It is easy to lose hope when a series of untoward things happen in our lives. Especially when the Covid-19 pandemic struck, a lot of people had lost a loved one, their jobs, and had been challenged in different ways possible. Thus, the airing of ABS-CBN’s latest series “Huwag Kang Mangamba”on TFC, TFC IPTV, and iWantTFC is a timely reminder that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

“Huwag Kang Mangamba” is a series that stars Andrea Brillantes and Francine Diaz who give life to the characters of Mira and Joy, respectively. Mira may be blind, but she sees that there is hope despite everything that is happening in her life. On the other hand, Joy was blinded by the pains and hardships that are going on in her life.

Their paths cross through an accident, and with the second life given to them, they find themselves having to accomplish what seems to be an impossible mission: to restore the faith of the people in the small town of Hermoso.

In the first few days of its airing, people already draw inspiration from the stories and characters of “Huwag Kang Mangamba.” In one of the comments shared to Dreamscape Entertainment, the ABS-CBN production unit that produced the show, @sirayanlawpeace said “Kudos to ABS-CBN, HKM is very timely and has relevance in the time of uncertainty. This is what we need, something that would remind us that there is always hope in every situation.”

While @leny358855 said “Worth watching. Very inspirational. First episode pa lang grabe na ang emosyon. Congrats po sa lahat ng cast and crew. Thank you Bro!”

“Huwag Kang Mangamba” also stars Kyle Echarri, Seth Fedelin, RK Bagatsing, Dominic Ochoa, Diether Ocampo, Enchong Dee, Angeline Quinto, Soliman Cruz, Mercedes Cabral, Paolo Gumabao, Aylanna Angeles, Mylene Dizon, and Dimples Romana, and is under the direction of Jerry Lopez Sineneng, Emmanuel Q. Palo, and Darnel Villaflor.

Do not miss the inspiring and hopeful story of “Huwag Kang Mangamba” which you may watch outside the Philippines on TFC’s Primetime Bida block on cable and satellite, and via TFC IPTV and iWantTFC.

With pain and revenge as their motivation, the four Mondragons are preparing for the biggest war of their lives in the final week of the top-rating teleserye “Kadenang Ginto.”
Daniela (Dimples Romana), still harboring on the idea that Romina (Beauty Gonzalez) took everything away from her, has become vindictive than ever after her husband Carlos (Adrian Alandy) died in her arms for defending her mortal enemy.



While Daniela is cooking up her plans, Romina is determined to prove that Daniela is the mastermind behind the threats against her and her family. However, with the menacing Hector (Joko Diaz) still scheming behind bars and a spy still in their midst, Romina will have to fight tooth and nail to put a stop to her enemies.
Meanwhile, Cassie (Francine) is still in hiding to continue the charade of being dead, and Marga (Andrea)—twisted by her mother’s manipulations—has rejoined Daniela’s side and blames Romina for the death of her father. She will take matters into her own hands as she suspects that Cassie’s death was fake.
What plans does Daniela have under her sleeve, and what are Romina’s final moves? Will Cassie and Marga remain enemies until the end?

“Kadenang Ginto,” which has been airing for more than a year, has consistently topped its timeslot in terms of nationwide TV ratings and produced memes online. Its massive success has even gone international as it is currently airing in Myanmar and has also earned an Indonesian adaptation.


The series also spawned the hit teen quartet The Gold Squad, composed by stars Andrea, Francine, Seth Fedelin, and Kyle Echarri, who have recently launched their first digital movies on iWant and 1.8 million subscribers on their official YouTube channel.
