Next in line is the exclusive coverage and other behind-the-scenes footages of the most awaited fight of Pinoy Boxing Champ Manny Paquiao over his rival opponent Shane Mosley . I'm sure the people will watch this because Manny Paquiao's fighting style is brilliant.

And for those certified "Kapusos " out there I'm sure you will never miss these new family drama entitled "Munting Heredera" with Ms. Gloria Romero leads an all-star cast along side with Roderick Paulate , Mark Anthony Fernandez , Camille Pratts, Katrina Halili, and the 3 "freshest" kiddie discoveries , Mona Louise Rey, Kyle Daniel Ocampo and Barbara Miguel.

Another movie in the 80' will be brought back to life on our t.v. screens , Blusang Itim premiers in the afternoon block "GMA Dramarama sa Hapon".Upcoming stars who likewise came from family of actors like the beautiful Kylie Padilla, Frank Magalona and Winwyn Marquez.The story was depicted in the modern setting by a of a fashion show and was about a young woman's struggle in coping up with her physical
appearance.

And just like Blusang Itim , another Movie Classic " Andres de Saya" comes and it will be starred by Cesar Montano with Iza Calzado . I'm sure this will bring the family members in the family room bringing quality bonding experience while laughing to Andres' role as he always summoned by his wife , Matilde. This will start on May 28, 2011

Mark your calendars as "Sisid" which will air on May 30, 2011 with lead star Jackie Rice , together with Dominic Roco and JC Tiuseco will takes us to the under waters with its story revolving about " pearl-diving".

 And for the kiddos, GMA Kapuso will surprised them with a new kid-friendly show "My Chubby World"
 which will begin May 14, 2011 and it will be hosted by Renz Valerio, Zyrael Jestre, Daniela Jessica Amable and Giane Cutler. The kiddie show will get or kids watching the show giving them infos about Top 7 things our kids are interested to.

And I know we are all waiting for this biggest project to date of GMA TV which is "AMAYA" . AMAYA stars Primetime Queen Marian Rivera ,whose role here is a woman blessed with supernatural powers which later she will use to save her people from the male domination. GMA Kapuso is the first to launch an epic-serye with a well-researched story line. And according to them , for this production , they even hired two historians to back-up this serye..And to date this the biggest production when it comes to production costs and cast. Marian Rivera will be backed by other Kapuso Stars like Glaiza de Bastro, Sid Lucero,Mikael  Daez and Rochelle Pangilinan among others. So please do watch out for AMAYA on its premier on May 30, 2011. But I do wonder who will be his leading man? hmmm...

And for those who can't get enough of GMA NEWS and PUBLIC AFFAIRS, they will be presenting another environmental documentary "GROUND ZERO: Sa Gitna ng  Nagbabagong Mundo in this Sunday's SNBO (May 1, 2011) which is about nature's biggest events -EARTHQUAKES.
Another offering from GMA News and public Affairs is "SABADABOG", an eudactional show for kids which is set to premier on the latter part of May, to be hosted by Tonipet Gaba with 4 friendly mascots.

Lastly GMA NEWS TV will also air beatification ceremonies of our "most" Beloved Pope John Paul II  "BLESSED: JOHN PAUL II" from 3:00-6:30 pm on Sunday (May1, 2011) and will have a re-run on it's highlights at 10:00pm-11:00pm. Preceding the highlights at 8:45pm is the documentary about the late pontiff's life  entitled: "JOHN PAUL THE GREAT : A POPE WHO MADE HISTORY".

Among these upcoming offering of GMA Kapuso shows , I'm mostly interested in "Amaya", since these will be the first Epic-serye . And I'm kind of interested on how the story will progressed in it's future run and I'm kind of like the idea that GMA Kapuso opened its doors in making this "serye" into reality about an epic-serye with real traces of our own race and not just merely fictional-based characters.And for the first time This epic-serye eill focus on how women can empower a race as well.
