CANNES: ABS-CBN International Distribution will be presenting a range of Filipino dramas this MIPCOM, among them The Legal Wife, that focus on love and relationships.

“Love and its pursuit are universally appealing, transcending the boundaries of culture,” says Evelyn Raymundo, the company’s VP of integrated program acquisitions and international distribution. “In this season’s highlighted programs, we try to show how far one would go for the sake of love, and this is something anybody can relate to.”

The Legal Wife spotlights the issue of marital infidelity. No Greater Love tells the story of the romance between a sugar-plantation worker and the daughter of his landlord that took place in the late 1960s, but only comes to fruition with their children in present time. Tomorrow Belongs to Me features a woman who is driven to exact revenge on the man she loves.
