My Husband's Lover nominated in 42nd International Emmy Awards

My Husband's Lover is the only Philippine teleserye competing in the International Emmy Awards.

GMA-7's phenomenal gay-themed series is nominated in the Telenovela category of the 42nd edition of the International Emmy Awards.

Starring Dennis Trillo, Tom Rodriguez and Carla Abellana, My Husband's Lover revolves around two gay men who are in love even though one of them is already married and has kids with his wife.

In the 37th edition of the International Emmys, Dennis Trillo's show with Katrina Halili, Magdusa Ka, was also nominated in the Telenovela category. Another Pinoy TV show, Kahit Isang Saglit, was also nominated as Best Telenovela in 2009. On that year, Angel Locsin was nominated as Best Actress for her performance in Lobo.
