Watch the newest TV Series. The GMA 7 brings new life to the well-renowned Pablo S. Gomez "komiks" series about a wooden sculpture that comes alive at night with its primetime fantasy drama, Machete. It is currently showing tonight at GMA Telebabad.
Machete was played by GMA homegrown talent Aljur Abrenica who evolves from StarStruck's Ultimate Hunk to a full-fledged prime time hunk. The Machete is his biggest role to date. It is with great pride that the homegrown kapuso actor dons the celebrated bahag, first worn by Gardo Versoza and Cesar Montano in the early 90's and which escalated their star status.
This modern version of Machete is brought to life by the artworks of two gorgeous ladies-Rosella, she's a sketcher, played by Bella Padilla and Marla, who is a sculptress, portrayed by Ryza Cenon.
The stars, completing the casts are Ryan Eigenmann act as Karum, a ruthless warrior from Machete's past life; Gina Alajar act as Elena and Nonie Buencamino, act as Carlos, Rosella's parents; Rio Locsin act as Divina and John Arcilla, act as Alfonso, Marla's parents; and in a special cameo appearance of Zoren Legaspi as Mayari, Machete's father.
Playing equally important characters in the life of Machete are Polo Revales, act as Zander, Marla's ex-boyfriend and henchman; Chariz Solomon, act as candy, Marla's house help and Rosella's bestfriend; Rocky Gutierrez, act as Lucco, Marla's bodyguard who is also secretly in-loved with her. Gwen Zamora as Serena, a young curator and anthropologist; Karen delos Reyes act as Bugan, a princess and Machete's admirer in the past and Stephanie Henares, act as Valerie, Marla's socialite-friend.
For the meanwhile, the statue of Machete in the program was chiseled by the National Artist Napoleon Abueva's team of expert sculptures led by his Lawin.
