ABS-CBN Licenses The Promise into Cambodia

MANILA: The Filipino series The Promise is getting localized in Cambodia following a deal between Cambodian Television Network (CTN) and ABS-CBN.

The Promise is one of the Philippines’ most successfully distributed series of all time. It stars Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa as Angelo (Rosales) and Yna (Hermosa). Cambodian actors will be cast for the CTN version, which should enter production in the first quarter of 2013.

ABS-CBN’s international distribution division also recently sold the top-rating drama She Wolf: The Last Sentinel into Thailand.

Leng Raymundo, the head of ABS-CBN’s international distribution unit, commented, "The global viewers recognize and demand for ABS-CBN programs as they remain true to local cultural sensitivities. It has a definite global appeal, heartwarming relatable stories that have high production values, and good-looking actors that cross borders.”
