award-winning public service program and drama anthology.
“I’m very grateful to our viewers. We wouldn’t be around this long kung hindi dahil sa kanila, kung hindi dahil sa paniniwala nila na mahal nila ang program natin as much as we love our program also. Kaya thank you very much sa mga viewer natin,” she said.(GMA News)
