GMA Public Affairs’ hit youth-oriented series “MAKA” kicked off its newest season last Saturday, February 1.
After the heartbreak of losing Douglas MacArthur High School for the Arts, the MAKA squad is embarking on a new journey.
The youngsters think life will be better and more comfortable as they enter the private school, MacArthur Academy. However, a new kind of competition awaits them as fresh faces emerge, making their lives – in terms of school, performing and romance – even more challenging than before.

Returning for the new season are Zephanie, Marco Masa, Ashley Sarmiento, Olive May, John Clifford, Chanty from the K-Pop group Lapillus, Sean Lucas, and May Ann Basa, also known as “Bangus Girl.” The Sparkle stars are joined by new cast members: Shan Vesagas as Shan Rodente, Josh Ford as Josh Taylor, Elijah Alejo as Elijah Rodente, and Bryce Eusebio as Bryce Hernandez. Status by Sparkle influencers MJ Encabo and Cheovy Walter are also in the cast.
The youth-oriented series is directed by Frasco Mortiz, who brings a whole new flavor to the show.
“MAKA” airs every Saturday at 4:45 p.m. on GMA and via Kapuso Stream.
Global Pinoys can watch it via the international channel GMA Pinoy TV.
