In the tradition of bringing you world-class Filipino drama entertainment, ABS-CBN, the premiere maker of quality drama on television, brings you yet another entertaining teleserye in the upcoming dramedy (comedy-drama) series entitled, "My Binondo Girl".

"My Binondo Girl" summary/synopsis

When Zheny (Ai Ai delas Alas) went to Guangzhou, China to become a teacher, she met a guy named Chen Xi (Richard Yap) and together, they fell in love. When Chen Xi found out that Zheny was pregnant and the child that Zheny was carrying is a boy, they knew their life would be happy because of their first-born child. When Chen Xi's family found out that the first-born child is a girl (Chinese traditions believed that a first-born who is a boy will bring good luck to family), Chen Xi's family threw Zheny away along with her child, Jade.

Years later, Jade (young, Mutya Orquia) and Zheny are living in the streets of Binondo, Manila where most Filipino-Chinese citizens live. In here, they live a peaceful life. Jade (Kim Chiu) grew up acting like a boy for her to live the life of a son that she never be to her father that she wants to see. Jade grew up with her bestfriend Onyx (Jolo Revilla), and together, they roam the streets of Binondo for a living.

One day, Chen Xi came back to the Philippines to find his son, Yuan Xi. But to his frustrations, he only saw his daughter that he never claimed his own. Because of this, Jade disguised herself as a man in order to grant her father to see his son to Zheny. Jade is longing for the love of his father, and because of this, she will do everything to see, touch, and hug him, no matter what, even it means to become the son, Yuan Xi to her father.

"My Binondo Girl" information and cast

"My Binondo Girl" is definitely not the Filipino-Chinese version of the 2008 Korean drama hit remake of ABS-CBN, "My Girl" which also stars Kim Chiu. Kim Chiu is said to gain some few pounds to fit the role. She even had a costume study for the role that she will portray.

There are three leading men in "My Binondo Girl"—Xian Lim as Andrew, the Filipino-Chinese businessman who will fall in love with Jade; Matteo Guidicelli as Trevor, the half-Filipino who will set his eyes to Jade; and Jolo Revilla as Onyx, the pure Filipino bestfriend of Jade. Child star Izzy Canillo of "Goin' Bulilit" also stars as the young Onyx. Mutya Orquia of "Mutya" is casted as the young Jade.

Glydel Mercado, Ricardo Cepeda, Ms. Ai Ai delas Alas, Ms. Cherry Pie Picache, and Ms. Gina Pareño completes the stellar and magnificent cast of "My Binondo Girl". First time actors Laureen Uy as Amethyst Sy and Richard Yap as Chen Xi also stars in this much-awaited dramedy teleserye of ABS-CBN.
