Gaganap si Michelle Vito bilang isang dalagang gustong palitan ang kanyang pangalan matapos ang unti-unting pagbabago ng kanyang kasarian dahil sa isang hindi pangkaraniwang kondisyon ngayong Sabado (May 19) sa “Ipaglaban Mo.”
Noon pa man ay bargas at matigas na kumilos si Gemma (Michelle). Kapag tinutukso ng iba ay lagi nandyan ang kanyang bestfriend na si Elaine (Karen Reyes) para ipinagtatanggol siya.
Dahan dahan mapapansin ni Gemma ang pagbabago sa kanyang katawan — lalalim ang kanyang boses at titigil rin ang kanyang buwanang dalaw. Sa kanyang pagpunta sa doktor, malalaman niyang mayroon siyang Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, isang kondisyon kung saan mayroon siyang katangian ng babae at lalaki dahil sa hormones.
Hindi pa natatapos ang kanyang suliranin nang mapagtanto niyang mahal na niya si Elaine. Dahil sa nangyaring pagbabago, maiisipan ni Gemma na dumulog sa korte upang palitan ang kanyang pangalan.
Sapat na kaya ang kanyang kondisyon para payagan siya ng korteng palitan ang kanyang pangalan?
Huwag palampasin ang episode ng “Ipaglaban Mo” na pinamagatang “Pangalan” sa ilalim ng direksyon ni Tak Barrios ngayong Sabado (Mayo 19), pagkatapos ng “It’s Showtime” sa ABS-CBN o sa ABS-CBN HD (SkyCable ch 167) na may replay tuwing Miyerkules sa DZMM TeleRadyo at DZMM Radyo Patrol 630.

From young lady to young man…
MICHELLE WANTS TO HAVE A MAN’S NAME IN “IPAGLABAN MO”
Michelle Vito takes on the challenging role of a woman who wants to change her name after her body naturally transitions into that of a man due to a rare hormonal condition this Saturday (May 19) in “Ipaglaban Mo.”
Gemma grew up boyish and her actions were stiff and tough like a man. Whenever she gets bullied, her best friend Elaine (Karen Reyes) was always there to protect her.
One day she noticed sudden changes in her body— her voice deepened and her monthly period gradually stopped. It was found that she has a Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, a condition where a person has both female and male characteristics due to hormonal imbalance.
Her problems did not end there when she also realized that she is really slowly becoming a man and grew feelings for Elaine. Because of her situation, she felt a need to change her name and requested for it in court.
Would her disorder be enough for the court to approve her request to change her name?
Don’t miss the “Pangalan” episode of “Ipaglaban Mo,” directed by Tak Barrios, this Saturday (May 19) after “It’s Showtime” on ABS-CBN with a replay every Wednesday on DZMM TeleRadyo and DZMM Radyo Patrol 630.
