COVER STORY

GMA Network opens 2016 with the new Afternoon Prime series, Wish I May. The series stars Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali, who portray young lovers Tristan and Carina.

Wish I May tells the story of Olivia (Camille Prats) who lost her daughter, Carina, because her father was against her relationship with Clark (Mark Anthony).

After many years, Olivia searches for her child but her rare condition (Chimerism – having 2 sets of DNA) prevents her from claiming maternal rights to her daughter.

Will Olivia and Carina be together again?

Can Clark and Olivia find their way back to each other’s arms? What will happen to Tristan and Carina?

Neal del Rosario and Mark Sicat Dela Cruz direct.

KAPUSO ABORAD

Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo had our kababayans in Dubai on their feet at the Bayanihan Festival 2015, which was held last December 4, 2015 at Al Mamzar Park.

Dennis left none of his fans disappointed, gamely taking photos with them during and after the show.

Dennis Trillo bonds with his admirers during the meet-and-greet session post-show.

Meanwhile, Kapuso leading man Mikael Daez and comedian Betong Sumaya brought fun and laughter to the Philippine Fiesta sa Dammam last December 18. The show was a fitting tribute to hardworking overseas Filipino workers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who warmly received the guest stars. Both Mikael and Betong proved to be a hit among the audience; some even got the chance to join the stars onstage!

GMA Pinoy TV’s 10th year #SAMPUSO celebrations may have come to an end, but GMA’s flagship international channel will continue to create memories with its subscribers all over the world this 2016. Shares GMA First Vice President for International Operations Joseph T. Francia: “We welcome another year of bridging Filipinos abroad with their home country through significant events that promote Filipino heritage such as those in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, as well as our continued commitment to providing quality programming and services overseas.”

CHRISTMAS OUTREACH

In line with GMA’s Christmas theme, MaGMAhalan Tayo Ngayong Pasko, GMA GIVES, the Kapuso Network’s corps of employee-volunteers, showered children under the care of the Food for the Hungry Philippines (an international non-profit organization dedicated to providing health, education, food and security needs of marginalized children) with holiday cheer and precious lessons on caring for the environment.

The Christmas outreach started with a story-telling session with Mang Tani. Kapuso’s resident meteorologist read the story, “Ilaw sa Isla,” which focused on climate change. Next, the young boys and girls were taught how to plant vegetables in their own backyard, in pots made from discarded plastic bottles.

Finally, it was a simple lunch but with games and entertainment numbers from rising Kapuso talent, Denise Barbacena and Startruck Avenger Kevin Sagra. Kapuso leading man Rocco Nacino led the distribution of Noche Buena loot bags.

Mang Tani shares the importance of caring for the environment.

Rocco is it!
