Ultimate Throwback March

Yes, March indeed is the ultimate throwback month for ABS-CBN because a lot of shows and familiar stories are about to return!

Let's start off with the return of the well-loved Koreanovela which was aired last 2011 - MY GIRLFIREND IS A GUMIHO. It starts airing tomorrow at 5:15 PM.

Before the return of a favorite character, let us of course watch the finale week of the longest pre-primetime teleserye to date - ANNALIZA! Watch as we guess if she will have a happy ending at 5:45 PM before TV Patrol.

And of course, the much-awaited return of our most beloved comics character - DYESEBEL - starring Gerald Anderson, Sam Milby and ANNE CURTIS in the title role, no less. This airs at 7:45 PM after TV Patrol.

Don't forget that GALEMA is also down to its last two weeks - weekdays at 4:15 PM.

Monday next week, March 24, the most awaited teleserye MIRABELLA starring Julia Barretto is also airing. No timeslot has been announced yet.

AND OF COURSE ON MARCH 31... the return of the steamy afternoon habit returns after PHR has ended its run with the latest Kapamilya Gold offering - MOON OF DESIRE starring Meg Imperial, JC De Vera and Ellen Adarna. BUT BEFORE THAT...

THE ULTIMATE THROWBACK IS HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER IT'S SHOWTIME

BECAUSE THE ASIANOVELA THAT STARTED IT ALL IS BACK.

METEOR GARDEN! Fall in love again with Shan Chai and the F4 weekday afternoons on Kapamilya Gold, and weeknights on Jeepney TV!

And that is our Ultimate Throwback this March only from ABS-CBN! :)

Quiz 5 - Post modernization

In this time today, the local entertainment is trying to get out of the usual pinoy stories. If someone would ask you, "What is Filipino Teleserye?" people will just answer, "mahirap naging mayaman, nagkapalit ng anak, inapi lumaban sa mga nag-api, finale that consists gun shooting and kidnapping, finale wedding and of course, after getting into an accident; the character will have an amnesia".

But now, our local writers try to be open and more expressive on the stories for the people to experience new and much greater stories. Good example to this is some soap operas like Magkaribal that talks about fashion, Ina Kapatid Anak focuses on shoe business, Pangarap na butuin is all about singers, Diva which is a musical, My Husband's Lover that was criticized and created a big issue because it is about a gay love story, and the recent Rhodora X that tackles dissociative identity disorder.




Also, remakes are part of the modern television. It started with GMA 7's Darna which stars Angel Locsin on the year 2006 that made a big bang, and another big hit is ABS-CBN's Mara Clara on the year 2010. Another side of remakes that made a new impact in the world of local television is the remakes of the shows from different countries. Marimar is just one of the biggest proof that Filipinos has this curiosity illness that makes them watch something that made by other countries that are being remade here in the Philippines.





But despite of all these new concepts of Philippine television, there are still subplots that goes back to the cliches and traditional story lines of the usual Filipino stories.
