ABS-CBN's Bridges of Love To Span Across Latin American Screens

Jericho Rosales starrer to air in Peru in 2016

ABS-CBN's top-rating drama "Bridges of Love" is currently being dubbed in Spanish, for soon the emotionally-packed tale of estranged brothers competing for the love of the same woman is set to grip Peruvian television with the Spanish title “Puentes de Amor”. In a landmark exclusive distribution deal with 7A Media, world-class dramas and blockbuster movies made by the Philippines' biggest media conglomerate and content producer will proudly make their way to the Latin American market.

"We consider this a defining moment for us. Filipinos have been avid fans of telenovelas and their stars for decades, and it is indeed overwhelming to think that the time has come when Latin Americans now get to see and appreciate our brand of drama and talent," says Evelyn Raymundo, Head of ABS-CBN Integrated Acquisition and International Sales and Distribution. Cesar Diaz, Head of 7A Media and a seasoned veteran executive in Latin America, is likewise excited to introduce more of ABS-CBN’s content to the region and is in fact already looking at the next title he can launch.

"Bridges of Love" is topbilled by Jericho Rosales, dubbed as "Asia's Prince of Drama" since he is a popular and widely-followed actor not only in his home country but also in Southeast Asia. He plays Gael, a self-made architect who faces his greatest rival for love and success in Carlos, who unknown to him is his younger brother. Owing to Rosales' charm complemented by superb acting chops, his fan base extends all the way to Africa where ABS-CBN dramas are also widely viewed. Recently, he bagged the Best Actor award in the Metro Manila Film Festival, the country's biggest all-Filipino movie festival held last December 2015.

"Bridges of Love" charted a highest rating of 28.3% and audience share of 57% during its primetime run in the Philippines. It has also been sold to Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and Seychelles. The drama is set to premiere on Peruvian free TV within the first quarter of 2016 via the television network Latina, one of the country’s top broadcasters.

ABS-CBN International Distribution has been recognized in the global arena as a reliable foreign content provider. It has been a premier source of high quality Filipino programming in over 50 territories all over the world and has sold over 30,000 hours of content worldwide. Living up to this recognition, ABS-CBN International Distribution commits to add to its line-up of high-caliber programs and movies with cast and storylines that appeal to various cultures.
