After over two years on air with several milestones achieved, GMA Network’s top-rating afternoon drama “Abot-Kamay Na Pangarap” nears its finale on Oct. 19.

The record-breaking show is headlined by Ms. Carmina Villarroel as Lyneth, Mr. Richard Yap as Doc RJ, and Star of the New Gen Jillian Ward as Doc Analyn.

During a media conference at Studio 7 of the broadcast network, the stars of the series were emotional as they thanked the viewers for making the program one of the most watched afternoon series on GMA.

"Thank you GMA for giving me a fantastic show. When it was offered to me, I was hesitant coming from 'Widows' Web.' Sabi ko ibang-iba ito. Okay ba ito? Nagpapasalamat ako na hindi ako nagkamali na tanggapin ang decision na ito," said Carmina, who then started to cry.

Carmina said: "Baka mamaya, ma-edit edit na naman ito at iba ang lumabas bakit ako umiiyak. Testigo kayo rito ha kung bakit ako umiiyak." She also praised the hardworking team of the series.

Jillian dedicated the show to her late grandmother.

"Noong tinawagan ako and I was told na para sa akin ang role na ito, hindi ako agad na-excite. Kasi sabi ko batang doktor, sino ang manonood?

"Pero yung mga kasama ko po sila ang nagsasabi na we believe in you. Ilang beses na rin ako napapaiyak sa set because pressured ako sa sarili ko.

"Feeling ko kasi hindi ko-deserve ang ganitong kalaking role. Pero pina-feel nila direk na deserving ako at may purpose yung ginagawa ko.

"Dahil sa kanila natuto akong maging compassionate and passionate. I go to work excited na feeling ko meron akong nanay, tatay at mga kapatid. God knows how much I appreciate and love them. I will forever cherish this family," said Jillian.

Pinky Amador who plays Morgana said: "I'm thankful for GMA and the creatives a binigyan nila ako ng ganitong pagkakataon. Salamat sa pagmamahal na hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan. Mahirap din yata na mabuo na ito so I'm so thankful na nangyari ito."

Dina Bonnevie who plays Giselle admitted the cast was looking forward to the show's ending after the holidays.

"We were looking to spending Christmas together pero all things must come to an end. Thank you sa lahat ng nagmahal sa character ko at sana may napulot kayong aral sa kanya," she said.

Dina added: "The show tackled so many things. Iba't-ibang mother and daughter relationships. Lahat tayo may pangarap at sa lahat ng pangarap mo ay nakakabit ang mga mahal mo sa buhay.

"Lahat ng mga nakamit mong pangarap at hindi mo nakamit sa buhay, apektado ang mga mahal mo sa buhay.

"Pero kung tama ang pag-abot natin sa mga pangarap na wala tayong tinatapakan at sinaktan na tao, malinis at masaya tayo na nakamit ang ating pangarap.

"Kung nanakit tayo ng tao at gumawa tayo ng masama, kung makamit mo man ang mga pangarap mo, hindi ka masaya," Dina also said.

Bringing more depth to the story are Allen Dizon as Carlos, Kazel Kinouchi as Doc Zoey, Andre Paras as Doc Luke, Chuckie Dreyfus as Doc Ray, Wilma Doesnt as Josa, Jeff Moses as Reagan, John Vic De Guzman as Doc Ken, and Korean Sparkle artist Kim Ji Soo as Doc Kim.

After becoming the youngest doctor in town, Analyn ensured that her mother, Lyneth, went back to school and graduated from college—a proud accomplishment for them both. But Analyn’s journey didn’t stop there. She also set out on a personal quest to discover her true identity, eventually finding her biological father, Doc RJ.

Analyn then learns about her step-sister, Zoey, who instantly became her rival at the APEX Medical Center and a competitor for their father's affection. But despite various obstacles and emotional setbacks, Analyn refused to give up on her dreams.

Now, as “Abot Kamay Na Pangarap” approaches its finale, the stakes couldn’t be higher. What else is Zoey willing to do to destroy Analyn’s reputation?
