She added, "Why? Kasi feel na feel ko na importante pala ako. Importante pala ang 'Magpakailanman' at ang 'Magpakailanman' pala ay mahal din ng GMA."

For its 7th anniversary, the drama series will be releasing a two-part special entitled "OFW Most Wanted" that will air on December 7 and 14.

The special tells the story of Rens Tuzon, who will be played by Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo, as he goes to Saudi Arabia and experiences multiple forms of abuse while his wife cheats on him back at home.

Joining Dennis in the special are Lito Pimentel, Ina Feleo, and Paolo Paraiso among others. — LA, GMA News
