GMA Pinoy TV Launches “Power ng Pinoy” this September

July 18, 2011 - PRLog -- SANTA CLARA, California -- A new weekly television show that will introduce and salute successful Filipino individuals, groups and corporations will be launched on September 2011 and shown every Sunday nights thereafter through GMA Pinoy TV.

Dubbed Power ng Pinoy, the weekly 30-minute documentary program will feature Filipino movers and shakers that made and continue to make a difference in the lives of Filipinos in the U.S. and in the Philippines.

It will also feature entertaining side stories that would strengthen and further solidify the bond of the Filipino community in general.

Power ng Pinoy seeks to empower and provide inspiration to fellow Filipinos in their continuous perseverance and sacrifice to realize their American dream while educating viewers on some of our history’s significant achievers and greatest treasures.

A unique and valuable highlight of the show is its primary emphasis on how featured guests give back to the community as it strongly believes that true success is not only about achieving one’s goals and dreams but also about sharing what one achieves with the society in general and the Filipino community in particular.

For its pilot episode, Power ng Pinoy is slated to present the humble beginnings of Dado Banatao, who was born to a rice farmer and housekeeper in small barrio in Cagayan Valley, where he used to walk barefoot to school in dirt roads and, because of hard work and dedication, is now a veteran entrepreneur and venture capitalist in the Silicon Valley, California.

Others in the line-up of featured stories include ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” perennial champion Cheryl Burke, the FAA-certified armless Filipina pilot Jessica Cox, Gawad Kalinga board member Joe Millares, the first Filipino UC Berkeley Professor Ben de Lumen, Milpitas, California City Mayor Jose Estevez and “Project Runway” finalist Jay Sario, among others.

"We are very excited to partner with GMA Pinoy TV to co-produce this new TV program that we hope will truly inspire our kababayans", commented by Arnold Pedrigal, Executive Producer of Power ng Pinoy and President of Prowave Media, LLC.

Power ng Pinoy is co-produced by GMA Pinoy TV and Prowave Media, a wholly Filipino-owned media company based in Silicon Valley. For more information about the show, please visit the show's website at www.powerngpinoy.tv or Facebook page at http://facebook.com/PowerNgPinoy.
