Happy lang! in Little Nanay

MANILA, Philippines - Happy lang! When it comes to family, no one should be left behind. As long as the family is together, a simple life can make everything all right.

Adding color to the happiest family-oriented drama series Little Nanay are the Batongbuhay, San Pedro and Vallejo clans.

Last Nov. 16, GMA Network opened the inspiring story of Little Nanay that brings a new flavor to the primetime habit of the viewers as it aims to promote compassion and love for all.

The Batongbuhay family is made more fun with Lolay Annie (Nora Aunor), a cool and hip lola who is still active in the band scene. She is married to Loloy Berto (Bembol Roco), a retired Major who stays home to take  care for his family. The eldest grandson Peter Parker (Mark Herras) harbors a practical personality, while Bruce Wayne (Juancho Triviño) dreams to become a celebrity one day. Their youngest sister is Tinay (Kris Bernal). Tinay has intellectual disability.  

Living next to them is the San Pedro family.

Edgar San Pedro (Keempee de Leon) and his wife Vivian (Gladys Reyes) dedicate their time in spoiling their only son Archie (Hiro Peralta). Archie is Tinay’s childhood best friend and personal superhero.

As they grow up, Archie takes the role of being one of her older brothers. But one day, when a slur of confused emotions got the best of him, something happened between Archie and Tinay. As a result, Lolay Annie wants to file a rape case against Archie. Vivian and Edgar convinced Lolay Annie and Loloy Berto to allow Archie to marry Tinay. Unfortunately after the wedding, Vivian and Edgar will take Archie to the States where he will meet Beatrice (Winwyn Marquez).

Tinay will give birth to a beautiful girl, and she will name her Chiechie (Chlaui Malayao). Unlike her mom, Chiechie will seem mature for her age. She is smart. This motivates the entire Batongbuhay family to keep on guiding Tinay in being a mother to Chiechie.

Unknown to all of them, another part of their family struggles to find Tinay. Tinay’s maternal grandfather, Don Miguel Vallejo (Eddie Garcia) is a wealthy man, and has been looking for her. However, his daughter Helga (Sunshine Dizon) will try to impede Don Migz’s efforts to find Tinay.

Completing the cast are Paolo Contis, Renz Fernandez, Rafa Siguion-Reyna and Jinri Park.

The creative team is composed of creative director for drama Roy Iglesias, creative consultant RJ Nuevas, creative unit head Des Garbes-Severino, headwriter and concept creator Lobert Villela, writers Rona Lean Sales and Glaiza Ramirez, and brainstormers Kutz Enriquez, Rey Leoncito and Nehem Dallego.

Little Nanay, created by the GMA Drama group, is supervised by the SVP for Entertainment TV Lilybeth Rasonable, VP for Drama Redgie Magno, AVP for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, program manager Hazel Abonita and executive producer Darling Torres.

From the direction of Ricky Davao, Little Nanay airs weeknights on GMA Telebabad.
