'Hawak Kamay' to redefine the Filipino family staring July 21

What happens when you leave three adopted children in the hands of A depressed drunkard who dreams of becoming a famous musician?


This is the story that ABS-CBN’s newest family drama, Hawak Kamay, will begin to tell as it hits TV screens on Monday (July 21) to reach out to modern day Filipino families.

The kick-off of the series also marks acclaimed actor Piolo Pascual’s much-anticipated return to television drama following the success of his movie Starting Over Again earlier in the year. Piolo will be taking on Hawak Kamay along with three of the country’s most powerful child stars, Zaijan Jaranilla, Andrea Brillantes, and Xyriel Manabat. The series will also introduce Grand i-Shiner Yesha Camile, who was under the mentorship of Piolo during her stint in the Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp.

Hawak Kamay will also star Piolo’s Starting Over Again co-star Iza Calzado, who will be joined by singer-actress Nikki Gil and Banana Split: Extra Scoop and Banana Nite mainstay Ryan Bang. The show will also feature Victor Neri, who makes a comeback through Hawak Kamay, with She’s Dating the Gangster cast member Sofia Andres, and former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Axel Torres.

This cast will be behind the story of Gin (Piolo Pascual), a failed musician who becomes the guardian of the three orphans that his dearly departed sister adopted: Emong (Zaijan Jaranilla), Dara (Xyriel Manabat), and Ningning (Yesha Camile). Tough attorney Bianca (Iza Calzado) and her sister Lorrie (Andrea Brillantes) witness how the reluctant and unprepared Gin ends up as a potential father figure to these three kids. As they encounter different trials, Gin gains sight of the more important things in life, and little by little, they all realize what exactly makes a family.

The cast of Hawak Kamay will be making things exciting at Fairview Terraces, the day before the show launches. Join Piolo, Iza, Zaijan, Xyriel, Andrea, and Yesha as they put on a mall show for fans on Sunday (July 20) at 4:00pm.
