Award-winning Kapuso actress Barbie Forteza returns to primetime as she spreads good vibes and kilig via GMA Network’s latest offering ‘Inday Will Always Love You’ beginning Monday, May 21.
Produced by GMA News and Public Affairs, the newest rom-com series puts the Queen City of the South in the spotlight as it showcases the unique beauty and rich culture of Cebu making it one of the top destinations for international and local tourism. ‘Inday Will Always Love You’ will also paint the stories of Cebuanos and of the Filipino family as seen through the eyes of the Manila Girl Happylou Magtibay, played by Barbie.

A bubbly and optimistic girl, Inday Happylou is a lechon store assistant whose life makes a topsy-turvy turn when she makes a career move away from Manila in search for her father in Cebu.
Sharing her excitement over her upcoming primetime series, Barbie says that ‘Inday Will Always Love You’ is the perfect project for her after the success of her last series ‘Meant to Be’.

“Wala akong maisip na iba pang comeback na show kasi talagang binigyan ito ng effort. Teasers pa lang, kita n’yo na agad yung visuals, yung story relatable talaga. And natutuwa ako kasi kapag nagpo-post ako ng teasers, yung mga Cebuano ang nag-comment kasi andun sila mismo. Sobrang excited sila. Nakakatuwa kasi parang nilibot namin sila sa Cebu,” she shares.
Joining Barbie in spreading kilig is Kapuso heartthrob Derrick Monasterio who in the series plays Patrick, a rich Cebuano bachelor. ‘Inday Will Always Love You’ also marks the return to the small screen of the much-loved DerBie love team after their successful team-up in ‘The Half Sisters’.

Meanwhile, playing her good friend Ernest is another Kapuso heartthrob Juancho Trivino.

Adding color to Happylou’s journey of love and family drama are some of the country’s veteran actors led by Ricky Davao, Manilyn Reynes, Nova Villa, and Tina Paner.
Viewers should also look forward to the characters of Kim Rodriguez and Super Tekla as well as the all-grown up "Lumen Twins" Charisse and Charlotte Hermoso.
‘Inday Will Always Love You’ also features New Zealand-based Pinoy vlogger and Internet Star Kimpoy Feliciano, as well as character actor Buboy Villar and Fliptop Artists Mzhayt and Price Tagg.

At the helm of this upcoming series are directors Monti Parungao and Rember Gelera with head writers Zig Dulay and Nathan Arciaga.

Christmas Celebration is truly magical for everyone especially here in the Philippines. I am so glad that my parents are still here with us to celebrate this yuletide season. My father has been under Peritonial Dialysis for almost 3 years, I'm very thankful for the gift of life from God. Truly every Christmas celebration for us is magical because we are complete.
Something magical will continuously unfold on television as GMA Network launches its 2016 Christmas campaign dubbed "Maniwala Sa Magic Ng Pasko," the first locally-produced 3D animated Christmas campaign. It was launched last November 7, in 24 Oras.

"During such a busy time of the year, we hope that, by spreading the message of hope, every Kapuso will get to experience the joy and limitless possibilities that come with believing in the magic of the Season," says GMA Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe Gozon.

The story. Magic Crayons, is the first in this three-part series and highlights the magical feeling of having one's wish granted for Christmas in the eyes of a child.

"It is felt that the use of animated images best complements the essence of our Holiday message this year - to believe in the magic of Christmas. Through this, it is hoped that even our youngest Kapusos will enjoy our campaign and embrace the meaning of our Christmas message this season," GMA President and COO Mr. Gilberto Duavit Jr. shares.

The Maniwala Sa Magic Ng Pasko Christmas campaign comes at the heels of GMA's animated anthology series Alamat's win of the country's first "Best of Festival" Award at the US International Film and Video Festival (USIFVF), a recognition given to an outstanding entry among Gold Camera awardees in the USIFVF.

GMA Network already did something Magical this coming Christmas with their campaign. It will touch your heart and give you hope and inspiration that no matter how hard life is and with so many struggles coming our way, we should never lose faith and continue believing and this should start as a child, the kids around us should never falter in wishing for the best even if it's not Christmas. Through the eyes of a child, every thing is possible.
GMA's Christmas stories are the brainchild of GMA's Program Support Department headed by Regie Bautista (First Vice President), Dino Garcia (Assistant Vice President), Hasmin Marable (Assistant Vice President), BJ Camaya (Associate Creative Director), Catherine Ko (Project Manager), Nicolle Castillo (Writer), and Juan Javier, Reybert Ramos, Laqy Laqueo (Artists); and brought to life by GMA's Post Production Department composed of Edward Achacoso (First Vice President), Paul Ticzon (Vice President and Head of Operations), and April Canasa-Angeles (Senior Manager, Video Graphics Section).

The theme song of this year's Christmas campaign is sung by Julie Anne San Jose with lyrics written by BJ Camaya and Nicolle Castillo and music composed by Len Calvo and Ann Figueroa.
