LOOK: Jane Oineza as Hidilyn Diaz on ‘MMK’
Jane Oineza is set to play the Filipino Olympic medalist Hidilyn Diaz

MANILA, Philippines – Hidilyn Diaz won the Philippines its first Olympic medal in 20 years and her story will soon be told on the long-running series Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK).

In the trailer for the episode, released on YouTube on Wednesday, September 21, Jane Oineza plays Hidilyn, who won a silver medal in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in the women’s 53-kg weightlifting division.


 

A young Hidilyn is also shown in the trailer, where she’s invited to join a group of boys trying out weightlifting. After she is invited over, one of them says, “Hindi niya ‘yan kaya, babae ‘yan eh.” (She can’t do it, she’s a girl.)

Hidilyn is also the first female from the Philippines to win an Olympic medal and the first non-boxer to win a medal for the country since 1936.

The episode with Jane as Hidilyn is set to be released on Saturday, September 24 at 8:15 pm on ABS-CBN. – Rappler.com
