Dingdong Dantes to host GMA Network’s crime documentary drama Case Solved
This February, GMA Network introduces its newest procedural crime documentary drama program CaseSolved.
The show aims to deliver awareness and public information to the viewers in order to prevent crime.
Case Solved features sensational and controversial real-life cases ranging from non-aggressive to violent circumstances derived from Philippines’ Supreme Court Reports Annotated (SCRA) handled by the country’s National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Philippine National Police (PNP), International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), judicial agencies like the Department of Justice (DOJ), Supreme Court and Bureau of Corrections. More than presenting how the crime is committed, it further explains how the crime is solved.
Hosted by none other than Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes, this program presents solved cases that will empower and educate the viewers in predicting the probability of a crime before it occurs.
An advocate of justice and peace, Dingdong is equally excited to host this show which can help educate the viewers in crime prevention.
“I like the concept of the show because it’s always good to have concrete stories as example. Also, it shows a positive ending wherein we show the problem’s resolution. The combination of all these things inspires me. With this, I want to share this with all the viewers. I want them to see a story of triumph because we like seeing problems being solved,” said the Kapuso star.
Proudly presented by GMA Entertainment TV, Case Solved premieres worldwide on February 25 and airs every Saturday on GMA’s flagship international channel, GMA Pinoy TV.
