Iza, Sunshine, Angelika, and Maxene star on GMA Life TV’s first ever Pinoy English-dubbed series

 
Providing Filipinos abroad the chance to once again enjoy two of the most sought-after Philippine television drama, the English-dubbed versions of “Impostora”(“The Impostor”) and “Una Kang Naging Akin” (“When You Were Mine”) also promise to make the programs available to non-Filipino speakers and younger Pinoy viewers who find comprehending the native language a bit of a challenge. 
 
Topbilled by some of the most versatile Kapuso actresses today – Iza Calzado and Sunshine Dizon in “The Impostor,” and Angelika dela Cruz and Maxene Magalona in “When You Were Mine” – these new offerings from GMA Life TV surely bring to the spotlight the acting prowess of the four actresses.

“This initiative is in line with our thrust to make GMA Life TV’s programming even more relevant to the needs of its growing viewership around the world”, shares Joseph T. Francia, Vice President and Head of Operations for GMA International.
         
GMA Life TV’s 8 Program Genres

“The Impostor” and “When You Were Mine” are just two of the offerings from GMA Life TV’s newest program line-up, belonging to the channel’s STORIES OF LIFE drama genre. 
 
And GMA Life TV’s commitment to offer a generous helping of Pinoy programs to its subscribers worldwide goes beyond drama and extends to seven more genres – reality and talk, fashion, cooking, kiddie, sports, info, and religious – name it and GMA Life TV has it!
 
Joining “The Impostor” and “When You Were Mine” in STORIES OF LIFE are other drama series “Ikaw Sana” (Jennylyn Mercado, Mark Herras, and Pauleen Luna) and “Daisy Siete” (SexBomb Girls with Rochelle Pangilinan); the youth-oriented romantic series “Love to Love”; the drama anthology “Maynila” (hosted by former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza); and the movie blocks “Pinoy Cine Klasika” (hosted by German “Kuya Germs” Moreno) and “Reel Life.”

All of these personalities TALK ABOUT LIFE in its truest form.

Leading the A-listers in this block is half-Filipina, half-French Solenn Heussaff with her makeover reality program “Fashbook.” Next is Ricky Reyes with “Life and Style with Gandang Ricky Reyes.” A backstage pass to the world of beauty and fashion is also in store for viewers in “Generation M: Search for the Philippines’ Top Fashion Crew 2011.” There’s also Tonipet Gaba in “Pop Talk,” also soon to be seen in GMA Life TV.
