Seven brave soldiers will forge a loyal brotherhood despite their differences as they face the hardships and triumphs of their vocation as one in ABS-CBN’s newest drama series titled, “A Soldier’s Heart,” which will start airing on January 20 (Monday).
The series features a band of brothers made up of Alex (Gerald Anderson), Elmer (Vin Abrenica), Benjie (Yves Flores), Abe (Carlo Aquino), Michael (Nash Aguas), Phil (Jerome Ponce), and Jethro (Elmo Magalona), who all have different reasons for joining the army, but are bound by one goal: to protect the country.
They are also joined by Lourd (Sue Ramirez), the sole woman in the group who is out to prove that serving the country is genderless. Together they will experience all the pain, victory, and glory of being a soldier. However, as they go on to fulfill their vowed duties, they will discover secrets that will test their integrity and force them to ask the question: should they still serve their country knowing their mission is no longer aligned with the values they believe in?
As they go on their mission, what will they willingly sacrifice — family, brotherhood, integrity, or themselves?
