The Philippines’ top free-TV broadcaster, GMA Network, has sold almost 250 hours of programming to Russia, including 2022’s most-watched series, "Lolong" ("Crocodile Whisperer"), the company said in the lead up to this year’s Mip TV market, which opened in Cannes this morning. 

The seven drama series involved in the latest deals by distribution arm GMA Worldwide will air, dubbed in Russian, this year. The name of the Russian broadcaster has not been disclosed.

The other six titles are "Love You Stranger", "Return to Paradise", legal drama "Artikulo 247" ("Article 247"), 2021’s top series "First Yaya" ("The First Nanny"), prime-time romcom "Love You Two", and mother-daughter drama "Kapag Nahati Ang Puso" ("Broken Hearts").
