Healthy competition among lead stars of Faithfully

 CEBU, Philippines - Faithfully’s five beautiful lead actresses are quickly becoming the talk of the town not only of their charisma but also their effective character portrayals in GMA’s high rating afternoon drama.

Maxene Magalona, Isabel Oli, Vaness del Moral, Michelle Madrigal and Isabelle Daza clearly stood out on the small screen with their convincing performances and acting abilities. The program has diversified the star power of these ladies making them household names. 

Faithfully’s plot twists and intriguing dialogues likewise spark the curiosity of afternoon viewers and the consistent high TV ratings only show the immense popularity of the series all over the country as reflected from data of Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.
