Ok, imagine this…Gossip Girl-meets-Project Runway-meets-The Devil Wears Prada and what do you get? ABS-CBN’s newest teleserye titled “Magkaribal” (Rivals) which is being tagged as the fashion-serye to watch out for!

I expect this soap to be glossy – extravagant even – not only because it revolves around the world of fashion, but because the lead star, Gretchen Barretto is going all out in flashing her expensive wardrobe, designer shoes, and all sorts of bling-bling. And as an added bonus, Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2009 Bianca Manalo will be joining the cast in her first-ever primetime project for ABS-CBN. Others in the cast are Bea Alonzo, Derek Ramsey, Erich Gonzales, Enchong Dee and Angel Aquino.

“Magkaribal” will start airing this month over ABS-CBN’s primetime block.
