MANILA, Philippines - Viewers get a daily dose of real-life’s lessons and triumphs as GMA 7’s Tunay Na Buhay, a 30-minute biographical documentary, airs weekdays after Kusina Master beginning today.
Since it premiered two years ago, Tunay na Buhay has featured stories of unique and interesting tales of hope, courage and determination. The stories shared by celebrities tackle themes and lessons meant to inspire and celebrate the foibles and triumphs of the human spirit.

Through Rhea’s sincere, light, probing yet heartfelt informal interviews, she is able to draw out the innermost thoughts and emotions of her subjects as they share their stories with the audience, look back at their glory days, contemplate on the lessons they have learned and finally come to terms with some of the biggest intrigues and controversies that they have been associated with in the past.
For its pilot week, Tunay na Buhay takes a peek at the colorful lives of Elizabeth Ramsey, John Regala, Cristina “Kring-Kring†Gonzales-Romualdez, Cherrie Madrigal and Inday Garutay.
