Maalaala Mo Kaya, abbreviated as MMK, is a drama anthology series produced by ABS-CBN Entertainment and hosted by Charo Santos-Concio.
Overview[]
From March 14, 2020, the production of the program's new episodes were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, airing reruns of old episodes until May 2, 2020, due to the temporary closure of ABS-CBN because of the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), following the expiration of the network's 25-year franchise granted in 1995.
The program is named after the eponymous song, "Maalaala Mo Kaya" by Constancio de Guzman. The song also serves as the program's opening theme, which was performed by Dulce. Beginning in the mid-2000s airings, the opening has been covered by Carol Banawa, and then by JM Yosures, replacing Banawa's version. Dulce's version is also used in the final episode in the closing credits.
A classics re-run version of the anthology series MMK Classics premiered on June 3, 2012, on TFC. Because of the outreach abroad, the TFC series focused on fully translating every episode with English subtitles. The Philippine version entitled "MMK Klasiks" aired on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Gold afternoon block as a temporary replacement program from December 17, 2012, to January 18, 2013, replacing Angelito: Ang Bagong Yugto before replaced into May Isang Pangarap. MMK Klasiks also airs on DZMM TeleRadyo as a fill-in to its radio counterpart, because the latter was pre-recorded, as well as on Jeepney TV dubbed as The Best of MMK and currently streaming on YouTube channel every 9:00 pm.
On November 21, 2022, Charo Santos-Concio announced that the show will air its three-part finale episode before the final episode on December 10, 2022. A special "MMK Tatlong Dekadang Pasasalamat: Grand Kumustahan" was then aired on December 24, 2022.
This series is currently aired on Kapamilya Online Live Global every Sunday & Monday, 3:00 am, and also re-run on All TV every Saturday, 3:00 pm, as part of the Jeepney TV sa All TV block.
In April 2025, the show has been revived for its second iteration after over two years of hiatus with Charo Santos-Concio returning as host. It would be also simulcasted on All TV, thus marking the return of these program to channels 2 and 16 in Mega Manila and regional channels previously held by ABS-CBN until 2020. This occurred just a year after ABS-CBN Corporation and All TV's owner, Advanced Media Broadcasting System (AMBS), signed content agreements to air ABS-CBN programs on All TV.
The series later revived and premiered on April 26, 2025.
