When Duty Calls


Singaporean military drama 'When Duty Calls' is airing soon on GTV!

Another military drama is set to capture the hearts of Kapuso fans. This time, an award-winning drama from Singapore is coming to GTV--When Duty Calls. This epic drama commemorates 50 years of National Service in Singapore and was sponsored by Mindef and the Ministry of Home Affairs of Singapore.

When Duty Calls features the story of Arvin (Romeo Tan), a reservist officer who saves Daniel's (Pierre Png) life during a military mission. Unfortunately, a lot of damage occurs due to the military mission, and instead of being thankful, Daniel blames Arvin for his damaged car. From then, the two become mortal enemies. Luke (Desmond Tan) becomes their mediator and the three men eventually became friends. Luke is in love with Meghan (Paige Chua), who cannot get over the memory of her boyfriend who passed away.

Meanwhile, Jing (Felicia Chin), Luke's childhood friend, is always at his side through thick and thin. On the other hand, new military recruit Gordon (Shane Pow) dislikes fellow recruit Sean (Richie Koh) and constantly picks on him. But Sean proves himself to be a kind and compassionate buddy, and they eventually become good friends. An obstacle comes their way and their friendship is put to a test when they fall in love with the same girl. Arvin, Luke, and Daniel are patrolling a restricted military area when they encounter a terrorist attack that tests their camaraderie and loyalty. Will they be able to put their military skills to good use and stop the terrorist attack?
