TV5 lounches afternoon soap, Felina

TV5 is undeniably gearing it up this 2012 as it launched more than a dozen programs in the first quarter of the year.

The major upgrade is in line with the networks goal of providing quality programs that appeal to many Filipinos.

The Kapatid Network beefs up its afternoon block by launching two soap operas, a first for the network. One of which is the enchanting fantasy series, Felina.

Felina is a story of a beautiful girl with a curse. Cursed before birth, Felina is born with cat features.

Because of this, her scheming aunt switches her with another baby. She grows up unaccepted, feared, unloved and most of all, deceived as to who her real parents are. But on her 18th birthday, she is surprised to discover that she has transformed into a beautiful woman.

Felina eventually learns to accept that her curse is also a gift as she helps other people, even giving up one of her nine lives.

Playing the title role of Felina is TV5 princess Arci Munoz. Completing the cast are Aaron Villena, Leandro Munoz, Carla Humphries, Jestoni Alarcon, Bing Loyzaga, Angel Jacob, Pilita Corrales, Epi Quizon and Bearwin Meily. Felina is directed by Argel Joseph. (PGNL/TV5 International)
