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.
