"Tatlong Henerasyon ng Sipag at Tiyaga" (English: "Three Generations of Hard Work and Perseverance") is the sixth episode of 2019 of the Filipino drama anthology series Magpakailanman. Written by Gina Marissa Tagasa-Gil and directed by Mark A. Reyes, it aired on GMA Network in the Philippines on February 9, 2019. The episode depicts the story of three generations of the Aguilar family, which includes Filemon Aguilar and Cynthia Villar.[1] This was also the only episode that was not narrated by its host Mel Tiangco, however it was narrated by Cynthia Villar herself.
The episode was met with controversy due to it airing while Cynthia Villar was a candidate for the 2019 Philippine Senate election; "Tatlong Henerasyon" was broadcast three days before the official campaign period for the candidates began, taking advantage of a loophole in the banning of any media portrayals of candidates during the campaign period.[2]
