Maalaala Mo Kaya (transl. Would you remember?; formerly stylized as Maala·ala mo kaya... or Maalaala mo kaya...; abbreviated as MMK), is a Philippine television drama anthology series broadcast by ABS-CBN Entertainment. Hosted by Charo Santos-Concio, it premiered on May 15, 1991 and concluded on December 10, 2022, with a total of 1,348 episodes.[1] Maalaala Mo Kaya has become the longest-running drama anthology in the Philippines,[2] reaching its 31st year in 2022. The program features weekly real-life stories or anecdotes of common people or even famous celebrities and personalities through letter sending. Some viewers find the end credits to be scary and traumatizing, citing the real life person's faces blurred out.

Info

Each of the episodes lasted for at least 50 minutes. It usually begins with the host Charo Santos-Concio introducing a prologue about the story of a real life person, ranging from ordinary people to famous personalities. In some episodes, the opening title contains disclaimer stating the sensitivity of the story (such as themes of sexual abuse and domestic violence).[3] After the story, the episode switches back to Santos-Concio, where she tells the viewers the moral lesson of the story. After Santos-Concio's closing remarks, the title of the episode is shown on the screen.

In 2000s-2010s format, the end credits contains the inset slideshow photos or the videos of the real life person. During the JM Yosures's theme song era (2021-2022), the end credits showing the full screen of slideshow photos, and later transitioned into personal interviews with the host.

However, in the episode about sexual abuse, child abuse, life of crime, horror stories, or psychological struggles, the real life person are mostly blurred out.
