Katorse (lit. Fourteen) is a television primtime series that started airing on August 24, 2009 on ABS-CBN. It tells the story of a simple provinciana who fell in love with a man and later figured out that she is about to become a teenage mother. It is a remake of the 1981 film starring Dina Bonnevie, Gabby Concepcion and Alfie Anido.
Overview
Casting
The show stars the Star Circle Grand Questor of 2005, Erich Gonzales as the teenage mom, Nene. This is Gonzales' very first starring role in a primetime program. Other than Gonzales, the program also showcases showbiz newbies, Ejay Falcon and Xian Lim, this is also their first starring role in a primetime series. ABS-CBN decided the cast because they believe that the primetime needs to have new faces, to make it look fresh and better than the usual known actors.
On early July 2009, ABS-CBN released the program's trailer. The trailer also revealed the cast of Katorse which includes veteran actors such as Malou de Guzman as Nene's mother and Cherie Gil, who for a long time has came back as a kontrabida portraying Gabby's mother. Cherie Gil and Erich Gonzales has worked together before in the afternoon drama program, Pieta. Ms. Gil saw a lot of potential with Erich and believes that she will go far more on the showbiz industry.
MTRCB thinks that the show needs more star quality because most of the main cast are amateur or novice actors. In this matter, inbetween August 2009, the management added Enchong Dee as an additional main cast.
Postpone
The show was originally to begin on early July 2009, however it was postponed as the producers of the show insist that they are having some problems on the shooting location due to weather. Because of this, the management have decided what to replace the Katorse's timeslot is The Wedding, a romantic-comedy series starring Anne Curtis, Derek Ramsay and Zanjoe Marudo.
Teenage pregnancy issue
MTRCB has shown concerns due to the show's main plot, teenage pregnancy. They claim that this matter is to be taken serisouly and can easily influence the televiewers. They also referred to The Wedding, another program by ABS-CBN in which the character of Hiyasmin Neri have become pregnant at a young age. MTRCB proclaim that these shows are making teenage pregnancy a stereotype on everyday lives. Although frowned upon, MTRCB have decided that they will take a closer look on this shows.
1981 film
The 1981 film of Katorse was starred by Dina Bonnevie as the young woman, Nene, Gabby Concepcion as Gabby and the late Alfie Anido as Albert.
Story and Development
Synopsis
Nene, an ordinary barrio lass whose life is about to change with the arrival of her childhood friends Albert and Gabby during one fateful summer. With two guys vying for her attention, Nene embarks on a romantic adventure that turns into a disaster as she faces an unwanted pregnancy. Nene also discovers a whole lot of troubles involving her family.
Plot
Fourteen year-old Nene grows excited of her childhood friend Gabby’s upcoming arrival in the hacienda. It seems that during their younger years, the lad had actually promised to marry her, and she has been waiting for him to come back and fulfill his promise ever since. On the other hand, Gabby seems to be awfully annoyed with the thought of going back home for the summer because he is looking forward to spend it with Marissa; but after the latter relentlessly pushed him to go back home, he then decides to submit to his father’s political desires. After sharing an intimate kiss with Nene, Gabby tells her that he loves the naive young lady. The very next day, he starts to continuously sweep Nene off her feet up until he actually convinces her to be his girlfriend. One night, he invites the young lady back in their house to spend sometime inside his room. And while they are in the middle of a lip-lock, Gabby’s mother surprisingly walks in on them.
On Nene’s way out, Gabby’s mother chases after her to send out a warning with regard to her rather unacceptable affair with her son. Nene tells Gabby that his mother doesn’t like her for him. Immediately, he comforts the poor young lady while telling that everything will soon be okay. The next day, Nene fulfills her responsibility as Reyna Elena as she parades all over town with her escort, Gabby. After the said event, the two escape the set after party to proceed to their secret hideout; and there they end up spending an intimate night together. Gabby catches his brother Albert kissing the love of his life Marissa, so he immediately engages in a fist fight with the lad. There, he learns about the two’s romantic link, which further enrages him. While pondering about his new discovery, Nene surprisingly comes his way. The young lady tries cheering up the lad; but instead of receiving a positive response, Nene ends up totally devastated because Gabby has suddenly decided to break up with her.
After learning about Nenita’s mischief in Manila as she works herself off to support the young lady’s studies, Nena simply couldn’t help but enrage in anger. Immediately, she drags eldest daughter back to their province. On the other hand, behind Nena’s knowledge, another dilemma awaits her. Nene discovers that she is pregnant with Gabby’s baby, and she gladly tells this to the lad; but to Nene’s dismay, upon hearing of the said news, Gabby instantly yells at her with disbelief.
Despite the pregnancy test kit’s bold confirmation, Gabby fails to believe the truth behind Nene’s untimely child expectancy; he persistently claims that he has no intention to take responsibility of the latter’s child. After hearing his own mother’s threat regarding early parenthood, Gabby chooses to run away. On the other hand, Nene finally decides to admit her current situation to her mother, despite Nenita’s persistent refusal.
