TFC’s exciting new shows in 2011 can now be seen on TFC Video On Demand

Jan. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- As shows of all genres like Mara Clara, Imortal and TV Patrol continue to lord it in the nationwide and Metro Manila TV ratings in the Philippines since last year, ABS-CBN shows on The Filipino Channel (TFC) in the U.S. promise to be even bigger and brighter in 2011.

Consider the following that are set to premiere in the first quarter of the year: a newly buff Gerald Anderson tries to cement his title as “Action Drama Prince of the Philippines” as he plays the lead role in popular komiks writer-llustrator Rod Santiago’s Buhawi Jack. Gerald had to get in the best physical shape of his life and learn the Filipino martial art of arnis for the realistic fight scenes in the new series.  Paired with him is the newest star of the TFC stable of talents, Jewel Mische, who also trained for arnis.

Then Gerald’s equally famous and former on-and-off screen partner, Kim Chiu, the country’s formidable “Primetime Drama Princess”, finds a new leading man in Agua Bendita standout, Matteo Guidicelli, in the upcoming drama romance set in the streets of Manila’s Chinatown: Binondo Girl.

After their successful team-up in the historical film, Baler, Anne Curtis and Jericho Rosales reunite on the small screen for the Philippine adaptation of the hit koreanovela, Green Rose. Joining them are Jake Cuenca and Alessandra De Rossi.

A promising new teleserye is set to unfold and brings with it an all-star cast: Minsan Lang Kitang Iibigin (I Will Only Love You Once) is topbilled by Lorna Tolentino, Coco Martin, Andi Eigenmann and Maja Salvador. Providing more star power is the supporting cast led by Tonton Gutierrez, John Estrada, Boots Anson-Roa, Ronaldo Valdez and Amy Austria.
