Yasmien Kurdi Thinks Her Frequent Violent Catfights With Katrina Halili Helps 'Sa Piling Ni Nanay' Maintain Its High Ratings

YASMIEN KURDI is ecstatic that her afternoon show "Sa Piling ni Nanay" continues to be the toprater in its slot even if a new show was pitted against it. "Nakakatuwa kasi hindi kami iniwan ng loyal followers namin," she says. "Talaga naman kasing mas umiinit at mas tumitindi ang mga eksena namin ni Katrina Halili at tuwing maghaharap na lang kami sa eksena, lagi kaming nagkakapisikalan with matching sampalan at sabunutan na nagki-click nang husto sa viewers. Ang mga kasama naman all do a great job, sina Gabby Eigenmann, Jillian Ward, Nova Villa at si Mark Herras who just renewed his contract with GMA Network."

"13 years na ako sa GMA and whatever I have achieved up to this point, utang ko yun lahat sa kanila," Mark says. "Kaya I didn't hesitate to renew my contract and be a true blue Kapuso. Nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa lahat ng suportang ibinigay nila sa akin since I joined Starstruck in 2003 and I'm ready to accept more challenging roles to prove to them na hindi sila nagkamali for renewing my contract."

This week in "Sa Piling ni Nanay", the truth about Jillian Ward as Katherine not really coming from an egg of Katrina Halili as Scarlet has been revealed. It's not established that her real mom is Yasmien and she's not just a surrogate. Because of this, Nova Villa as Matilda removed from Katrina all the property she's supposed to inherit from her and transferred it all to the name of Jillian, with Mark as Jonas being the administrator.

This made Katrina so mad because she will end up a pauper when she's been scheming after Matilda's wealth all the time. When Nova has a heart attack, Katrina won't help her at all but when Jillian came, Katrina is forced to take Nova to the hospital. She continues to try killing Nova but every time she does so, someone saves the old woman in the nick of time. As for Jillian, she is still mad at her mom Yasmien for leaving her then but her heart melted when she got sick and Yasmien took good care of her until she regained her health.
