A story of love and family

MANILA, Philippines - A well-crafted story. A formidable cast. Highly-acclaimed directors. Hardworking staff and crew. World-class artistry. ABS-CBN has dreamt of fusing all these factors in one drama series. It has finally come true as Kapamilya viewers will be treated to a higher notch of TV viewing via Noah, premiering tomorrow, July 12.

A story of love and family, Noah topbills Piolo Pascual and Zaijian Jaranilla. One of the directors of the series, Lino Cayetano says both are very much suited for their character. “It was perfectly woven for Piolo and Zaijian. You will feel their chemistry as father and son. Because of this chemistry, my work as director becomes easier dahil hindi na kailangan ipilit,” Direk Lino shared. After the hit primetime series May Bukas Pa, Zaijian plays a “lost” boy who grew up with the Ungtas, a group of ape-like beings.

Paired with Piolo is Kristine Hermosa. Piolo and Kristine’s last project together was Komiks presents Mars Ravelo’s Nasaan Ka Maruja? where Piolo had a special appearance. Their reunion in Maruja filled in their 10-year hiatus away from each other after Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako.

“When I learned I’ll be working with PJ (Piolo) in Noah, natuwa ako siyempre. Noong sa Maruja kasi special appearance lang talaga siya so hindi kami nagkasama ng matagal,” Kristine says.

Noah also stars Cherry Pie Picache, Nonie Buencamino, Jolo Revilla, Ana Capri, Joem Bascon, Melissa Ricks, Renzo Cruz Baron Geisler and Jodi Sta. Maria.

Noah also boasts of its unique set — a warehouse customized to look as a forest and home of the Ungtas. However, some of the scenes were shot in Subic.

The story of Noah zeroes in Gabriel’s (Piolo) search of his missing son, Jacob (Zaijian). His travails lead him into a mysterious island called Noah where he sees his lost son whose name is now Eli. Along the way, Gabriel encounters the Ungtas and Eva (Kristine).
