GMA Network’s big three

Kapuso primetime shows “Mulawin Vs. Ravena,” “My Love From The Star,” and “Meant To Be” continue to be talk of the town as they tug at the hearts of viewers with relatable storylines about life and love.
The hottest love teams and teen stars – Bea Binene as Anya, Derrick Monasterio as Almiro/Rodrigo, Kiko Estrada as Rafael, Bianca Umali as Lawiswis and Miguel Tanfelix as Pagaspas – have made their much-awaited debut on “Mulawin Vs. Ravena.”
Undeniable kilig brought on by Steffi Chavez (Jennylyn Mercado) and Matteo Domingo (Gil Cuerva) follows in the local adaptation of “My Love From The Star.”
Top-rating series “Meant To Be” keeps viewers on the edges of their seats as the boys – Jai Patel (Addy Raj), Ethan Spencer-Hughes (Ivan Dorschner), Yuan Lee (Ken Chan), Andoy dela Cruz (Jak Roberto) – go all out in trying to win Billie’s (Barbie Forteza) heart.
The shows air on GMA’s Telebabad block weeknights after “24 Oras.”
