Afternoons are set to blaze as GMA Afternoon Prime unveils its newest drama series, Apoy sa Dugo, premiering this March 2.

Toplining the series are Sparkle stars Derrick Monasterio as Marco, Ashley Ortega as Angel, Elle Villanueva as Vanessa, taking on their boldest and most emotionally charged roles to date.

Vanessa is a noble lawyer, who defends the poor and voiceless people for free. She is also a loving partner to Marco, a gentle and reserved businessman, who chose his own family over his parents' ambition. Together, they appear to have the perfect life until a long-lost family member comes knocking.

The start of their nightmare arrives in the form of Angel, Vanessa’s half-sister. Drawn by a desperate longing for love and family, Angel becomes dangerously obsessed with the sister she never had and will stop at nothing to keep Vanessa to herself. 

When Vanessa discovers the terrible things Angel has done ‘out of love,’ she makes a choice that the latter cannot forgive. Thus, the heated sibling rivalry is ignited.

How far can love go before it turns destructive? When families begin to fracture, does blood truly remain thicker than water, or is it the same blood that fuels the fire?

Adding intensity to the story is a powerhouse cast composed of Ricardo Cepeda and Pinky Amador, together with promising Sparkle artists Thea Tolentino, Patricia Coma, Larkin Castor.

Directed by Ralfh Manuel Malabunga, Apoy sa Dugo is a gripping tale of love pushed to extremes, where obsession ignites betrayal and war follows.

Catch Apoy sa Dugo from Mondays to Fridays at 4:05 p.m. on GMA Afternoon Prime. Global Pinoys can also watch the program via GMA Pinoy TV.
