''GENESIS''

MANILA, Philippines - Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes

 returns to teleserye action with "Genesis" on GMA-7

Genesis is a Filipino science fiction-drama series broadcasted by GMA Network

starring Dingdong Dantes, Rhian Ramos, TJ Trinidad, Lauren Young and

Lorna Tolentino. It premiered on October 14, 2013 on the network's

 primetime block and worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV on October 14, 2013.

In 2007, a series of catastrophic events happened during the Panagbengga Festival.

The festive occasion becomes a catastrophe as earthquakes and landslides follow

 after fragments of an asteroid hit the area. Isaak is quick to protect the

vice president and his daughter Sandra who is with him in the occasion.

He is also quick in bringing Sandra to the presidential chopper.

 Unbeknownst to Isaak, President Ramona ordered the helicopter

 to immediately pull out leaving the Vice President in peril.

Isaak tries to save the vice president from falling in a pit caused

by the earthquake but it was too late and Edgardo dies. Isaak is devastated as

 he feels dishonored for failing to save the vice president.

Meanwhile, at his hometown, he finds out that his parents

died too and it was only Raquel who survived. As days go by,

 Isaak continues to mourn the death of the people dear to him.

Raquel tries to convince Isaak to leave his job, start all over

again in their hometown, get married and live a quiet life.

Sandra, on the other hand, has no idea on what President Ramona did and

 she doesn’t question Isaak’s loyalty to his father especially Isaak saved her life.

 Sandra and Isaak are both unaware of Ramona’s plot to kill the Vice President.

 Before everyone finds out about what she did and how she abandoned the

vice president during the disaster, she puts the blame on Isaak over the death

 of the vice president. Thus, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and he was

even proclaimed dead by Ramona.

As Raquel thought Isaak is dead, she is pushed to marry Paolo who promises

 her a better life for her and the baby she’s carrying. Meanwhile,

Isaak serves his time in jail, growing more cynical with each passing day.

5 years later, Sandra is a strong candidate for the presidency and eventually,

became the president of the country. After her inauguration, Sandra is called

into an emergency caucus and discovers that the world is about to end and

 realizes that what happened 5 years ago in Baguio has something to do on

the imminent destruction. However, the world government has been

preparing for this all along through “Operation: Genesis.”

It is like a modern-day Noah’s Ark wherein there are

pre-selected people from all countries who will be saved in

order to preserve the human race; and to be selected,

one must be in perfect health condition.

Sandra knows exactly who to give the mission to. She discovers

that Isaak is still alive,

and immediately gives Isaak the presidential pardon because

she believes that he is the only person who can be relied on and

be trusted on this mission. In return, he will be given the chance

to find Raquel and bring her along. He starts his journey in

searching for these selected people.

In his search, he will once again cross paths with Raquel

who is now married to Paolo. Isaak will also meet

Raquel’s daughter, Osie who will teach him how to

 live life once again and hope despite the impending global

catastrophe. And later on, he finds out that Osie is his daughter.

All throughout his journey, Isaak will meet different people

 from different parts of the country. And in trying to offer

them a choice by saving them and by providing hope

for others; he will come to realize that in the midst of

destruction, love is the greatest salvation.

And when chaos strikes, love will be their greatest strength
