Kapamilya star Joshua Garcia shares unique experience in GMA

KAPAMILYA actor Joshua Garcia said that it was a different experience on his part when he recently stepped foot on GMA studio to promote the grand soap opera Unbreak My Heart which is the Kapuso’s maiden collaboration with ABS-CBN. The program also stars Jodi Sta. Maria, Richard Yap, and Gabbi Garcia

During a recent interview, Joshua expressed his enthusiasm about his involvement in promoting the project at the GMA studio. He shared that he and Jodi had the opportunity to tape for various Kapuso shows as part of the promotion, and he couldn’t help but gush about the wonderful experience they had.

Contrary to any initial concerns about feeling out of place, Joshua emphasized that they were warmly welcomed by the people at GMA. He spoke highly of the kindness and hospitality displayed by the GMA team, which made them feel comfortable and at ease throughout their time at the studio.
“Of course, considering that we come from the other side, it can’t be avoided. We were just standing in one corner. But that was initial. We are happy that we got to experience All-Out Sundays and I think, we’ll still have a series of guest appearances in other hit Kapuso shows like Family Feud and Eat Bulaga. It’s simply exciting,” Joshua shares.
The young actor is also thankful to Gabbi for personally entertaining him and Jodi during their visit to GMA.
“She toured me inside the studio and it was great. I’m really grateful to ABS and Star Magic for allowing
Jodi and me to promote in GMA programs. As I’ve said earlier, it was an unforgettable experience.”
Apart from Unbreak my Heart the young actor also top-bills the horror potboiler Mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan under Regal Entertainment which can be seen on Amazon Prime.
“I enjoyed doing the film. For one, it’s something new to me since I don’t have a love team here. I’m glad that I was able to try doing it,” Joshua ends.
