MANILA, Philippines - Saturday nights will be filled with live action adventures and zany misadventures as GMA 7 launches its newest sitcom for the Filipino viewers to enjoy — Kaya ng Powers.
Beginning tomorrow, the sitcom is the latest addition to the network’s slate of fresh and innovative programs to be introduced this year. It tells the story of a typical family who develops unique and distinct superpowers after an ironic twist of fate in their lives.
It stars Joey Marquez as Dr. Robert Powers, the patriarch of the family, his adoring wife Rufa Mae Quinto as Mrs. Stephanie Powers together with their children: Rhian Ramos as Hillary Powers, Sheena Halili as Shalani Powers and Elmo Magalona as Gustin Powers.
Dr. Powers is a famous scientist who discovered a secret formula that can transform any person into a superhero. His apprentice Donald played by Bearwin Meily sabotages his experiment to manipulate and wield power to a greater degree of evil.
The Powers Family survived the explosion but after 15 years, all of them were shocked to discover they have suddenly developed some strange and unexplainable abilities, talents and potentials beyond the ordinary.
What is left of Dr. Powers is his head and a hand for Stephanie. Stephanie can only regenerate her whole body after charging the ring created by her husband. Hillary, the eldest of the three children, is a shape shifter. She can transform into anything she touches and can even copy its personality or character. The second child Shalani can create fire or water depending on her emotions. Her face also changes color every time she uses her powers. Gustin, the youngest, is physically powerful. He may be a nerd and a weakling but once he controls his abilities, he becomes super strong.
Kaya ng Powers is directed by Uro dela Cruz.
