Mel Tiangco on why her story isn’t featured in Magpakailanman: ‘Can’t afford’

The life story of Mel Tiangco has been featured yet in her own drama anthology program

Seasoned broadcaster and TV host Mel Tiangco said that GMA could not afford to pay for her life story to be featured in the Kapuso drama anthology Magpakailanman.

Aside from being one of the most prominent news anchors in the Philippines, Mel is also a TV host for 20 years now and her show is sharing other people’s stories.

The said show has been sharing stories of hope and inspiration with the viewers for two decades now. Stories from people from different walks of life have shared lessons with many people.

Mel’s TV show is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. In a previous article, it was revealed that A-list actress Bea Alonzo will be doing an episode for the anniversary celebration of the show.

In a recent interview, based on the article in NewsKo, Mel was asked why her story is not yet featured in her own show. She jokingly said that the network cannot afford to pay her. “Lilybeth Rasonable cannot afford me, cannot afford my story, I’m sorry,” Mel Tiangco said in jest.

Rasonable is the Senior Vice-President of GMA Entertainment Group. This coming Saturday, the episode featuring Bea will be aired. It is the actress’s first time to be in Magpakailanman.

Meanwhile, Mel previously shared her reaction to the announcement of actress-host Charo Santos that the Kapamilya drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya is saying goodbye. The Kapuso broadcaster said that this information saddened her.

Mel acknowledged the popularity and reputation of MMK which has aired for three decades. For some artists in the Philippine entertainment industry, especially those who are in the Kapamilya network, being featured in MMK is something that would give them honor.
