Hosted and produced by former Manila Mayor and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Lito Atienza, who is now Buhay Partylist Representative, TV drama anthology “Maynila” has been on air for the past 19 years.

The show, originally aired on weekday afternoons since its debut in November 1998, now broadcasts every Saturday morning at 9:40 on GMA Network. Its main thrust is to entertain viewers with good moral values for story lines that focus on the Filipino family and life in Manila City.
