After months of keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, GMA Network’s well-loved fantasy series Mulawin vs. Ravena is down to its last two weeks and its lead stars shared their sentiments on what they’ll miss most about the show.
Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo who reprised his role as Gabriel says he is grateful to have worked with such talented and professional artists. “Mami-miss ko siyempre ‘yung samahan namin everyday on taping. Masaya ako na iba’t ibang henerasyon yung mga nakatrabaho ko dito at swerte ako kasi talagang prepared sila at nakita ko yung passion nila, kung gaano sila ka-proud.” He adds that they’re glad to have made a positive impact on their viewers. “’Kahit magtatapos na, ‘yung mga ginawa namin, yung mga na-achieve namin, lahat ng taong napasaya namin, masaya kami dun,” he says.
Bea Binene, Anya in the series, highlighted the lessons she learned. “Challenging ‘yung role pero kahit mahirap ‘yung ginagawa mo, kailangan masaya mo siyang gagawin. Natutuwa kami sa pagsuporta ng mga tao and here, everyone feels like a family,” she says. Her on-screen partner Derrick Monasterio who breathes life to Almiro shared that he’s happy with the immense support they received every night. “Nakakataba ng puso ‘yung mga nakikita namin sa Twitter at sa social media na talagang sinusubaybayan nila yung story tsaka naaapektuhan sila sa characters namin. Malungkot dahil matatapos na pero masaya dahil sinubaybayan nila,” he exclaims.
Kiko Estrada who plays the role of Rafael also said that he would miss the entire staff. “Everyone, from the staff, the crew, the cast, parang pamilya na kami dito eh and I will really miss everyone. Yung experience na lahat kami dito teamwork, who wouldn’t love that di ba,” he shares.
Young Kapuso love team Bianca Umali and Miguel Tanfelix as Lawiswis and Pagaspas also expressed their gratitude to everyone who supported the series. “The cast, the fight scenes, the training na ginawa namin for this…lahat unforgettable. Thankful ako kasi naging maganda yung pagtanggap ng mga tao sa amin and sa show,” Bianca says. Miguel on the other hand is also grateful and hopes that the viewers loved the characters as much as they did. “Thankful ako na na-enjoy nila at nagustuhan nila ‘yung binigay namin sa kanila and sana tumatak ‘yung bawat character namin sa Mulawin vs. Ravena, pati na ‘yung values na pinakita namin,” he says.
Meanwhile, the fight between good and evil and the war between the Mulawins and the Ravenas are more imminent than ever. Humans are suffering in the hands of the Ravenas as they grow stronger every day. Sacrifices must be made and the Mulawins need to find a way to defeat the enemy. But are they strong enough to save the world and their race once again?

Super Radyo DZBB recently launched its latest station ID and music video as GMA Network’s flagship AM radio station cements its mandate of providing fair and balanced news to the public.
The new station ID, seen on GMA-7 and GMA News TV, presented the DZBB team in full force and headlined by Dobol B sa News TV anchors Mike Enriquez, Arnold Clavio, Ali Sotto and Joel Reyes Zobel.
GMA Vice President for Radio Operations Glenn F. Allona said that since DZBB’s reach has expanded with the mix of radio and television, a strong theme is created for this project to reflect the station’s commitment to public service through news and information. “The presence of our content in television is an opportunity for us to show that DZBB is not just a pool of voices but of real, dedicated and hardworking people who are committed to Serbisyong Totoo,” said Allona.
Radio GMA President Mike Enriquez admitted that being on two platforms at the same time is more challenging since their reports now need to have a video component. “It makes it a lot more challenging but a lot more exciting. This kind of outlook is shared by all the men and women of DZBB that we are not just being listened to, but now we are also being seen,” he added.
As DZBB continues to respond to the ever-changing needs of the listening and viewing public, it also reaffirms its commitment to live up to the motto Walang kinikilingan, Walang pinoprotektahan, Serbisyong totoo lamang.
“This is not an empty slogan. It’s a way of life. As an individual, it helps the way you deal with other people—with fairness and balance, and always, always wanting to hear both sides of the story,” Enriquez emphasized.
