Arjo Atayde and Yen Santos featured in priest-nun love story in 'MMK'

ABS-CBN’s “Maalaala Mo Kaya” shares this Saturday (December 6) an extraordinary love that blossomed between a priest and a nun.

The world of Fr. Francis (to be played by Arjo Atayde) begins to change when he meets the charming and confident nun named Joanna (to be portrayed by Yen Santos), who asked him to get involved in a non-government organization that sympathizes with radical groups. From being simple acquaintances who march together to Mendiola, Fr. Francis and Sis. Joanna became good friends as they enjoy lengthy talks about their vocation, their common cause of helping and serving other people, and their personal lives.

As they appreciate and enjoy each other’s company every single time, Fr. Francis and Sis. Joanna’s friendship developed into a special kind of love, which pushed Sis. Joanna to leave her vocation to save his beloved from leaving priesthood.

What will happen when Fr. Francis discovers Sis. Joanna’s sacrifice? How will their love for each other further deepen their relationship with the Lord?

Also part of the upcoming episode are Gio Alvarez, Jopay Paguia, Abby Bautista, Minco Fabregas, Aleck Bovic, Melissa Mendez, Jerry O’Hara, Peewee O’Hara, Bodjie Pascua, Rubi Rubi, and Dale Badillo. It is under the direction of Elfren Vibar and written by Joan Habana and Arah Jell Badayos.
