PRESS STATEMENT FROM GMA-7:

"Viewers can expect a lot of heightened drama and revelations as the half-scorpion protagonist played by Louise delos Reyes, faces the toughest and most painful decision in her life in GMA Network's high-rating afternoon series Alakdana.

"After saving her mother, Teresa (Jean Garcia), Adana (Louise) visits Billy (Paulo Avelino) in the hospital only to find him with Rachel (Gwen Zamora). A tearful Adana runs away but Billy immediately comforts her. They eventually kiss and make up and profess their love for each other.

"But Adana's happiness is cut short every time her scorpion tail starts to appear whenever Billy is around. She thinks of ways on how to break the curse that has been a heavy burden in her life. And the only way to get rid of her cursed tail is to cut it.

"In her strong desire to live a normal life with Billy, will Adana continue with her plan to remove her scorpion tail? If her plan turns successful, will her tail disappear permanently or will it grow back to its menacing form?

"Directed by Mac Alejandre, Alakdana also stars Matthew Mendoza, Jobelle Salvador, Alden Richards, Ritchie Paul Gutierrez, Ian de Leon, Karla Estrada, Eunice Lagunsad, Joanna Marie Tan and Perla Bautista.  

"Alakdana airs weekdays after Eat Bulaga on GMA's Dramarama sa Hapon block."
