Zoren Legaspi and Carmina Villaroel

They are not married yet but celebrity couple Zoren Legaspi and Carmina Villaroel become “mister and misis” Monday. But only in their first ever show together, “Love ni Mister, Love ni Misis” which airs at 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. on GMA-7.

Ms. Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMA Network’s EVP for Alternative Productions, said “Love ni Mister, Love ni Misis,” is an interesting talk show that will tackle a myriad of topics – about family, children, household problems, opinions of husbands and wives, etc. To host a show together has only been a dream for Carmina who wished for a sitcom or any TV show for her and Zoren. “Love ni Mister, Love ni Misis” somehow has the element of a sitcom, “hindi lang tungkol sa mag-asawa ang show dahil ‘di naman kami married pa, although sa pilot episode gusto sana ni Zoren ‘yong wedding namin ang i-feature,” Carmina shared.

In their hearts, they’re truly husband and wife, what with their twins that cemented their relationship. Zoren was asked what endears Carmina to him and he said “she makes me feel single, because she doesn’t nag me…”

On her part, Carmina said “Zoren is loyal to me, ulirang ama siya sa mga anak namin.” Both Zoren and Carmina said everybody will relate to the situations in their show.

Aside from making Philippine TV history by being the first real-life partners to enter the gabfest scene as co-hosts, audiences could expect fresh and substantial insights from Zoren and Carmina, what with their standpoints as man and women, mother and father and finally, as “Mister and Misis.”

The audience must especially await how they will discuss with their guests issues on child-rearing, puberty, marriage, career and other topics concerning each member of the family. As Carmina injects her kikay attitude and Zoren, his displinarian stance, can the twosome harmoniously explore delicate family matters? Will they end up haggling or hugging?
