Gender switch is a rarity on Philippine TV. And that includes a man getting pregnant. An example of such will be tackled on Primetime with False Positive.
The upcoming series stars Glaiza de Castro and Xian Lim. This marks Xian's first series with the network. Love, Die, Repeat was supposedly Xian's first series with the network. However, his co-star Jennylyn Mercado became pregnant in the middle of the series' production, causing the series to be put on a hold.
False Positive involves the lives of couple Edward (Xian) and Yannie (Glaiza), whose relationship begin to fall apart days after the latter is pregnant. After a slew of arguments, Yannie cursed, hoping that Edward would understand what she was going through. Her wish was granted, albeit a little too literally, making Edward (Xian) pregnant. After a slew of mishaps on being an expectant father, Edward realizes how hard it is to be a woman and a mother, changing his attitude towards the female sex.
Joining the cast of False Positive are Rochelle Pangilinan, Dominic Roco, Buboy Villar, Herlene "Hipon Girl" Budol, Alma Concepcion, Luis Hontiveros, Yvette Sanchez, Dianne dela Fuente, Tonton Gutierrez and Nova Villa. The series is directed by Irene Villamor.
Talk about women empowerment and gender equality. The big switch awaits viewers come Monday.
