TV5 ‘s head for creative and entertainment Perci Intalan shoot down the rumor that Sharon Cuneta’s two-month old show, “Sharon: Kasama Mo, Kapatid” will be axed!

This is what Mr. Intalan said:

“The network is behind Sharon.  Her show has just been launched and we are due to meet Sharon to get her inputs this week or next.  She just came back from a month-long stay in Vancouver (Canada).”

The TV5 executive surmised that the cancellation rumor surfaced because Sharon has been away for a month after taping episodes of her show in advance.

May is women empowerment month on TV5 as it celebrates Mother’s Day with a brand new afternoon block starting May 14.

To her desperation, Sandra hires a surrogate mother, a plan unbeknownst to Harold. In a twist of fate, Eunice, the surrogate mother falls in love with the Harold’s brother, Carlo. The real drama begins with this turn of events.

Pink Lipstick highlights the story of deception and betrayal. Andrea discovers that her husband, Aldwin, has an affair with her bestfriend Marivic. Adding to the shocking revelation, their adopted daughter is actually their lovechild. Now, she plans to take revenge and her once normal life is changed forever.

With my big move to TV5 comes an opportune time to give back to the people whom I owe all my successes,” Sharon related. “This show is all about them. This will be my legacy.”

Airing from Monday to Friday, the daily talk show promises the viewers a refreshing format with features of real stories from real lives—celebrating triumphs while learning from mistakes-turned-inspirations.
