Tanikala telemovies on GMA

MANILA, Philippines - Christian Broadcasting Network Asia’s (CBN Asia) foray into producing horror-suspense telemovies, Tanikala, every Holy Week has been an anticipated TV event. For the third installment of the Tanikala book, three special horror-suspense telemovies will be aired from Maundy Thursday to Black Saturday, 5 p.m. on GMA 7.

Tanikala features true-to-life stories of people who battled against a pure evil that tried to control their lives.

On Maundy Thursday, Izzy Trazona will go from dancing and singing to tackling heavy drama as a wife under a mortal curse in Kulam.

While theater actor Icko Gonzalez plays a young man spiraling into sex and drug addiction in Wasak on Good Friday. The episode also features John Arcilla and Roselyn Perez.

“My role in Wasak is emotionally and physically challenging. But everyone was up for the challenge,” says Icko. “I hope that people will listen to the message of our episode.”

Miriam Quiambao faces her most challenging role as a demon-possessed faith healer in Panata, which will air on Black Saturday.

Miriam says, “Working with Panata team was challenging and yet fulfilling. I even lost my voice for a week due to the number of times I had to shout. Everyone was working in the spirit of excellence.”
