ABS-CBN TAKIPSILIM: Twilight the Philippine Version?
Posted by patricioelsuplado on January 5, 2009 · 25 Comments
Twilight fans in the Philippines: Rejoice — or not? Philippines’ biggest broadcasting corporation ABS-CBN is set to produce a local TV series of the hit movie Twilight based from Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Book Series.
The tentative title of the local series is Takipsilim. I think its the Filipino translation for Twilight, haha. Im not really sure. I myself was shocked when the news first broke out from ABS-CBN online arm ABS-CBNNews.Com. In fact, Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao are said to play the roles of the vampire Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan. A random fan of Twilight photoshopped the Twilight poster. See the image after the jump. ABS-CBN Chief Executive Officer Gabby Lopez was said to have bought the franchise from the foreign franchise owner and is planned to be serialized on television.
Filipino Twilight fans feedbacks are divided: Some were happy, but some were also disapppointed. Majority of those that were happy are the Rayver Cruz-Shaina Magdayao tandem loyalistas. While those that were unhappy about this are those that underestimates ABS-CBN’s capacity to produce a big TV series like Twilight. And A LOT OF foreign Twilight fans are totally grossed out in this news, read their comments on Perez Hilton’s entry. This news is totally big that it even landed on Perez Hilton’s Blog — Hollywood’s most hated and popular website.

ganyan pala ang DOS…
nagbalita cla na magkakaroon ng takipsilim (ang napaka-walang kwentang filipino version ng twilight), tapos kapag panget ang kinalabasan, ide-deny nila na nagbalita sila ng ganyang issue!!!
bagay na bagay talaga ang KAPAMILYA noh… pero mas bagay ang kapamilYUCK!!!!
SANA NAMAN MALAMAN nio na ndi dapat maxadong mataas ang tingin nio sa sarili nio… akala nio kc kaya nio un….
DREAM ON SUCKERS!!

CguRoH maGaNDa NUaMAn Ang KkLabAsaN niTo mggLiNG nMaN anG mGa ArtisT..txKah dpAt nga taNgkiliKin Toh NG mGa piNoy EH kc piNOy TaU,,kNg Kaya Ng Mga Taga iBnG bansA kaYA dN nTen!!WOOOH!!NagComMEnt Lng aqUo,,aT auqNg bGyaN nyu tOh nG masaManG mGa iniisip,,^_^ tnx!
so totoo pala ang balita…………..
cguro naman mga matalino kayo noh para maisip na MARAMING NAGAGALIT SA INYO!!!!!!!!!!
alam nya kung bakit galit ang fans ng twilight sa inyo
kc wla kayong originality!!!!
well, alam ko naman na ang kapamilya ay mga wlang originality for short
mga IMITATOR!!!! ang mga kapamilya……..
Wala akong masabi, abs cbn is the best. pinka mayaman! were no. 1
sana c dether ocampo at melisa ricks nalang ang gawing cast ng twilight phillippine version.
deither ocampo and melisa ricks is the best para sa twilight phillippine version try nyo tandem nila…………..
whhaattt????!!!!
no way!!
wag babuyin ang twilight.
you can’t top the movie.
and no one in dos is good enough for the roles.
in your dreams!
why shaina??? i mean there are a lot of talented actresses in abs-cbn.. i don’t think that shaina can justify the role as bella swan… look, shaina’s not that good… and since this is twilight, i think abs-cbn must think twice about the casting…. if they want to pursue with it..
haha!
) nakakatawa yung poster. 
) ang fake. 
) pero anyways, abs-cbn should be more original noh! nakakahiya naman kung lahat na lang nirerevise para ipalabas sa philippine tv. masmaganda kung sariling sikap at mga ganun. 
lahat na lang kasi ay trinatranslate into tagalog. 
) let’s be original. Ü
wala nabang maisip mga writers?…this os such one stupid idea! better close down that station kung ganun.
omg!!!
what the beep!
paborito ko ung twilight tapos ccrain nyo lang..tnx a lot!
u guys should stop copying other countries thang! ok!!!

KAPUSO PARIN AKO!!!

Well Ms. Fanatic, if you are really a bookworm then you should know that your grammar is stupid it makes me sick. Seriously, if you love books then you should now know that:
a.) You don’t mix punctuation together, no matter what.
b.) Capitalization is necessary.
c.) Correct spelling means you have a brain. Bcoz should be because, ur means your, etc.
And oh, I’m not surprised. Anyone who likes how Twilight is written (not the whole theme of the book, but Meyer’s writing style replete with grammar and style errors it makes me hurl) is absolutely a moron.
You are not a bookworm. Stop posing as one.
ang msa2bi qo …
ang baduy nyo!!!!!
stale comment, naghahanap kase ako ng photo ng twilight pero hindi apple, kundi atis. hehe. yup, its been some months. wala namang takipsilim!
blog hopping mode!
kabadtrip nmn ang abs-cbn. Confirm n mraming mggalit s knla. I hate this idea ng pinoy version. Kaasar SPOILER tlga!!!!!!!
For sure mbbaboy lng ung story.
Masyado kyong trying hard
Ano gnon? feeling nyo kyo si Edward at si Bella?
W…O…W…. hnd tlga bgay kkasuka!!!
FEELING!!!!!!!!! Inis :-{
Could you PLEASE……. PLEASE…..PLEASE….. Stop the pinoy version of twilight. It’s making me sick just trying to think of it. Feels like I’m going to barf anytime.
EEEWWWW!!!!!!!
Stop this please. it will destroy the credibility of ABS tska ng mga filipinos. what would others think? no originality tayo? pa’no natin mapapa-international mga projects natin, eh puro tayo gaya?
I mean, nahirapan ngang gawin ung movie talaga ng twlight, tapos gagayahin lang? malaki ang budget niyan. and then ung mga napili niyong actors? grabe. who’s gonna watch that? pwede ba gumawa na lang ng original na story? hindi ung nangagaya tayo?
wow. what would you think ang iisipin ng ibang countries sa atin? Immitators? No credibility? No originality? Come on ppl! gawan niyo ng paraan ‘to! For sure di ako manunuod niyan. i will not support this. Nag-sayang lang kayo ng pera dyan. swear.
aun lang masasabi ko. super wala kayong originality! WTH!? EEEW talaga, amf.
