Cignal TV launches "Tabi Po" The Series on SARI SARI Channel

"Tabi Po" The Series on Sari Sari Channel of Cignal TV

"Aswang," others say it's just part of Filipino folklore, while the others continue to disregard and doubt about its existence and for some, they actually believe because they had their own share of experience. As for me, my understanding of "Aswang" or the flesh-eating creature disguised as human too, is that it's a kind of sickness or syndrome, which they inherited from their ancestors. I was able to gather and thought of this legendary notion from my grandmother whom we also call our family's version of "Lola Basyang," and from different articles, hearsays and films. 

My grandmom, never runs out of interesting and very thrilling stories to tell. She was born and raised in a small town in Catanduanes in Bicol Region. I hope I had her very retentive memory and the enthusiasm she has whenever she talks about her so-called "Aswang Chronicles." Anyway, my curiosity about the "Aswang" creatures was triggered because of her. :)) 

I am a fan of horror films, stories and anecdotes, that's why when I've learned about the newa that Cignal TV will launch the "Tabi Po" series in their SARI SARI Channel, I felt the thrill and excitement already. Seldom do we know that a horror-thriller tv series like "Tabi Po," would be actually seen and watched by us, spectators in this very modern age and technology. 

You know sometimes we really have to look back and appreciate some things that were taken from the past. We would not be here if it wasn't from our ancestors and all their speculative beliefs after all. :) 


The cast, writer and director of "Tabi Po," the series during its media launch held at URBN Bar in Timog, Quezon City. 




Two questions that's been bugging me: One. Do "Aswangs"  really exist? 
Two. If the answer to my first question if YES, did they manage to be alive and hunt people down 'til this present time? What's your take on this? 


This is AJ Muhlach who plays Elias, during  one of his scenes in the pilot episode, how horrifying right?! 


During the medial launch, singer Nicole performed "Tabi Po" sountrack, entitled "Mi Amor." Watch it here.


Tabi Po tells the story of Elias, a neophyte aswang. Born from a tree during the country’s Spanish era, Elias embarks on a journey with two older aswangs, Tasyo and Sabel, in the quest to understand their true nature. Along the way, Elias meets Salome, a sex slave of the friars, and falls in love with her. In the middle of a rising revolution, Elias is forced to face his own battles – his love for Salome versus his hunger for flesh, the growing rift between himself and Tasyo, the society's stigma with aswangs, and the battle with his own inner demons.

Unlike anything on TV now, Tabi Po shows love, beauty, amidst the horrific lives of these creatures called aswang. Where did they come from? What is their purpose? Is there more to the massive killing, gore and bloodshed typically associated with them? Know the untold stories behind the aswang in this new cinematic tv masterpiece.

This series is a TV adaptation of Mervin Malonzo’s best-selling graphic novel series with the same title that won the National Book Awards for Graphic Literature. Directed by award-winning director Paul Basinilio, Tabi Po stars a powerhouse cast led by Luis Alandy as Tasyo, Phoebe Walker as Sabel, Jourdanne Castillo as Salome, and AJ Muhlach as Elias.
