Fans of the well-loved Kapuso onscreen pair Kylie Padilla and Ruru Madrid need not wait any longer as the KyRu love team banners GMA News and Public Affairs’ election offering and latest political romantic comedy series TODA One I Love which makes its world premiere this February 4 on GMA Telebabad.

Like the jeepney, the tricycle is a popular means of transportation in the Philippines that reflects the culture and identity of Filipinos. Aside from playing a major part in the daily commute of many Pinoys, the tricycle is also used as a vehicle to promote various products and even political candidates.

TODA One I Love will revolve around the family, dreams, and loves of three lead characters—Gelay, Emong, and Kobe. They will find themselves tangled in the topsy-turvy politics of the Tricycle Operators and Drivers’ Association or TODA, as well as the local mayoral elections.

TODA One I Love gives viewers a glimpse of Philippine local politics—all presented with a sprinkle of comedy and romance. At the center of this latest Kapuso Telebabad offering is the strong-willed, independent young woman Angela “Gelay” Dimagiba, portrayed by versatile actress Kylie Padilla.

An engineering student, Gelay is the daughter of a tricycle driver Mang Tolits and Aling Lea. Family is everything for Gelay; she is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for them. She has a childhood friend Emong, whom she has been crushing on since they were young. But Emong only sees her as a younger sister.

Playing Raymond “Emong” Magsino is Kapuso heartthrob Ruru Madrid. He is the son of Aling Jane and Mang Jessie, the incumbent TODA president. A hard-working lad, Emong is determined to better his life. With his TESDA course under his belt, he goes abroad to work as a mechanic. This temporarily cuts his friendship with Gelay. But when his employer closes shop, Emong has no choice but to go back to the Philippines. Upon his return, Emong discovers that Gelay is still the tough girl he knows—only she has transformed into a beautiful lady. Emong now finds himself head over heels with his childhood friend.

But Emong faces competition when it comes to winning Gelay’s heart: the handsome and prince charming material Kobe Generoso to be portrayed by Chinito heartthrob David Licauco. Even though Kobe is the son of the incumbent Mayor Migs and ex-mayor Mayora Dyna, he still wants to make a name for himself.

But before Gelay decides between her two admirers, her life makes a 180-turn when the TODA Elections spell trouble for her and her family.
