A well-crafted story. A formidable cast. Highly acclaimed directors. Highly creative staff and crew. World-class artistry. This July, The Filipino Channel (TFC) premieres one of ABS-CBN’s most ambitious drama series that will take television viewing a notch higher — ‘Noah’.

A story arced on love and family, ‘Noah’ is top-billed by the country’s Ultimate Heartthrob Piolo Pascual and ABS-CBN’s miracle boy, Zaijian Jaranilla. According to one of the directors of the series, Lino Cayetano , both are very much suited for their character. “It was perfectly woven for Piolo and Zaijian. Mararamdaman mo yung chemistry nila as father and son. And dahil may chemistry na, napapadali ang trabaho ko bilang direktor dahil hindi na kailangan ipilit,” Direk Lino shared. After the hit primetime series ‘May Bukas Pa’, Zaijian is set to play a lost boy who grew up with the Ungtas, a group of ape-like beings.

Paired with Piolo is one of the most beautiful faces in Philippine showbusiness, Kristine Hermosa. Piolo and Kristine’s last project together was ‘Komiks presents Mars Ravelo’s Nasaan Ka Maruja?’ where Piolo had a special appearance. Their reunion in Maruja filled in their 10-year hiatus away from each other after ‘Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako’. “When I learned that I’ll be working with PJ (Piolo) dito sa ‘Noah’, natuwa ako siyempre. Noong sa ‘Maruja’ kasi special appearance lang talaga siya so hindi kami nagkasama nang matagal,” Kristine expressed.

Other cast members in the series are Cherry Pie Picache, Nonie Buencamino, Jolo Revilla, Ana Capri, Joem Bascon, Melissa Ricks, Renzo Cruz Baron Giesler and Jodi Sta. Maria.

The story of ‘Noah’ zeroes in on Gabriel’s (Piolo) search of his missing son, Jacob (Zaijian). His travails lead him to a mysterious island called Noah where he eventually sees his lost son whose name is now Eli. Along the way, Gabriel also encounters the Ungtas and Eva (Kristine).

‘Noah’ boasts of its unique set — a warehouse customized to look as a forest and home of the Ungtas. The wide-angled scenes, however, were shot in the very cinematic spots in Subic.

Get ready for a whole new viewing experience as you journey to the island of ‘Noah’ on TFC, directed by Malu Sevilla and Lino Cayetano.
