Happy Land comes to GMA Pinoy TV!
Date : Jun 2, 2009
Happy Land is a children's program that inspires young viewers to
discover happiness despite the bad things in life. In a
poverty-stricken tenement, Anna and Buboy - children of OFW parents -
discover a portal to Happy Land , a fantasy world where knowledge
thrives and problems are systematically solved.
The show follows the lives and exploits of Anna and Buboy as they meet the different residents of the tenement - including a Muslim and Visayan families - and discover a fantasy world through a magical junk shop inside the compound.
Through Anna and Buboy's story, the show intends to present reality to child viewers - discussing social issues with no pretense or sugarcoating. Happy Land also seeks to address the issue of OFW-ism by helping its main characters cope with OFW parents, and hopes to impart Filipino values and character education to both children and adult viewers.
Combining animation, digital technology, and live-action photography, Happy Land hopes to bring children to a new level of TV viewing. Aside from the narrative, the show will also teach basic pre-school subjects like Language and the Alphabet, Math, Science, and General Knowledge through independent segments.
Two adorable kids lead Happy Land's cast of characters. Nine year- old Patricia Gayod plays Anna, Buboy's loving sister who acts as a mother to Buboy while their Nanay works as a domestic helper in Hongkong.
Meanwhile, six-year-old Jermaine Ulgasan plays Buboy, a quick-witted kid who's very dependent on his older sister. True to real life, Jermaine is a son of an OFW parent. His father works as an engineer in Saudi.
Public Affairs host Love Anover plays Ate Belle, the tenement's friendly repairwoman who can mend everything from broken irons and refrigerators to broken hearts and dreams. Veteran theater and TV actress Joy Viado joins the cast as Tita Auring, Anna and Buboy's strict but loving aunt.
Completing the main cast is an animated creature: Mingming, the tenement's resident black cat who will lead the children on their journey through Happy Land .
Kid viewers will also get the chance to meet "Bulatelino," an intelligent, talking earthworm who will teach kids anything and everything about Science.
Youngsters also get to learn more about geography as Popoy and Cocoy, Happy Land's mice duo, bring them to all sorts of places through their segment "Mga Dagang Gala."
Happy Land is directed by acclaimed film and television director, Bb. Joyce Bernal.
Discover happiness, learn new things, and have fun all at the same time as the newest addition to GMA News and Public Affairs' roster of award-winning programs airs this June!
HAPPY LAND will launch on GMA Pinoy TV this June 7 (US)/ June 10 (ASPAC).

Pumasok ng maaga si Tita Auring, kaya si Ate Anna ang mag-aalaga kay Buboy buong araw! Masayang hinanda ni Ate Anna ang masarap nilang almusal, at hinatid pa niya si Buboy sa eskuwelahan.
