After appearing in the first episode of Barangay Love Stories a week earlier, Kapuso stars Shuvee Etrata and Anthony Constantino topbill another GMA digital series, From Vlog To Love, which dropped on GMA Network’s official YouTube channel yesterday, September 18, 2026.
The six-episode romantic-comedy mini-series centers on a witty probinsyana who catches the eye of a Filipino-American (Fil-Am) heir, unaware that his efforts to win her heart are part of his online comeback plan.
The series also has a mix of humor, kilig, and emotional moments that is tailored for “AnVee”, the love team partner of Shuvee (Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition Kapuso ex-housemate and actress) and Anthony (Sparkle actor) to explore modern love in the age of online media through social networking, viral content, and complicated relationships.
The series also reflects the real-life dynamics of an AFAM Meets Bisdak trope anchoring the story, unfolding a real connection between Angge and Bullet, the main characters of the mini-series.
Angge, played by Shuvee, is a feisty college intern known for her quick wit and fierce determination to build a better life for herself and her grandmother without relying on anyone. Meanwhile, Bullet, played by Anthony, is the charming but directionless Fil-Am boy who, after a viral scandal involving a spliced racist remark, is cut off by his rich father and exiled to the Philippines to manage the family resort.
Shuvee Etrata’s trademark Busaya roots and charm marked her first solo starring project after her appearance in the Kapuso primetime drama headlined by Dingdong Dantes, The Master Cutter, showcasing her romantic-comedy role that feels natural and heartfelt. For Anthony Constantino, he emerged as a promising new leading man with a strong presence on-screen that continues to excite viewers and fans of “AnVee”.
Aside from Shuvee and Anthony, the series also featured several artists who add a touch of kilig and intense revelations in the coming episodes, including Caitlyn Stave, Kiel Gueco, Christian Antolin, Marnie Lapus, Che Ramos-Cosio, and Ruby Ruiz.
To date, there are two episodes of the mini-series available for streaming via the GMA Network’s YouTube channel, which were published on September 18 and 19, 2026. The series will release the remaining episodes on September 25 and 26, 2026, for Episodes 3 and 4, and on October 2 and 3, 2026, for Episodes 5 and 6; all of which will be released on these dates at 19:00 (Philippine Standard Time, UTC +8).
As for Shuvee, she will also appear in the upcoming GMA Pictures-produced satirical comedy film directed by Dominic Zapata, Red Crown, featuring a bardagulan experience of the Queen of the Islands pageantry contest that determines which among the candidates from the stars appearing in the film, including Yana Aduana, Alethea Ambrosio, Ara Arida, Herlene Budol, Skye Chua, Faith da Silva, Michelle Marquez Dee, Haley Dizon, MJ Encabo, Gazini Ganados, Rein Hillary, Maika Kemmochi, MJ Lastimosa, Aira Lopez, Sanya Lopez, Ahtisa Manalo, AZ Martinez, Ashley Ortega, Vanessa Peña, Sandy Riccio, Jade Tecson, Tarah Valencia, Yna Angela Uy, and Yza Thalia Uy, alongside Shuvee, will win a record-breaking cash prize of PHP 25,000,000.00 (USD 397,924.43).
The teaser video for the upcoming film was also released a few days ago, which gives future moviegoers a glimpse into the lives, struggles, and rivalries of women competing in the world of pageantry.

ABS-CBN-TV5 comeback further expands its primetime viewing for The Loyalty Game; Primetime Bida further intensifies
Following the re-expansion of ABS-CBN shows on TV5 on June 22, 2026, through Coco Martin’s Sigabo and Face To Face with Ate Koring, the premiere of Someone Someday on the following month (July 27, 2026), and the airing of A Secret In Prague and My Bespren Emman on ABS-CBN’s platforms alongside Kapamilya Deal or No Deal and Everybody Sing on TV5, primetime viewing has further expanded once again following the announcement that one of the TV5-produced dramas, A Secret In Prague (Andrea Brillantes and Enrique Gil), will soon end for the final three weeks on its run.
