Celebrating its first year anniversary with a bang is GMA Network and Regal Entertainment’s weekly anthology series “Regal Studio Presents.”
The program, with its values-based storylines and family-oriented episodes, has consistently provided positive vibes and inspiration to Kapuso viewers every Sunday afternoon.
It will mark its first year anniversary celebrations with three brand new episodes.
GMA’s First Vice President for Program Management Department Joey R. Abacan said that to make these anniversary episodes special, they had to trust their guts and gamble on a lot of aspects.
“One thing that we’ve learned from Mother Lily is you have to have a heart of a gambler. Because in anything that you’re going to be doing, when you’re gambling, there’s a possibility that you’re going to be hitting a jackpot. I could assure you that the three series have very good stories. But as far as the casting is concerned, we took it a little bit further. Mahilig tayong manuod ng Hollywood movies ‘di ba? ‘Di natin alam na mag ki-click pala sina Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. Dito rin gusto ko makita kung mag-ki-click sina Lianne at Carlo, kung mag-ki-click sina Yasser at Althea, kung mag-ki-click sina Jana at Bryce. Pag nag click ‘yang mga ‘yan, masasabi ko na nadadala na ako ng mga artista at mga direktor ko, and nagse-serve talaga ng purpose yung ‘Regal Studio Presents’ for doing all these things,” he said.
Regal Entertainment Inc. and Regal Multimedia Inc. COO & Vice President Roselle Monteverde shared the secret behind the success of the program.
“It’s all about putting together great minds and great talent. Passionate people make ‘Regal Studio Presents.’ Lahat ng involved focused na mapaganda ang bawat episode,” she said.
As to casting young stars for the episodes, she explained, “We tapped all these bagong artista sa GMA-7 and putting them together para mabago yung look, mabago yung pino-project na mga stories.”
“Natutuwa rin ako kasi lahat ng directors na nakakatrabaho ko are very passionate sa mga project. So, it’s really hard work from everyone, a lot of effort and brainstorming and concepts from the creative group. I’m happy and glad na napapasaya namin ang mga tao tuwing Linggo ng hapon,” she revealed.
Starting Sept. 11 at 4:35pm, “Regal Studio Presents” will air brand-new and feel-good episodes beginning with the romcom “Love Your Beat” featuring Lianne Valentin and Carlo San Juan as directed by Crisanto Aquino.
It follows the story of two individuals who forge a special bond through music.
On September 18, Kapuso viewers will value the importance of honesty and hard work through “Eat Must Be Love” which is bannered by Almira Muhlach, Bryce Eusebio, and Jana Taladro.
Directed by Xion Lim, the offering revolves around a girl with a big dream of working in a high-class culinary establishment someday.
Completing the month-long celebration on September 25 is the heart-warming episode “Win a Date” which stars Yasser Marta and Althea Ablan.
From the direction of Joel Ferrer, the episode is about a big fan of a celebrity heartthrob winning an exclusive one-on-one date with him.
