Ok Ako in GMA


'Ok Ako' is a grand collaboration between media giant GMA Network and the National Council for Children's Television (NCCT).

Children's mental health is a foundation of their overall development. It affects how they think, feel, and interact with others and is crucial for their emotional resilience and academic performance. Regrettably, many Filipino children experience serious mental health challenges that frequently go unnoticed or unaddressed due to stigma or lack of available resources.

The National Council for Children's Television (NCCT), through its National Endowment Fund for Children's Television (NEFCTV) Grants Program, co-produced a series that aims to raise awareness about these pressing issues. The GMA Network, Inc's OK Ako is a light drama trilogy that tackles mental health challenges faced by today's youth, blending advocacy and entertainment. By bringing these conversations into the public eye, the series plays a key role in educating families and communities about the importance of mental health. It serves as a powerful tool in reducing stigma, encouraging open dialogue, and promoting early intervention.

By supporting initiatives like the OK Ako series, we can collectively work towards a future where every child has access to the care and support they need to thrive.

For those who need immediate support, or if you know anyone who might need assistance, you may reach the Makabata Helpline at 1383.

Let's stand together to ensure that mental health is prioritized and that every child receives the attention and compassion they deserve.
