As they consistently display totally horrible temperament and make the lives of the protagonists miserable, it’s definitely not hard for us viewers to despise them whenever we see them on our television screens, portraying their notorious villain characters.

But, lo and behold, these versatile and talented actresses are actually loved off-cam, not just by their colleagues, but their respective families the most.

Thus, as we pay tribute to the most important women in our lives this coming Mother’s Day celebration on May 10, meet the actresses behind the antagonists we all loved to hate and find out how affectionate, awesome, and great moms they are to their children in real life through this feature.

 

Dimples Romana

Of course, who would forget her depiction of the iconic Daniela Mondragon-Bartolome of the highly talked about afternoon soap opera Kadenang Ginto? Many of us arguably got furious with her as she mercilessly turned her rival-slash-stepmom Romina’s (Beauty Gonzalez) life a living hell in pursuit of exacting revenge against her for not only taking her father away from her, but the love of her life – Carlos (Adrian Alandy) as well.

But in real-life, Dimples doesn’t have to fight over the love and attention of her husband Boyet to whom she has two adorable kids – Callie and Alonzo. Her schedule may have been hectic in the recent years due to the slew of series she starred in, but she made sure to still spend time with them whenever given the chance.

Cristine Reyes

She may be deemed as a cruel aunt to Nang Ngumiti Ang Langit’s main character Mikmik (Sophia Reola), but Cristine is actually a sweet and hands-on Mama to her five-year-old unica hija Amarah.

In her interview with the King of Talk in Tonight With Boy Abunda in December 2019, she disclosed that she’d been taking her daughter to work not only to bond with her in between takes, but to also give her a glimpse of her work. As Amarah sees her hustle, she never failed to praise her excellent acting skills, and even expressed how she aspires to be an actress like her in the future, too!

Aiko Melendez

From making us infuriated with her ruthless schemes as Emilia Ardiente in the controversial 2017 drama Wildflower and as the fierce and petrifying Matadora in the fantasy-action series Bagani, Aiko has been amusing us with her playfulness as seen in her TikTok videos that she share on Instagram. But what make us admire her even more is with how she has been doing a great job in raising her two broods Andre and Marthena.

Vina Morales

Before we witnessed her caliber as an antagonist through her stints as Celestina in Precious Hearts Romances Presents Araw Gabi and as Cordelia in Sandugo, we’ve seen her take on a slew of kind-hearted and affectionate moms in the past series she did.

And it’s the latter that completely depicts her as a parent in real-life as we see hos a dutiful and loving mom she is to her adorable 11-year-old daughter Ceana, whom she has raised singlehandedly.

Denise Laurel

In her almost two decades in the industry, Denise has indeed already proven how a versatile actress she is through her teleserye stints. But among the characters she portrayed, it’s arguably in her kontrabida roles in which she shines brighter, such as playing Bianca in La Luna Sangre, Monica in The Haunted, and Delilah in 24/7.

She may be hated because of those roles, but it’s definitely a different story in real life for many people admire her with how she takes good care of and keeps her tight bond with her charming toy enthusiast son Alejandro.

 

Nathalie Hart

Her entrance in the primetime series Pamilya Ko as Tina indeed came as a surprise, but more so when she figured in intense confrontations with Maris Racal’s character Peachy Ann.

And just like her character, she’s also willing to do everything for the sake of her beloved daughter, who she named Penelope in remembrance of her late father. As she has to raise her singlehandedly after calling it quits with her former partner, she’s indeed doing a great job in being both father and mother for her adorable baby.

 

Irma Adlawan

Many viewers of Pamilya Ko are probably irked with how she incessantly and insanely chase after Fernan (Joey Marquez), in hopes of rekindling the illicit affair they had when they were still together in Italy, despite knowing how happy and in love he is with his family.

But unlike Loida, the character actress is not desperate for affection and attention since her four beloved children – Mira Franchesca, Ira Patricia, Mara Paulina, and Mari Benjamin – and grandchildren shower her with these.

 

Isabelle Daza

Unlike her character Clara in Tubig at Langis whose desperation to attain true love led her to do evil things, her journey towards the happy family life she has right now with her husband Adrien and firstborn Baby Baltie seemingly went smooth for she doesn’t have to go through a lot of ordeals.

While she’s not currently busy with her showbiz commitments, Isabelle impresses everyone with how hands-on she is in taking good care of her family, especially with their cute son.

 

Eula Valdez

She’s undoubtedly among the most in-demand actress to portray kontrabida roles due to her impeccable performances, such as in the The Good Son as Olivia and Love Thy Woman as Lucy.

The veteran actress may be antagonist on-screen, but never for her children Miguel Jose Thaddeo and Juliana for she’s apparently a cool and doting mom for them.

 

These Kapamilya actresses may have brought terror and anger to us viewers because of their compelling portrayals, but let’s be reminded that everything is just for the show and they actually bring nothing but love, happiness, and inspiration to their respective families, especially to their children.