The finale episode of A Secret In Prague is scheduled to air on TV5 and several ABS-CBN platforms on October 2, 2026, at 21:30 (after Someone Someday). Following this, the show will be replaced by The Loyalty Game, one of the Prime Video original series produced by ABS-CBN Studios and Star Creatives Television that held its lead in the Philippines for weeks.
Subtitled as “Level Up” for the on-air broadcast, The Loyalty Game is set to bring its gripping story to on-air and online platforms, including Kapamilya Channel, ALLTV2, A2Z, TV5, Kapamilya Online Live, iWant, and The Filipino Channel (TFC), beginning on October 5, 2026.
Similar to the past ABS-CBN Studios-produced dramas released on Prime Video and later on television (i.e., Linlang, Saving Grace, and The Alibi), The Loyalty Game: Level Up will offer more captivating scenes, shocking twists, and plot revelations not seen on the Prime Video counterpart, which was known for continuing its lead in the most-watched series on Prime Video Philippines and remains among the Top 10 shows.
The Loyalty Game was headlined by Jericho Rosales and Janine Gutierrez, both of whom played the married couple Ben and Ana, whose seemingly stable relationship begins to unravel when questions of loyalty and fidelity expose dangerous secrets. What starts as a test of trust turns into a complicated game of love, deception, and betrayal—with every revelation threatening to destroy their marriage.
Also starring in the series were Charlie Dizon, Sofia Andres, Yassi Pressman, Yen Santos, Elisse Joson, Karina Bautista, KD Estrada, Robbie Jaworski, Alyanna Angeles, Kira Balinger, Maika Rivera, and Carmina Villarroel, and veteran actors Carlitos Siguion-Reyna, Bernard Palanca, Desiree del Valle, and Pilar Pilapil. Mae Cruz-Alviar, together with Ian Loreños, Raymund Ocampo, and Cathy Garcia-Sampana, directs this latest primetime drama offering.
Aside from The Loyalty Game, ABS-CBN Studios produced other dramas released on Prime Video in 2026, such as The Silent Noise, Love Is Never Gone, and most recently, Honor Thy Mother, which is the first under a collaboration with GMA Network and has also led the most-watched series a few days after it premiered on Prime Video in the Philippines alone.
Star Creatives Television, the television series production arm of ABS-CBN Star Cinema, previously produced two of the 2025 primetime drama series, Incognito and It’s Okay Not To Be Okay, which aired on several ABS-CBN on-air and online platforms, including TV5.
Meanwhile, Kapamilya singer-songwriter and performer Gary Valenciano gives life to an exciting journey for Gabo (Coco Martin) ahead with his poignant rendition of the new theme song for Coco Martin’s Sigabo, Kailangan Mo Ako, marking Gary V’s first feature after Coco’s lead in FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano and FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.
The soundtrack depicts his, Gabo’s, newfound hope in life as he may have finally found someone who truly cares for him deeply in Sam (Julia Montes), after he had to endure many hard-fought battles all by himself.
Coco Martin’s Sigabo continued to achieve more than three hundred thousand concurrent online viewers in the past few days, all thanks to more action, drama, and kilig scenes that viewers may endure for Gabo and Sam, including fans of CocoJul every night.
If Sigabo is filled with more kilig scenes felt by its viewers, then Someone Someday begins to unravel its plot twists as the revelation came to light for Bea (Maja) and Billy (Kathryn) following a live stream for their surprise birthday event for Precious (Dimples Romana).
It also showed that while Bea is watching that live stream, Billy and their estranged father, Enrico (Rowell Santiago), follow in a flashback scene, revealing that he is also Bea’s father who suddenly abandoned them without any explanation.
Bea’s connection to Billy further explained her envy and hidden agenda of revenge against her and everything that she holds dear. Bea, however, was unaware that she also had deep-seated anger towards their absentee father. Billy also remained clueless and unaware that Bea was her half-sister.
Moreover, Jordan seems to have to contend with problems of his own as he slowly starts to realize that he may have romantic feelings for his best friend Billy.
Coco Martin’s Sigabo and Someone Someday air on weeknights at 20:00 and 20:45, respectively, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, ALLTV2, A2Z, TV5, iWant, Netflix (Someone Someday only), and The Filipino Channel (TFC).
