ON ITS 73rd anniversary, GMA Network continues to prove that love is what makes it stand the test of time — the love between the Network and the audience.
To showcase this love, the broadcast giant captivates its beloved Kapuso viewers with exciting new offerings and surprises made from the heart. Airing in June and July, each program explores the many facets of love.
Promising Kapuso viewers with high-octane action and a whole lot of love and laughter is ‘Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis’ airing this June 4. Bannered by the Titanic Action Star, Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr., the series tells the story of Police Major Bartolome ‘Tolome’ Reynaldo (Bong), a police officer admired for his good looks, fearlessness, and popularity with ladies but is grounded by his great love and "fear" for his feisty yet sweet wife, Gloria (Beauty Gonzalez). One day, Tolome crosses paths with Elize (Max Collins), a beautiful and sexy lady who vows to work with him in tracking down a kidnapping syndicate. Completing the star-studded cast are Sparkle’s sought-after stars Kate Valdez and Kelvin Miranda.
Sparkle Sweethearts Mavy Legaspi and Kyline Alcantara are set to spread kilig to viewers as they try to find true love in their upcoming series, ‘LUV IS: Love at First Read.’ Airing this June 12, ‘LUV IS: Love at First Read’ is the second collaboration project of GMA Network and Wattpad WEBTOON Studios. The story is based on the hit web novel by author “Chixnita,” which has over 23 million views on Wattpad. It revolves around Kudos (Mavy), a secret romantic searching for the perfect girl, who believes that Abby (Kyline) is the one for him.
Meanwhile, beginning June 19, viewers further feel the importance of love for family through the biggest murder mystery series on Philippine primetime TV: ‘Royal Blood.’ The upcoming masterpiece is bannered by Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes. Joining the stellar cast are Megan Young, Mikael Daez, Dion Ignacio, Lianne Valentin, and Rhian Ramos, together with the special participation of Mr. Tirso Cruz III. ‘Royal Blood’ follows the story of Napoy (Dingdong), a bastard son of a business tycoon and a loving single father, who becomes the primary suspect in his father’s death.
GMA Afternoon Prime also boasts of its upcoming show ‘Magandang Dilag’– premiering June 26 – that will inspire viewers to love their true beauty even more. Starring Herlene Budol and GMA leading man Benjamin Alvez, with talented actor Rob Gomez, the series revolves around Gigi (Herlene), an optimistic woman who inherits enormous wealth from her estranged father but is fooled by her most beloved man.
Kapuso supporters will also definitely love the intense competition from the action-packed talent-driven entertainment series, ‘Battle of the Judges,’ hosted by Asia’s Multimedia Star Alden Richards. Premiering on July 15, this exciting program will be joined by celebrity judges: King of Talk Boy Abunda, box office queen Bea Alonzo, multi-talented comedian Jose Manalo, and GMA Network Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group and President of GMA Films Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes. Together, they must select and then champion talented performers from every entertainment genre.
The world-class lineup of anniversary offerings is made even more special as Asia’s Limitless Star Julie Anne San Jose and Total Heartthrob and Performer Rayver Cruz team up for the very first time on the silver screen in GMA Public Affairs’ ‘The Cheating Game.’ Hitting the cinemas this July, ‘The Cheating Game’ is an edgy, genre-bending romance about the games people play after getting cheated on.
Adding to the list of exciting anniversary surprises is the GMA Thanksgiving Gala 2023, happening this July. Kapuso fans should watch out for their favorite stars as they come together and walk on the red carpet to a night filled with love to celebrate the Network’s 73rd year.
