DISCOP West Asia Spotlight: GMA Worldwide

ISTANBUL: For DISCOP West Asia, which GMA Worldwide is attending for its fourth time, the company is primarily pushing its titles that have been dubbed into English.

“Our programs highlight compelling story lines, original themes and our country’s most talented artists,” says Roxanne Barcelona, the VP of GMA Worldwide. “These are backed by our skilled production teams who resonate GMA’s high standards. GMA’s wide assortment of titles impart ideas, characters and settings that reflect real life, which is why our diverse portfolio of clients are able to enjoy and identify with our shows.”

The shows that GMA is highlighting this time around include Forever, about a young plantation heiress who falls in love with an ordinary farm boy. In Indio, the goddess of war, Ynaguiginid, is forced to sacrifice her own immortality in order to save her newborn son from certain doom. Temptation of Wife is the Filipino adaptation of the top-rating Korean novela of the same name. “GMA’s ultimate goal, of course, is to expand our reach into every territory through international channel sales, program syndication and online services,” says Barcelona.
