INDIO: The Newest Epic-serye from GMA KAPUSO this year 2013

If you are a big fan of Amaya and Encantadia, be amazed with GMA’s newest salvo for the year 2013, INDIO.

INDIO is the much-awaited epic-serye that incorporates the historical roots of the “earliest” Filipinos to its unexplainable co-existence with the “Diwatas” up to the arrival of the Portuguese to conquer our land.

GMA Network’s newest epic-serye, INDIO is proud to introduced to us it’s powerhouse cast.

The title “Indio” is played here by Vincent Magbanua (as the young Indio),Alden Richards (as the “teener” Indio) and Ramon “Bong” Revillas  Jr. (as Malaya, Simeon and Indio). Indio is the son of a goddess and a mortal, who is equip with strength triple than his normal strength.Her mother, Ynaguiguinid (played by Sarah Lahbati) the Goddess of War.

INDIO marks as Sen.Ramon “Bong” Revilla’s first primetime drama project via the network’s most expensive television drama to date.

According to Senator Bong Revilla,” Ang Indio ay isang pagbubunyi sa pagiging marangal ng bawat Pilipino, isang pagkilala sa mga maga.gandang katangian natin bilang isang lahi mula pa noon hanggang ngayon”.

What I love about this upcoming epic-serye is that it has historical value for kids who will be watching INDIO. It is historical in the sense that it is shot in the pre-colonial setting. The story revolves generations from the “diwatas” relationship with pre-historic people.

Got to watch it's premier screening at Megamall
