During an intimate gathering at the 17^th floor of GMA Network in Quezon City earlier today, October 22, executives of the Kapuso network revealed details about upcoming shows for the last quarter of 2010 and the first two quarters of 2011.

GMA SVP for Entertainment Wilma Galvante said that by the end of the year, they will offer viewers the chance to witness the highly anticipated Ogie Alcasid-Regine Velasquez wedding.

She revealed that the "wedding of the year" will take place on December 22 at the Punta Fuego beach resort in Batangas. On December 26, the Kapuso Network will air the exclusive coverage of the "wedding-within-a-concert."

According to Ms. Wilma, the wedding coverage is GMA-7's gift to the couple who have been loyal Kapuso stars for many years.

Members of the press were curious to know about GMA-7's strategy to counter TV5's launch of Willie Revillame's new show Willing Willie. It is scheduled to air its pilot episode this Saturday, October 23.

Despite the arrival of this new show, GMA-7 executives said that they will continue with their regular programming because they believe that their programs are strong enough to withstand the competition posed by the Kapatid Network.

GMA-7's VP for Drama Lilybeth Rasonable narrated to the editors and writers present during the presscon some details about their upcoming shows.
