Through this mini-series, she will share not just her stories of struggles and hardships but also her determination, passion, and faith in God that helped her in overcoming all her life trials. “Grabe talaga ang pinagdaanan ko simula pagkabata. Kaya noong nagkwe-kwento ako sa writer nitong mini-series, hindi ko mapigilang maiyak. Marami talagang dapat abangan dito sa The Brilliant Life,” Glenda shared.

It was asked in the presscon why Arci Muñoz? According to Ms. Glenda, she (Arci) was the first choice for the role since most people always say that she looks like Arci.

Arci on the other hand was very grateful and blessed that she learned a lot from Glenda and that her story, as young as she is, is indeed very inspiring because she has experienced a lot of ups and downs in her life and she kept moving forward. Glenda said that the people who work for her are her moving force because she knows that she is not only working for herself but a lot of people are counting on her.

JM De Guzman is also part of this heart-warming story as "Mac", the husband of Ms. Glenda.
