*2026-04-14*

Some GMA teleserye shows not available in Canada, Saudi Arabia, UAE and USA, but you must subscribe to iWant TFC with GMA Pinoy TV bundles via iWant app or use with Philippines and some Asian VPN to watch GMA teleseryes on YouTube 

Use Windscribe to PH server and Netflix

Bakit ipagdadamot nyo sa mga Pilipinong nasa abroad ang Sanggre?!?! Eto na nga lang yung outlet namin para mapanood ang Sanggre. Tapos suddenly after 28 episodes bigla nyong hindi gagawing available sa US? Nakakaloka.

### 4/5 — Eng. sub

*2024-12-01*

I’m really having a hard time trying to understand the language but it would also be best if you guys can also provide English translation because in that way it is more easier to understand and learn the language’s basics.

### 3/5 — Subtitle not working

*2024-08-29*

I really like watching GMA from TFC whoever some of the tv series are not available so I decided to download this app. I was watching Pulang Araw and there is a Japanese dialect it doesn’t have the subtitle at all I can’t understand what they were saying, even after I turned on the subtitles but the subtitles is only available when they speak tagalog to english. Please fix this issue. I live in Canada and its the only way I can watch GMA series.
