TUNGKOL sa araw-araw na pinagdaraan ng Gen Z teens ang tema ng bagong GMA series na ‘Sparkle U.’

Tampok ang mga fresh faces ng Sparkle GMA Artist Center, tatalakayin sa unang episode ng ‘Sparkle U’ na #Frenemies ay ang cyber bullying at ang epekto nito sa nagiging biktima.

Ilan sa cast ay naging biktima ng cyber-bullying tulad ni Roxie Smith na binash noong ipadala siya sa isang international beauty pageant.

“Hindi raw kasi ako mukhang Pinay. Bakit daw ako ang pinadala to represent the Philippines. Na-hurt po ako kasi parang di ko raw deserve ang title,” sey ni Roxie.

Si Anjay Anson naman ay pinagtripan ng cyber bullies ang pagiging half-Indian niya.

“Marami silang sinasabi about my Indian heritage na di maganda. Di ko na lang pinansinz.”

Si Abdul Rahman na may lahing Muslim ay inatake sa social media dahil sa religion niya.

“There are so many opinions about my religion. Maraming di alam ang mga sinasabi nila. Kahit masakit, the best way to deal with it is just be kind to them.”

Kasama rin sa #Frenemies sina Shayne Sava, Zephanie, Lauren King, Vanessa Peña, Michael Sager at Princess Aliyah.

Ang second episode ng ‘Sparkle U’ ay #Ghosted na tampok ang Team Jolly nila Sofia Pablo at Allen Ansay. Tungkol naman ito sa pag-cope with mental health.

Saw her in person bago siya naging Marimar.”

Instilling in their young minds knowledge, family and dealing with other people are important and best of all have faith and trust in GOD.”
