IN a mysterious realm unknown to humanity lies a fascinating world where magic is a way of life. Here dwell the most colorful creatures possessing extraordinary abilities and uncanny skills that exemplify their unique powers as true magicians.

This magical world unfolds in Majika, the newest GMA-7 telefantasya. Majika introduces Saladin, the magnificent world of Salamangka or magic. Amidst this supernatural world of spells, charms, potions and other magical goings-on, Majika presents a riveting story of how two young Salamangkas, in their quest to discover themselves and decipher the scope of their magical abilities, find themselves bound by the overwhelming power of love.

Majika reunites two of the country’s most sought-after young talents, Angel Locsin and Dennis Trillo, who were last seen together on television in the record-breaking TV remake of the Mars Ravelo classic, Darna. In Majika, Angel plays Sabina, a seemingly ordinary girl who lived in the world of mortals but is unknowingly the one destined to become Saladin’s most powerful female Salamangka.

She is the eldest child of Garam (Zoren Legaspi) and Ayesa (Carmina Villaroel), two Salamangkas who fled from Saladin to escape the wrath of Markadan (Eddie Garcia), a powerful dark magician. Sabina’s happy life is shattered when her parents, along with her siblings Jimboy (Rainier Castillo) and Sara (Ryza Cenon), are abducted and brought to Saladin, leaving her alone in the world of mortals at a very young age.

Sabina will eventually find her way to Saladin with the help of Eloida (Jean Garcia), a Salamangka who was punished and exiled to the mortal world, and her son Argo (Dennis Trillo) who will train Sabina into becoming a very powerful Salamangka. Argo becomes the hero who himself possesses extraordinary powers and helps Sabina achieve the full potential of her inherent powers. Together, Sabina and Argo will discover how the power of their love for each other can do wonders to the intricate world of Saladin.

Majika also stars Eddie Gutierrez who plays Balkan, the most powerful Salamangka who heads Saladin’s Pater or the council of masters which includes Aduro (Jaime Fabregas), Malko (Nanding Josef), Carab (Spanky Manicad) and Dibin (Gabe Mercado).

Representing and fighting for the Pater are the Umbras or nymphs Naryan (Valerie Concepcion), Lyness (Sheena Halili), Lyjah (Nicole Anderson), Vynah (Ehra Madrigal), Salye (Nikki Lirag), and Amyla (Jade Lopez).

Katrina Halili plays Juno, daughter of Adana (Gina Alajar) and the Salamangka who will become Sabina’s mortal enemy. On the other hand, Polo Ravales is Ebrio, a Salamangka who is envious of his brother Argo. Completing Majika’s cast are Jake Cuenca as Terman, Bearwin Meily as Bodyal, Mel Kimura as Besay, and Gene Padilla as Magil.

Majika is directed by Eric Quizon (who also directed Darna) and Mac Alejandre (Let the Love Begin). RJ Nuevas (Sugo), is the headwriter and Don Michael Perez (Mulawin) is the creative consultant.

Majika airs weeknights in GMA-7’s primetime Telebabad Block
