Viewers who missed watching the family-friendly Halloween series ELEMENTO, which brought to life creatures from Philippine myths and legends, can still catch its reruns on GMA News TV this November 7, 14, 21, and 28 at 10:15 PM after State of the Nation with Jessica Soho.
Shot as mini feature films by acclaimed horror director Topel Lee, the four-part series tells the fascinating stories of four elementals and their unique relationships with human children: a manananggal in the air, a kapre representing the earth, a river fairy protecting the water, and a black dwarf with the power of fire.
On November 7, catch “SI ESPERANZA, ANG REBELDENG MANANANGGAL” starring Glaiza de Castro as Esperanza together with Valerie Concepcion and Maria Isabel Lopez and child actors Carl Acosta and Nourish Icon Lapuz.
Esperanza, a pediatrician and devoted mother of two, harbors a deep, dark secret. At the stroke of midnight, she transforms into a manananggal! But instead of eating fetuses like the rest of her family, she flies through the skies rescuing abused children. Chaos begins when her evil sister Lucila comes looking for her in the big city and discovers how much Esperanza has changed.
“ANG MASAYAHING KAPRE NA SI ITIM,” which tells about a protective kapre, airs on November 14; while “PANDORA, ANG DIWATA NG WAWA,” a tale of a river goddess, follows on November 21. “APOY NI BAMBOLITO,” a story about a unique black dwarf, airs on November 28.
Catch all these family-friendly stories on myths and legends in Elemento every Friday night beginning November 7 right after State of the Nation with Jessica Soho on GMA News TV.
