Kim Chiu spreads joy and warmth with “Bawal Lumabas: The Series” this holiday season

Tweet

Streaming this December 14 on iWantTFC

 

Kim Chiu brings warmth and laughter to the whole family this holiday season with a special story about love and togetherness in the iWantTFC original “Bawal Lumabas: The Series,” which is set to premiere on the streaming service on December 14. 

 

Viewers will surely relate to the story of Emerald (Kim), an overseas worker who has been employed in various countries to support her family financially. Because her parents had already passed away, Eme has to work extra hard to fulfill their wishes for their children.

After her latest employment contract expires, Emerald returns to the Philippines to reunite with her siblings Onyx (Paulo Angeles), Ruby (Trina Legaspi), and Jade (Francine Diaz) for the holidays.

 

When she comes home, however, she realizes that the result of her sacrifices is the sad reality that her siblings have already grown distant towards her. 

 

Disheartened by the fact that she does not know them anymore, especially her rebel sister Jade, Emerald attempts to get closer to her by becoming her classmate. But to make things more complicated, Emerald finds out that their teacher is her ex-boyfriend (Rafael Rosell).

 

Emerald’s plan completely backfires as she tries to meddle with Jade’s decisions, including her relationship with her sister’s suitor Kevin (Kyle Echarri). Her misunderstandings with Jade will also cause her relationship with Onyx and Ruby to turn sour.

 

Will Emerald be able to patch things up with her siblings in time for Christmas?

BRIA Homes offers contemporary homes in many Laguna developments

From the majestic Pagsanjan Falls to the enchanting Mt. Makiling, from grand old churches to famed historical sites such as the Rizal Shrine, some of Luzon’s top tourist draws are found in Laguna, a province southeast of Manila. Filipino families head for its hot springs, picturesque lakes, and nature-themed resorts for weekends of fun and relaxation, as do other travelers, locals and foreign guests alike. 

BRIA Homes now touts nine developments in the booming province of Laguna.

However, Laguna’s proximity to the metropolis has allowed it to prosper in terms of business and economy as well. Its commercial hubs such as Laguna Techno Park, and flourishing industries such as Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), marketing, and real estate, have consistently lured professionals seeking opportunities outside the big cities. 

Offering a balance of tranquility and modernity, Laguna has thus become a sought-after location for property investors. 

Fortunately, BRIA Homes, a leader in housing development, was among the first to acknowledge this and now touts nine developments in this booming province.
