Pira-pirasong Pangarap (Broken Dreams) is an award-winning[1][2] Filipino drama anthology produced by Sampaguita Television and aired on GMA Network and Super Radyo DZBB. It was hosted by Gina de Venecia also known as Manay Gina.[3]

The plight of battered women and children whose lives were transformed by The Haven for Women (an establishment of the nine-building in Alabang. It was inaugurated in September 30, 1995. Its main goal is to rehabilitate the abused women and help them to reclaim their God-given right to live with dignity) served as inspiration for her to come up a radio drama program entitled Pira-pirasong Pangarap, launched in June 1996 on DZRH. The following year, its TV version made its debut on GMA Network. This also caused the Pira-piraso... radio drama to moved from DZRH to Super Radyo DZBB, the AM Radio station of GMA Network. During its run, the show raked in five Best Drama Series trophies from the Philippine Movie Press Club's (PMPC) Star Award.[1][2]

The TV drama's goal was not only to showcase of the immense talents of the country's finest directors, actors and script-writers, but also brought to every home the plight of battered women.

After seven years, the program was re-launched as Nagmamahal, Manay Gina in the tri-media: GMA Network (as a TV series), DZBB (as a radio drama) and Balita tabloid (as a weekly column).[4] Its radio version has won two Catholic Mass Media Awards as Outstanding Radio Drama Series.[5][6]
