After inspiring viewers for almost a year on air, MAKA Barkada is leveling up Saturday afternoons with a spinoff, MAKA LOVESTREAM.
In this brand-new youth-oriented program, the versatility of the beloved barkada takes center stage -- stepping into fresh roles and new stories that explore dreams, friendships, family, and love in today's generation.
Each month, a different love story will be featured with a new setting, fresh characters, and unexpected twists, all brought to life by the MAKA Barkada we've grown to love.
The first installment stars singer-actress Zephanie as Faith -- a cheerful K-culture fan determined to manifest her dreams through a 28-day ritual. As the family breadwinner caring for her ailing father, Faith has no time for romance… until she crosses paths with Shan Vesagas as Joaquin, a brooding Manila boy with anger issues and a haunting viral past. Drawn to her warmth, Joaquin finds a calm he didn't expect. But is he destined to derail Faith's manifestations or become the love she never asked for?
Adding star power to the series are '90s youth-oriented show icons Angelu de Leon and Bobby Andrews, reuniting on-screen as Faith's parents.
The MAKA Barkada remains complete with Josh Ford, Marco Masa, Ashley Sarmiento, Anton Vinzon, Chanty, Sean Lucas, John Clifford, Olive May, Bryce Eusebio, Mad Ramos, and Elijah Alejo -- all taking on exciting new characters.
Catch the premiere of MAKA LOVESTREAM on September 6, 2025, airing Saturdays at 4:45 PM, right after Wish Ko Lang on GMA and Kapuso Stream.
