CEBU, Philippines - GMA Network’s groundbreaking program “My Husband’s Lover” (MHL) is the only drama series from the Philippines nominated in the telenovela category of the 42nd International Emmy Awards. “MHL” will be competing alongside entries from Portugal, Brazil and Canada.
Topbilled by Dennis Trillo, Tom Rodriguez and Carla Abellana, “MHL” defied all conventions on traditional drama soaps and definitely captured Filipino audiences locally and abroad.
The series drew viewers to understand that love is not defined by sexual preference – no matter how different it is from the love we all know – it could still be equally pure, selfless and true.
This recognition solidifies GMA-7’s commitment in creating programs, which are innovative and at par with international standards.
From the original concept of Suzette Doctolero with the help of creative director Jun Lana, “MHL” was under the direction of Dominic Zapata. (PR) (FREEMAN)
