Martha Cecilia’s Kristine Series Premieres Soon on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida

Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Kristine is based on the best-selling pocketbooks written by Martha Cecilia. The TV adaptation of the Kristine Series begins with the story of sisters Jewel and Emerald Fortalejo and brothers Bernard and Marco de Silva. Jewel falls in love with Bernard and Emerald with Marco. But in the land of Paso de Blas, the Fortalejo’s and the De Silva’s are two feuding families. So what happens when a Fortalejo falls for a De Silva? Can their love for each other stand against the rivalry that threatened their families for years?

I always thought that Tagalog Pocketbooks were cheesy and “baduy” and I often told myself that no one will ever see me reading one. Until that one day my Mom brought home a copy of Martha Cecilia’s Villa Kristine (book 8 of the Kristine Series). I’ve decided to read it just to witness the “chessiness” firsthand. But instead I found myself hooked and wanted to read more because I found myself enthralled with Paso de Blas. Then I fell in love with the Villa Kristine, the Fortalejo’s, the De Silva’s and the Navarro’s too much that I just found myself heading to a nearby Precious Pages Outlet rummaging the shelves for the whole Kristine Series. So yeah, screw the cheesiness! Villa Kristine will always have a special place in my heart and I couldn’t thanked Martha Cecilia enough (who btw is my favorite PHR novel writer of all time!) for sharing the wonderful world of Paso de Blas.
