Beginning June 30 (Monday), GMA Network captivates viewers with a sweeping love story for all generations titled My Destiny that resonates the great love we have for the people to whom we have dedicated all our life's sacrifices. It is a heartwarming drama that nurtures every viewer's identity as a selfless lover.

After their successful team-up in the phenomenal drama series My Husband's Lover, Kapuso prime artists Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez once again charm the television screens through a great love story that heralds their addicting chemistry and how it is made even more exciting by Rhian Ramos, Sid Lucero, and Ms. Lorna Tolentino completing the ensemble.

Showing off Carla's versatility in acting is her portrayal of Grace Dela Rosa, a woman who's willing to sacrifice everything, even her romantic aspiration, for her family. Grace decided to work abroad and walk away from her own family to give way to her sister's happiness.

Saddened by Grace's decision to work abroad is Lucas Matthew Andrada, portrayed by Kapuso leading man Tom Rodriguez. Trying to mend his broken heart, Matthew continues his medical studies. Matthew then meets Joy at medical school.

Joy is the younger sister of Grace who suffers from leukemia. She's losing her will to live until she meets Matthew. Will Joy's illness lead her to fulfilling her heart's desires? Portraying this challenging role is Kapuso leading lady Rhian Ramos.

Hoping to earn the love and attention of Grace is Jacob Perez whom she will meet abroad. Being Grace's only companion, Jacob will eventually develop feelings for her. Will he win the heart of Grace? Joining the cast as Jacob is award-winning actor Sid Lucero.

Over their intertwined love is the caring mother Agnes Dela Rosa, which will be given depth by the industry's grand-slam best actress Lorna Tolentino, trying to balance her attention towards her daughters -- Grace and Joy. Despite her tendency to focus on Joy, Agnes still tries to be there for Grace. But when she discovers her daughters' affection on one man, can she be able to give a fair advice?

Playing equally important and exceptional roles in the program are some of the industry's respected artists: Al Tantay as Arnold Dela Rosa, the father of Grace and Joy; Dennis Roldan as Mateo Andrada, a cardiac surgeon and father of Matthew; Ayen Munji-Laurel as Ruth Perez, the devoted mother of Jacob; and the Asia's Pop Diva Ms. Kuh Ledesma as Selena Andrada, an in-demand cosmetic surgeon of celebrities and a mother to Matthew.

Set to add romance in the series is the love triangle of Paul (Ruru Madrid), Alex (Ashley Ortega), and Nikka (Gabrielle Garcia). Ruru plays the role of Paul Andrada, the adventurous younger brother of Matthew and boyfriend of Nikka. Due to her closeness to the couple, Alex who is the best friend of Nikka, becomes Paul's confidant when Nikka fails to comfort him. Will there be a chance for Paul and Alex to be together?

From making the hit TV series Marimar, Dyesebel, Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang, Stairway to Heaven, and I Heart You, Pare!, just to name a few, Bb. Joyce Bernal once again takes pride to helm this primetime series.

My Destiny offers the story of love and sacrifice between man and woman, between siblings, and between child and parent. Witness how every character can sacrifice for the one they love.
