GMA launches TV plug

MANILA, Philippines – GMA 7 celebrates 59 years of success with the loudest drumbeat that cheers “Greater and Grateful at 59.” To address its gratitude to viewers, the network announces its new primetime shows in the second half of 2009 via a special TV plug.

Premiering today in S.O.P., the 90-seconder plug features the biggest Kapuso stars who will take the lead in the new primetime offerings. The TV plug will showcase themes of love, goodness, anxiety, hope and trust.

Rosalinda gets its Filipino flavor with Carla Abellana. In the plug, she walks through an alley showered with petals towards love interest Geoff Eigenmann (Fernando Jose). Rosalinda will air in July.

Meanwhile, Marian Rivera soars to even unimaginable heights while clad in a two-piece costume as Darna. Marian was handpicked by the network to revive the all-time favorite comics character, a favorite among the younger crowd of viewers.

Survivor Philippines, on the other hand, carries on its second season in August, still with Paolo Bediones. While the first season proved to be action-packed and drama-stricken, the upcoming one looks even grander.

Dingdong Dantes stands as the male opposite in Stairway to Heaven. He goes through a carnival of thoughts, but remains hopeful in the game of love.

Richard Gutierrez is the male lead in Full House. Away from his usual hype for action, this one finds Richard thrilled for family, love and a long lasting relationship.
