GMA network, Regal Entertainment continue partnership to tell ‘feel-good’ stories

Narrating inspiring and feel-good stories about love and relationships continues on in Regal Studio Presents, which has just turned two and entered its latest season.

The weekly anthology series is a creative collaboration between GMA 7 and Regal Entertainment, both institutions in the local entertainment scene.

“Para kaming magkakapatid lang at masaya kaming nag-ta-trabaho (We’re all like siblings, who are happy working together),” said Roselle Monteverde, COO and VP of Regal Entertainment Inc. and Regal Multimedia Inc. in a recent press conference, which was also graced by Jose Mari Abacan, GMA’s first VP for program management department; and lawyer Annette Gozon-Valdes, GMA Network SVP for programming, talent management, worldwide, and support group, and president and CEO of GMA Films, with directors Joey Reyes and Easy Ferrer from the Regal Entertainment group.

“We love what we’re doing, we’re always happy in creating new stories na masaya na para pang-pamilya para may mapanood naman sila sa Sunday (that are feel-good stories for families to enjoy on a Sunday), which is really a family day,” added Monteverde.

Abacan shared that the partnership is “really getting stronger,” which has given artists from GMA Sparkle and Regal Entertainment the platform to showcase their acting talent. He was also looking forward to seeing these faces in more acting projects and better roles.

The Kapuso executive recalled that the idea of coming up with Regal Studio Presents began during the pandemic times, two years ago to be exact.

“We were conceptualizing what we could possibly do with artists who didn’t have work then as well as those people (from the production) who were not working during that time,” said he, who hopes to see that the show will run for a long time.

For her part, Monteverde appreciated the trust GMA has given Regal in producing the program, in which they do not only share acting talents but also writers and directors.

“Hopefully, we’ll do more shows together with them, and we’re very happy as well as our family,” said she. “Matagal na rin kaming partners noon sa pelikula at sa mga programa (We’ve been longtime partners in films and TV programs) since
