My friend has called me Rubi… ang Bidang Kontrabida. And I do not feel insulted at all. HAHA! I have watched some episodes of the original Mexican telenovela and I liked it. I didn’t enjoy it as Rubi was so annoyingly evil but she was so damn hot that it was like watching a piece of art move about.

I am very much excited to watch ABS-CBN‘s remake of Rubi… Ang Bidang Kontrabida featuring one of my favorites, Angelica Panganiban.

The character fit Angelica to a T! And her outfits are sooo bongga! I love it. Red is in… it’s sizzling hoooot!

Cherry Pie Picache is also perfect as her mahadera/kawawa/bungangera/loving mother. And Cherie Gil plus Gardo Versoza and Allan Paule is just pure genius.

I’m kinda meh about Shaina Magdayao and Diether Ocampo, but they seem to have been casted well to their respective roles. And wait… is that Wowie de Guzman? LOL! And my other fave Kaye Abad is also in the series.

And Jake Cuenca is Jake Cuenca… eye candy.

Watch out for Rubi… ang bidang kontrabida.
