Sumasapuso (stylized as SumasaPuso) is a Philippine radio drama program broadcast by Super Radyo DZBB, the flagship AM radio station of GMA Network Inc. Hosted by Toni Aquino, the program features listeners' stories paired with music and dramatized readings, and is broadcast on weekdays at its noontime slot.

The program is available online via YouTube, Facebook, Spotify, and the official GMA Network radio streaming website.

Overview

Sumasapuso premiered on March 28, 2022, airing Mondays to Fridays originally from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM timeslot, on Super Radyo DZBB. The program blends elements of AM and FM radio formats by combining storytelling, dramatization, and popular music, with Toni Aquino reading letters from listeners and presenting real-life inspired stories accompanied by songs. It also incorporates short news updates. Notably during its first year, the program reused several dramas that had previously aired on its RGMA FM counterpart, Barangay Love Stories on Barangay LS 97.1. This programming exchange was two-way, as Barangay Love Stories later reused select dramas that had previously aired on Sumasapuso.

In November 2022, the program was given a Special Citation for Best Entertainment Program at the 44th Catholic Mass Media Awards, marking its first industry acknowledgment.

On January 23, 2023, the program was reduced from 120 minutes to 90 minutes (12:30 PM to 2:00 PM) due to the new DZBB timeslot for Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

In November 2023, the program received recognition at the 45th Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA), where it won in the Best Drama Program category. It later went on to win Best Radio Drama Program at both the 45th and 46th CMMA in 2024.

For its second anniversary in 2024, Sumasapuso featured a special episode titled "Hanggang sa Dulo", in which DZBB anchors—including Arnold Clavio, Orly Trinidad, Rowena Salvacion, Lala Roque, Connie Sison, and Weng dela Peña—provided the voices for the drama, with Toni Aquino guiding the performance.

In 2025, Sumasapuso expanded its reach through digital platforms with the release of its official podcast on Spotify, allowing audiences to listen to its episodes on demand.

In October 2025, Toni Aquino was awarded Best AM Radio Female Personality for her work on Sumasapuso at the Alta Media Icon Awards.
