wow that Phi Mermaid has styles.

Channel 7 had another one which is called "Mulawin" Bird-like people!

so wat exactly are theses programmes about ???

it's a fantaserye about mermaids..
originated by marina of ABS-CBN
followed by marinara of GMA

ok so wat is the total difference?

who has the bigger tail fin?

abit pointless that there is 2 programmes of the same content.wats the point?

this picture reminded me of this movie i watched before...i forgot what the title of the movie is, but it's about a mermaid. Neitherway...carry on

i recognise that girl in that pic,isnt that rufa mae quinto??also someone answer my question from last entry!!

^ both teleserye is about mermaids... the differece is that marina is more on drama while marinara is comedy

what the hell?! i dont see no pictures....

The Star of Marinara

Ruffa Mae Quinto

The joke is that who is more beautiful mermaid ?

Ruffa Mae Quinto or Claudine Baretto ?

Claudine Barretto is pretty and her older sister too!

she has two sis? sino don?

Gretchen!!

yeah, even without make-up, gretchen is still pretty.

i knew i was right!!!wouldnt it have been easier if they had one mermaid programme which was serious and funny at the same time ,i think rufa mae is pretty!!!!!!

they just made marinara in counterpart of marina on the other network.

^they are both pretty!

*hey pucca long time no see!!!!

the fantaserye or the characters?

hey kimmie !!!!!!

i think the sense of humour of a programme makes it more watchable.yeah they are pretty in their own way but who would guys prefer more,rufa mae got sex appeal i think!!!

i think marinara flopped!

mnnag Mulawin< common yan sa mnga myths all over south east asia yata. TAwag yan "garuda".

She is already taken with live-in boyfriend "Tony " Boy Cojuangco

^ I figured

The antagonist in Marinara is the actress Sherlyn Reyes -Arawana and a Digitalized creature similar to one of the pokemon monster called" Tsunami"

And the counter part of Marina "Dagatlandia" in Marinara is "Laotlaot"

Some people say that "Gretchen" is a Kabit or Mistress of Tony boy !

Mayroon po bang asawa si Tony?

The hit of mermaids influences different sides of t.v industry, even the music video of Christian Bautista "Hands to Heaven" has the taste of mermaidry....hahahaha

the way these two stations compete with one another is freakin so childish. they even have identical names... which station copied who?

Both stations are copying from each other!

Next time you might hear the other station calling their new show" Mulawinara"

I wonder what does it looked like?

what do you think ABC 5?hhehe

Does ABC 5 had another Mermaid teleseries?

What I know in IBC channel 13 noontime show they have a segment called" Marinated" with Mermaids and all those stuff.

Bobby Yan together with Mike Chan and Hubs were the mainstay of "Chowtime"

So it is Marina, Marinara and Marinated?

What is next?

I have no idea it could be the variety show?
