Wish Ko Lang! is back

Wish Ko Lang! returns on air for a special season starting July 11 on GMA. Hosted by Vicky Morales (photo), the show intends to bring hope and inspiration to Filipinos by opening its doors to deserving individuals in this time of great need.

“I am grateful that I get to be the ‘fairy godmother’ again, even for the time being, and help our Kapuso in these trying times,” says Vicky.

“Walang imposible kahit sa panahon ng pandemya hangga’t tayo ay hindi nawawalan ng pag-asa.”

Wish Ko Lang! will air fresh episodes starting tomorrow, July 11. For July, Sigrid Andrea Bernardo directs the dramatization segments of the episodes. Bernardo is known for the films Kita Kita and UnTrue. Some of the Kapuso stars who will grace the program include Prima Donnas mainstays Elijah Alejo and Chanel Latorre. For its first two episodes, Wish Ko Lang! features the stories of child breadwinner Manny and the construction worker mom Joan.

Manny loves playing basketball. His dream is to make it to his school’s varsity team. But he must set aside his dreams for a while. Because of the pandemic, Manny became his family’s breadwinner. In the morning, he sells various household items while in the afternoon, he offers balut along North Caloocan.

Meanwhile, Joan used to sell fruits in Laguna, while her husband Sherwin used to be a construction worker in Rizal. When the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) was implemented, both lost their jobs. Sherwin became a localized stranded individual (LSI) who can’t go home to his family. Joan was left no choice but to take on work to provide for their family.

The program will also ask viewers to send in their most urgent wishes so these may be featured in future episodes.
