It does this by revealing the little known tragedies and challenges behind the success of GMA News TV’s personalities. In this station and social media campaign, they share their personal struggles (#maypinagdadaanan) and how these became their source of hope (#maypagasa). They also share life stories of a few of their news and documentary subjects so that others can draw inspiration from them.

GMA News TV believes that we are all have our own story of hope. And as we help one another rise up, we help our nation rewrite its future.

THEME SONG LYRICS:

ANO ANG KWENTO NG PAG-ASA MO?

May pinagdadaanan ka ba?
Marami ka bang tanong?
Pagod nang tahakin
ang iyong landas
Paikot-ikot lang

Tulad mo ang aking kwento ay di perpekto
Wag na wag ka sanang matutong sumuko
Ituloy mo ang iyong paglalakbay
sa kabila ng dagok
Tuklasin ang iyong biyaya
sa dilim ng pagsubok
Nadarama mo ba
Di ka nag-iisa
May kasama’t karamay ka
sa iyong pag-aalala

Ngayon ang panahon
maniwala sa tanging taglay
Na ang iyong pangarap
ay may katuparan

Ano ang kwento ng pag-asa mo?
Gusto kong marinig
nang maisapuso
Pinagdadaanan laging may dahilan
Silayin mo ang ganda at liwanag ng buhay
May magagawa ka
Manalig ka

Ano ang kwento ng pag-asa mo?
Gusto kong marinig
nang maisapuso

Ang iyong tagumpay
sa amin ay magiging gabay
Isulong ang hangad
na liwanag ng buhay
Mangarap ka
Manalig
Sa kwento ng pag-asa mo
Babangon ang Pilipino
