As part of its 15th anniversary celebration, GMA The Heart of Asia introduces ‘Lakorn’ on Philippine TV, the Thailand counterpart to Filipino teleseryes.
With the network’s continued search for different contents from all around the world, they are bringing a new culture on local TV.
GMA First Vice President for Program Management Joey R. Abacan is driven to deliver content that does not limit the viewers’ entertainment.
“This is why we are called the Heart of Asia. We believe that the viewing preference of our audience is not only limited to the local setting, so we want to bring them the world. Now, ang gusto nga namin, ‘di lang tayo makilala as the Heart of Asia but hopefully, as the Heart of the World,” Abacan said in a statement.
The GMA executive also believes in the power of You’re My Destiny as a perfect vehicle to introduce Lakorn.
“It has the elements of drama, love, laughter and entertainment that is the trademark of what our viewers love to watch,” Abacan explained.
As the first Lakorn on Philippine TV, You’re My Destiny will feature the intertwined lives of Paolo (Wisetkaew Sukrit), an heir to a big consumer company; Martina (Esther Supreeleela), a law firm clerk who is usually taken advantage of at work; Cathy (Wecks Lanlalin), Paolo’s ballerina girlfriend; and Rafa (Tre Porapat Srikajorn), an orphan who worked hard to become famous and find his long lost sister.
Martina and Paolo find themselves in a compromising situation after a blurry night, and months later they find out that she is pregnant. With the pressure of producing an heir, will Paolo turn his back on Cathy and answer to his responsibility as a father? Meanwhile Martina also meets Rafa, and they become each other’s confidante. Will this newfound friendship help their personal struggles?
Witness the representation of Thai culture in You’re My Destiny after Inday Will Always Love You on GMA Telebabad.
