Wilma Valle Galvante is the former head of TV5's entertainment division and former GMA Network's senior vice president for entertainment; she is also a producer of numerous TV shows. As the chief of the GMA Network's entertainment block, she experimented with dramas and light-hearted shows and hired writers. She revived the love team tandem popularized in the 1970s, resurrected local comics titles and introduced fantasy series on prime time such as Mulawin. Through her initiative, the network brought the rights to a number of local comics titles such as Darna and Captain Barbell. By the last quarter of 2003, GMA's primetime shows led over the rival network's.
