The unforgettable love story of Yna and Angelo is fascinating millions of people abroad as the ABS-CBN soap opera continues to be sold to other countries. In fact, Pangako Sa'Yo or The Promise is being watched by around 1.3 Billion Chinese at present! The show is now 10 years old but is still being aired in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Cambodia!
According to Reena de Guzman Garingan as posted on pep.ph, "We have proven that the Pinoy brand of work is really one of a kind, and something you all should be proud of as Filipinos. Gusto niyo bang mapanood ang French Version ng Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay? In English, it's called The Long Way; and in French, it's called La Longue Attente. So, maganda bang pakinggan? We have carefully done it in many languages..."
She shared that 30 ABS-CBN shows are being sold to "15 countries in Asia, 5 countries in Europe, 12 in French-speaking African countries, 20 English-speaking African countries, and 5 Portuguese-African countries."
The most recently sold ones are Tayong Dalawa or The Two of Us (which was sold in Malaysia, Brunei, and Kenya), Lobo or She-Wolf: The Last Sentinel, and Dahil May Isang Ikaw or Destined Heart.
These facts make us PROUD to be Filipinos! It's like we're showing the world that our craft can also capture the hearts of audiences in other countries!
And oh yeah, it proves that ABS-CBN shows are really of HIGH quality. Let's see what GMA fans will say about this.
