A member of Vietnam’s Joint Media Corporation (IMC), Today TV is one of the first Vietnamese TV stations to air Filipino drama series like Marimar, Stairway to Heaven, Beauty Queen, The Good Daughter and Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Langit (Losing Heaven). These dramas quickly became a hit among Vietnamese viewers paving the way for the airing of more Filipino dramas on Vietnam TV.

Aside from gracing Today TV’s anniversary celebration, they will also give their Vietnamese fans the chance to see them up close in the grand fans day arranged for them by the former.
Commenting on the warm reception for Kapuso dramas by Vietnamese viewers, Ms. Roxanne Barcelona – Vice President for GMA Worldwide, Inc. (GWI) the program syndication and acquisition arm of GMA Network said that “interest for Kapuso dramas has never been as strong as it has been this year.”
