Story of young rape victim in MMK

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN’s Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) presents tonight the story of a young rape victim whose world gets broken apart when her mother refuses to believe her claims.

Mariel Pamintuan (photo) plays Sally, who at age six was already molested by her uncle but chose to conceal it from her mom to protect her siblings from her uncle.

After many years, her mom Lydia (Sunshine Cruz) decided to let another man into her life — the brother of her late husband — Sally’s other uncle.

Everything seemed to be fine at first, until Sally was raped by her mother’s new husband.

Hoping to get support and help, Sally finally got the courage to tell Lydia that she was raped by her uncle but her mother did not believe her.

How would Lydia’s distrust of her own daughter affect the life of young Sally?

Joining the MMK episode are Ronnie Quizon, Alex Medina, Carla Martinez, Lander Vera-Perez, Laiza Comia, Lance Lucido, John Steven de Guzman, Micah Muñoz, Jennifer Mendoza, Noel Colet, Maila Gumila and Erin Ocampo. The episode was directed by Raz de la Torre and written by Arah Jell Badayos.
