GMA Network continues to expand the reach of Filipino stories beyond borders through technological innovation and strategic partnerships, bringing world-class entertainment closer to Global Pinoys wherever they may be.
Through a strategic maritime collaboration with Home2US Communications and FrontM Limited, the network marks a significant expansion of its global footprint by bringing its international channels, GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Life TV, on board commercial vessels worldwide.
Under the distribution agreement, Home2US serves as the contracting content partner, supported by an integrated delivery ecosystem that combines its advanced global broadcast and streaming capabilities with FrontM’s onboard technology infrastructure. This ensures seamless access to licensed GMA programming at sea, strengthening the network’s connection with Global Pinoys throughout their journeys.
“In line with our 2026 theme, The Heart of Global Pinoys, this partnership honors Filipino seafarers who continue to make extraordinary contributions to global shipping despite the many challenges they face, including long periods away from home and their families,” said GMA Network First Vice President and Head of International Operations Joseph T. Francia. “By bringing GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Life TV on board vessels, we help them stay connected to home through stories that are proudly Filipino, as well as the latest news and entertainment wherever they sail.”
“In partnership with GMA Network and FrontM, we are proud to bring GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Life TV to Filipino seafarers worldwide,” said Home2US Communications, Inc. Founder, CEO, and President Emrah Ozkhan. “By combining our global broadcast and streaming capabilities with onboard technology, we are able to deliver licensed Filipino programming seamlessly, helping crews stay informed, entertained, and connected to home while at sea.”
“Our focus is on creating an onboard viewing experience that is live, shared, and meaningful for crews,” said FrontM Lead Product Manager Venkatesh Ramakrishnan. “Through this partnership, FrontM’s onboard technology platform helps bring trusted GMA content to vessels worldwide in a way that supports connection, routine, and everyday life at sea.”
Beginning May 1, 2026, this collaboration extends GMA’s international channels and Kapuso programs directly to Filipino seafarers worldwide, reinforcing the Network’s commitment to serving Global Pinoys across land and sea.
At the heart of this viewing experience is GMA Pinoy TV, the Network’s flagship international channel and home of The Heart of Global Pinoys.
GMA Pinoy TV delivers a dynamic lineup of drama, variety, comedy, and public affairs programs curated for Global Pinoys, which includes the Network’s award-winning flagship newscast “24 Oras;” the well-loved game show “Family Feud Philippines;” interviews and meaningful conversations with Kapuso stars and more on “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda;” the long-running gag show “Bubble Gang;” stories of hope and resilience in “Tadhana;” the hit magazine show “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” — and many more.
Meanwhile, GMA Life TV reflects various facets of the Filipino lifestyle through features and storytelling that remind viewers there is always more to enjoy in life. The channel features a vibrant mix of lifestyle, travel, food, and culture programs: from travel adventures on “Biyahe ni Drew,” flavorful journeys on “Pinas Sarap” to daily Filipino movies on “Reel Life,” the engaging infotainment program “Dami Mong Alam, Kuya Kim!” alongside practical wellness insights from “Pinoy M.D.”
GMA Network’s collaboration with Home2US Communications and FrontM Limited reinforces its mission to share heartfelt Filipino stories worldwide—bringing GMA Pinoy TV, The Heart of Global Pinoys, closer to Filipino seafarers and deepening their connection to culture, heritage, and community across oceans.
