Sunday, October 23, 2016
We all know how Filipinos love watching teen-oriented shows. I for one can vouch that I watched a lot of teen-oriented Filipino TV Shows back then and one of my ultimate favorite is T.G.I.S. Saturdays will never be complete without watching it. Now, we can look forward to another inspiring and kilig-filled show via GMA Network.
The latest and hottest all-male group BAES are set to invade local television screens with newest female teen sensation Taki in the all-new and fresh morning series for millennials, "TROPS."
During the Grand Presscon of "Trops", the cast were all present to answer the questions regarding the show which includes the Baes, Taki, the daughter of Ruby Rodriguez Toni Aquino, and Kate Lapuz. Also present were Irma Adlawan, Benjie Paras, and Ina Raymundo.

show.

20-year-old Miggy's talent in dancing has become his passport a career in show business.
"TROPS" serves as his biggest acting break as he portrays the role of Kenneth's rival over Taki's heart.
