PBB Collab 2.0: After his PBB stint, Anton Vinzon leads the GMA Afternoon Prime series Kamao

Following his remarkable role in a 2025 GMA Prime hit series, Mga Batang Riles, and as a housemate of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0, Anton Vinzon, dubbed as the Astig Anak-tion Star ng Baguio, will make his mark as the first solo lead project in a GMA Afternoon Prime Series premiering on May 25, 2026, under the title of Kamao.

The first-ever sports drama series from GMA tells the story of every Filipino who remains strong, resilient, and determined to show up for their family, despite life’s challenges.

The story begins when Makisig “Makmak” Batumbakal (Anton) is an amateur boxer who aspires to become a boxing champion. However, his toughest battles happen elsewhere as he gets caught up in the lies and controversies surrounding his former boxing champ father and endures the unbending rules of his grandfather. In pursuing his championship belt, Makmak learns that his true victory is measured not only by awards and accolades but also by triumphing over the battles in life.

Apart from Anton, the series will also join together with some of the seasoned stars in the industry, including Amy Austria, Roi Vinzon, Wendell Ramos, Neil Ryan Sese, and Katrina Halili, as well as promising young stars and trending social media personalities, like Bruce Roeland, Therese Malvar, Chanty Videla, Tito Abdul, Tito Marsy, Matt Lozano, and Euwenn Mikaell.

Directed by L.A. Madridejos, Richard Arellano, and associate director Kevin de Vela, the series highlights that true winning is discovering oneself more deeply and finding love, peace, and acceptance within the family. As this is his first-ever lead role in a GMA Afternoon Prime series, it will deliver a wide range of drama, comedy, romance, and intense action that fans of Anton have come to expect.

Kamao will premiere on May 25, 2026, via GMA, Kapuso Stream, and GMA Play, airing weekdays at 15:20 (after Born To Shine), replacing House of Lies in its timeslot.
