With the show offering a different perspective of women shaping the worlds they are in.
On Tuesday, November 10, ABS-CBN streaming service iWant officially launched its new reality-lifestyle series entitled Manila Matriarchs, which is produced by Girl Bye Productions Inc. and Lucca Creatives.
The show features the group of of four powerful women — Joanna Preysler-Francisco, Myrza Sison, Karylle Tatlonghari, and Trisha Bantigue-Tsao — with viewers able to witness how they navigate friendship, family, ambition and personal reinvention within Manila’s elite circles.
Manila Matriarchs promises to bring a fresh perspective on Filipina ambition, influence and modern womanhood as it follows their lives set against the backdrop of the country’s most exclusive social circles.
“Besides their exuberant lifestyle, the show also delves into their personal lives with their respective families, friends, and struggles. While they belong to Manila’s elites, their experiences can resonate with audiences, reflecting life’s wins and obstacles similar to every Filipino,” ABS-CBN also said in its press statement.
Series creator Cece Asuncion noted: “The Filipina woman has never been one-dimensional, so why should the stories we tell about her be? I wanted to show women who are accomplished, complicated, glamorous, funny, ambitious and unapologetically themselves. Their lives may be extraordinary, but their humanity is what connects them to the rest of the world.”
The first episode is streaming for free worldwide, with other episodes set to be released on iWant on November 24 (Tuesday).
