List of Mundo Mo'y Akin characters
The following is a list of major, recurring, notable and minor characters appeared in Mundo Mo'y Akin (internationally titled as Deception), a Filipino drama television series created by RJ Nuevas, developed by Denoy Navarro-Punio and produced by GMA Network.
[3] Portrayed by Sunshine Dizon, Perlita is Marilyn Mendoza's loving and protective adopted-mother and Darlene's biological mother from George Smith.
She works as a household helper at the Carbonel mansion, wherein she crosses paths with Giselle—the wife of her boss, Ziggy Carbonel—oblivious that the former is her own best friend Rodora Santos in disguise.
In an interview, Dela Cruz said that at first, she had qualms accepting the role because "she finds it a bit weird and unrealistic for her age to play a mother to a teenage girl."
After several discussions with the production people regarding the concept, story line and her character, Dela Cruz finally accepted the role.
The car accident made by her causes Marilyn's ugly face to be disfigured as a result she ends up in jail for her actions.
When Darlene returns for being a mean streak after revealing she was a daughter of Perlita and George Smith who is a multi-billionaire, she still treats Marilyn as ugly despite her face made by plastic surgery.
Young signed on to portray the antagonist character, Darlene and is served as her first project after she transferred and inked an exclusive contract with GMA Network.
[9] Portrayed by Louise delos Reyes, Marilyn is the rightful heiress of the Carbonels but was switched with Darlene and grew up in poverty.
During these hard times, Marilyn finds comfort in the company of Darlene Carbonel, the daughter of the family that her mother Perlita works for.
Good-looking, street-smart, romantic with the soul of a dreamer, Jerome finished Culinary Arts and now working as a sous-chef in the resort owned by the Carbonels.
Jerome has an unrequited crush on the bratty Darlene Carbonel, and has been long-time friends with both her and Marilyn Mendoza [a girl who despite possessing an ugly appearance lies a heart of gold].
[10][11] Portrayed by Jolina Magdangal, Aida is the niece of Charito Carbonel's late husband, Ziggy's cousin and the surrogate mother of Jerome Alvarez.
Aida finished her degree in Business Management but ended up working for the Carbonels as a constant aid to Charito's every whim and demand.
[14] Portrayed by Gabby Eigenmann, Ziggy is Doña Charito Carbonel's only son, Giselle's husband and father to Darlene.
But behind his seemingly "perfect world" hid a deep, dark secret that his wife, Giselle has been hiding for him for a long time.
Arrogant and highly judgemental, Charito believes in the importance of beauty and hates ugly people [making Perlita and Marilyn the objects of her scorn].
Unaware of her granddaughter's true identity, Charito treats Darlene like a real princess—she spoils her to no end and sees to it that she has everything.
Portrayed by Kier Legaspi, Romy is the irresponsible father of Jerome Alvarez and Aida Carbonel's hot-tempered live in partner.
Harry pretends to be Marilyn's boyfriend (to make Jerome jealous) for quite some time on the series, until he realized he already fall in love for her—for real!
Portrayed by Jojit Lorenzo, Chef Andy is Jerome's business partner, friend, confidante, and somewhat a father figure.
