“Impostora,” the remake of the first GMA-produced TV drama adapted abroad, started airing yesterday and lead star Kris Bernal couldn’t be happier about it.
“Impostora” is about Nimfa, an plain-looking street vendor who willingly undergoes surgery and complete facial reconstruction to become Rosette, a wealthy and beautiful but unhappily married wife seeking to escape her husband.
Kris tackles one of her toughest roles to date as Nimfa/Rosette. “It’s very different from the last one I did. First time ko na gumawa ng isang dual role. Dito sa soap talaga ako mahahasa, at mag-go-grow. Ito na siguro ’yung pinaka-challenging character ko. Sa ‘Impostora,’ pabago-bago ako, hindi lang sa acting, sa pananamit din, may prosthetics pa ako and iba’t-ibang makeup at look.”
Rafael Rosell, on the other hand, feels honored to be working with Kris.
“Walang arte at astig siya. To prepare for our roles, Kris and I had a few workshops together where we got to know each other better. It’s really important for the dynamics and chemistry.”
Playing equally important roles on the series are Ryan Eigenmann; Assunta de Rossi; Elizabeth Oropesa; Aicelle Santos; Vaness del Moral; Rita Daniela; Leandro Baldemor; Sinon Loresca; Yuan Francisco; and Dayara Shane with the special participation of James Blanco.

No stunt man stand
Derrick Monasterio won the admiration of many when he refused having a stunt man do his action scenes on “Mulawin Vs. Ravena (MVR).” He values his craft so much he wants his action scenes to come out naturally. “Para ma-enjoy ng viewers,” he said.
His recent fight scene with Joko Diaz on “MVR” was so intense that viewers really admired his efforts. It showed his dedication as an actor. In the series, Derrick’s love team partner is Bea Binene.

GMA Network keeps nationwide ratings lead in June
GMA Network Inc. (GMA) remains the most watched television station in the country based on data from Nielsen TV Audience Measurement, the industry’s widely trusted ratings service provider.
From June 1 to 30 (with June 25 to 30 based on overnight data), GMA led the competition across all time blocks in the National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM) with an average total day people audience share of 42.3 percent; besting ABS-CBN’s 37.6 percent by 4.7 points.
The Kapuso Network likewise kept its winning streak in Urban Luzon, which accounts for 77 percent of the total urban TV household population in the country, with total day people audience share of 49.2 percent; way ahead of competition by 18 points.
More GMA shows also made it to the list of top programs nationwide and in Urban Luzon. Multi-awarded public affairs program Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho was the most watched GMA show during the said period. It also grabbed the top spot in Urban Luzon, where 9 out of 10 shows were from GMA Network.
Closely following KMJS were Mulawin vs. Ravena, Magpakailanman, Eat Bulaga, Wowowin 24 Oras, Pepito Manaloto, My Love from the Star, Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko, Ika-6 Na Utos, Legally Blind, and the recently-concluded romantic comedy series Meant to Be.
Nielsen data is gathered through a greater number of sampled homes nationwide in comparison to Kantar Media. With approximately 900 more homes surveyed in Total Urban and Rural Philippines compared to Kantar, Nielsen data is statistically considered more representative of the total TV population.
In 2016, Nielsen TV Audience Measurement increased its client pool to a total of 36 clients/subscribers consisting of 12 local TV networks including TV5, AksyonTV, CNN Philippines, Net 25, Solar Entertainment Corporation, Viva Communications Inc.; five regional clients; two blocktimers and 17 media agencies.
