Magpakailanman is back

MANILA, Philippines - GMA Network brings back the award-winning and high-rating drama anthology Magpakailanman to mesmerize the hearts of the Kapuso viewers once more. It will be hosted by multi-awarded broadcast journalist  Mel Tiangco (photo).

Magpakailanman, an original concept and creation of the GMA Entertainment TV Group, initially ran from 2002 to 2007 and has twice been awarded the Best Drama Series category at the Catholic Mass Media Awards. During its five-year run, the program, which was a consistent top-rater, inspired the lives of many Filipinos and promoted good family values to its viewers.

Because of the growing clamor to revive the program, the network is happy to announce the return of Magpakailanman with new elements and more in-depth investigation and dramatization of real-life inspired stories.

Aside from merely telling and narrating the story, Mel will take a more participative role in making each story not only inspiring and uplifting but also informative and interesting. This will be about  “the real story behind the story.”

Mel, a popular and credible news and TV personality, remains to be the ideal host of the well-loved drama anthology. A multi-awarded journalist that delivers investigative and informative news and at the same time a woman with a soft spot and of substance that a lot of people can relate and look up to — a perfect combination for Magpakailanman’s new offering.

Magpakailanman premieres in November.
