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.[2]

As the chief of the GMA Network's entertainment block, she experimented with dramas, 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 those of the rival network.[3]

On September 11, 2015, Galvante left her post as the Entertainment Head of TV5, to form Content Cows Company Inc. which produced TV5 programs, including Happy Truck ng Bayan and Wattpad Presents.[4]

Since 2021, Galvante has been tapped as a content consultant for Net 25, the flagship television station of the Eagle Broadcasting Corporation.[5]
