Seven brave soldiers will forge a loyal brotherhood despite their differences as they face the hardships and triumphs of their vocation as one in ABS-CBN’s newest drama series titled, “A Soldier’s Heart,” which will start airing on January 20 (Monday).
The series features a band of brothers made up of Alex (Gerald Anderson), Elmer (Vin Abrenica), Benjie (Yves Flores), Abe (Carlo Aquino), Michael (Nash Aguas), Phil (Jerome Ponce), and Jethro (Elmo Magalona), who all have different reasons for joining the army, but are bound by one goal: to protect the country.
They are also joined by Lourd (Sue Ramirez), the sole woman in the group who is out to prove that serving the country is genderless. Together they will experience all the pain, victory, and glory of being a soldier. However, as they go on to fulfill their vowed duties, they will discover secrets that will test their integrity and force them to ask the question: should they still serve their country knowing their mission is no longer aligned with the values they believe in?
As they go on their mission, what will they willingly sacrifice — family, brotherhood, integrity, or themselves?
A tribute to our modern day heroes, “A Soldier’s Heart” is a timely and relevant series as it sheds light on the hardships of Filipino soldiers, who are a symbol of bravery for dedicating their lives for the country. The series also marks the grand union of notable actors of different generations, namely Gerald, Vin, Yves, Elmo, Nash, Jerome, and Carlo, who are set to prove their acting chops on primetime.
Joining the ensemble cast of “A Soldier’s Heart” are seasoned actors Ariel Rivera, Irma Adlawan, Raymond Bagatsing, Sid Lucero, Rommel Padilla, Mickey Ferriols, Nikki Valdez, and Ketchup Eusebio. It is under the direction of Richard Romes and is written by Jerry B. Gracio.
