Madrasta (lit. 'Stepmother') is a 1996 Philippine family drama film directed by Olivia Lamasan, written by Olivia Lamasan and Ricky Lee, and starring Sharon Cuneta who is a manicurist and a laundrywoman and Christopher de Leon. The film clinched Cuneta a Grandslam Best Actress honor, recognized her as Best Actress from all major award-giving bodies in the Philippines, while its strong showing at the box-office conferred to Cuneta, another Box-Office Queen award.[2][3][4]
The Star Cinema-produced drama was Cuneta's first film outside her home studio of more than twenty years, Viva Films. Released on August 14, 1996, the film was a box office success, becoming the highest-grossing film produced by Star Cinema at the time.[1]
Madrasta had its Asian TV screening via the movie channel Cinemax. The film has been digitally remastered and restored by ABS-CBN Film Archives and Central Digital Lab.
Plot
The loving and nurturing Mariel (Sharon Cuneta) marries Edward (Christopher de Leon) after his first wife abandons him and took responsibility as a mother to his three children (Claudine Barretto, Patrick Garcia and Camille Prats).[5] Mariel strives to win the acceptance and affection of her new stepchildren. Even as she tries to define her role in the family she is still just a stepmother no matter what. She must learn how to cope and be a part of their lives.
