Omigosh! at first i thought it was just a joke but now i realized its true. Saw the news about it in PerezHilton. I first found out about it after a friend send me a link to an online petition that wants to halt its production. Basically, ABC-CBN, one of the big media giant in the Philippines bagged the rights to make a local tv series of the popular Twlight. Sheesh… i just wish if ever it will push through that it will be good if as not good as twlight itself. Shaina who will be potraying Bella looks good and i think she’ll do just fine (and thinking among the ABC-CBN actresses, i think she’s the best choice anyway) however its sad that Edward will be portrayed by Shain’a onscreen loveteam partner Rayver. He doesn’t look as handsome, attractive and stunning as what we would expect of an Edward, really. I know a lot of Pinoy Twilight fans didn’t like this news and yet some are right when they said we should not judge them as early as now. I think Richard Gutierrez would have made a good Edward (but haha, a Richard-Shaina tandem? impossible, for now, lol. and oh, sorry but i’m not a Richard fan either, just thought they might look good as Edward-Bella). So there, i wonder what news would pop out soon about this… lets wait and see… and btw, i did sign the petition. haha =p

The poster’s fake, obviously. Shooting starts February, so the January 2009 release date on the poster is unlikely true. Looks photoshopped, too. The news is real, though. And I do agree that Rayver should be replaced with someone “prettier”, since the western counterpart is a pretty poster boy.
I think Twilight’s overrated, anyway. No offense, but the plot’s a nobrainer for me. I’ve read the book. Twice. The series just went downhill from the first one. However, the whole weak writing thing, for me, just sits well with local Pinoy soaps. Just my two cents. Sorry if I offend some fans.
Then, again, I’m seeing this in a positive light. Sooner or later, someone will post subtitled episodes of these in the net, and Twilight fans all over the world will watch it, bringing our country into the map. Koreanovellas, Chinovellas, and Mexicanovellas are known around the world, and who knows. Maybe Teleseryes will follow suit.

hahai….
frankly speaking, I kinda loathe the idea a wee bit..
I think Shaina will have a good shot at being Bella.. I mean, she’s somewhat fitted for the role anyhow… Pero, I highly doubt Rayver… I mean, his “face” won’t do justice to being “Edward”… grr…
Anyhow, I just really hope that they will not make it “baduy”… I hope they will do their best to live up to the expectations of filipino twi fans; coz accept it or not, this “telenovela” would be watched by LOADS of twi fans..
konjurer8672, I kinda agree with you regarding the “whole word watching the teleserye thing”. Philippines could be recognized as one of the first countries to adapt “twilight”… so, I dearly hope that Rayver and Shaina will work hard on this, coz Filipinos will not be the only race who’ll catch a glimpse on this, but there could be possibilities that even people behind the foreign version of “twilight” will stumble upon it.. (who knows?, maybe Stephenie herself, or Rob or Kristen)..
but then again, people would somehow discriminate our race.. err… you should see how “mga kano” commented on the said issue… grr.. some of them stumbled upon the news already, and they were like, freakin’ out when they saw rayver’s face…
so more power!
