Says the grateful Heart, “I’m very, very flattered [to be part of the show.] Thank you for giving me a chance with this wonderful project [where I’m] getting to work with great actors and actresses.”
“Lahat ng naipon kong passion, ilalabas ko dito,” the actress promises before ending with: “God bless this show.”

[And] we’re very happy.” The young Richard will also serve as a stunt director for the show. Program Unit Manager (PUM) Redgie Magno announces that “GMA is so excited with this project.” But she also warns the production team to spread out the budget, and “not just focus on the pilot.“I’m challenging my two directors here. I’m challenging my creative team.”
Ninja Tasya and the Quest for the Missing Princess
After being taunted by her Aunt Ketay that she was given away by her own mother, Tasya became distracted at work. And when she almost lost the Magical Antipara to a customer, Tasya became flustered. But when she discovered a mysterious book about a princess, Tasya thought she finally found something to distract her from her Mother’s Day woes—until she realized, that is, that the book had no ending.

GMA-7 allots P1.2B for 2008 expansion
Broadcasting firm GMA Network Inc. is spending P1.2 billion for regional expansion and completion of its new studios this year, its chairman Felipe Gozon said Wednesday.
"Last year, we allotted over P690 million in capex but did not spend it all, so we carried over what was left to this year," he said.
GMA-7 is building a P1-billion four-story annex, which is directly across the company's compound on Timog Avenue, Quezon City. Construction of the annex began in November 2006.
Gozon said the network also intends to strengthen its signal outside Metro Manila, particularly in Southern Luzon.
For the first four months of 2008, GMA-7 reported a total revenue of P3.5 billion, up 5 percent from P3.37 billion a year ago despite the absence of political advertising. "Last year included P350 million political ad spending," said Gozon.
He said that as of May 20, GMA-7 and subsidiary QTV's combined airtime gross sales already exceeded the P1-billion mark.
"We've been receiving high interest from non-volume advertisers who are starting to see the cost efficiency of television as an advertising venue. These advertisers are charged at a more expensive rate," Gozon said.
He said that first-quarter advertising minutes grew 11.6 percent year-on-year.
For 2008, GMA-7 is eyeing a 20-percent increase in net income to P2.77 billion
