As a Filipino
citizen, I would like to hope that the Philippines will be free from
corruption, political dynasties and others. I am a pretty idealistic person, I
admit, that's why I am really enjoying the 1st original Series of GMA News TV,
"Bayan Ko"

The Plot:
The story is
about a young, idealistic and newly-elected mayor, Joseph Santiago which is
played by Rocco Nacino. He discovered a rotten system in the government of
their province. He faced several temptations of corruption throughout the show
which he tried to fight. His efforts to fight corruption gave rise to a dispute
between him and the corrupt governor of the province, Antonio Rubio played by
Pen Medina.
During the first
two episodes of Bayan Ko, Mayor Joseph have to change the minds of a bunch of
municipal hall employees who have been eaten by the system. He gains the trust
and support through his honest service towards the community.
My Thoughts:
The trailer was
really interesting with the heart-touching background song of "Bayan
Ko"
I also like how
they made it in high definition because it makes the series visually
entertaining.
The series is not
all serious because it was made lighter by a touch of comedy given by Betong
and Love Anover and an unexpected romance of LJ Reyes' and Ping Medina's
characters.
The scenes are
realistic which can the audience will able to relate.
The cast was
really great in portraying their roles. It was really natural. I love them all.
haha.
This series is
very timely for the upcoming election so that Filipinos will have an idea of
what a good leader is and to open their minds that their votes are a crucial
element for the country's progression and development.
Catch the last two episodes of Bayan
Ko on GMA NEWS TV airs Sundays, 6:30 PM. If you missed the previous episodes,
you can watch it on YouTube. :)
