This epic tale premieres on October 27, 2017, and will air every Friday at 8:00 PM until December 1, 2017. This TV series is worthy to watch.įind out which side will prevail, Elias’ true bloodthirsty nature or his deep feelings for the girl he loves the most. It is kind of different on the usual aswang teleserye that we watch, the effect is so different and meticulously done to make it real. Yah, just like what they told us that it was 'nakakabitin', I will definitely watch it. I thought I was like watching a movie and the story is very interesting, the acting of AJ Muhlach is superb. I was in awe and got hooked on the Tabi Po TV series.

The media people were given opportunity to watch the pilot episode of the series during the media launch. 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. 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. 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. Unlike anything on TV now, Tabi Po shows love, beauty, amidst the horrific lives of these creatures called aswang.

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. Along the way, Elias meets Salome, a sex slave of the friars, and falls in love with her. 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.

Tabi Po tells the story of Elias, a neophyte aswang. Always depicted as a flesh eating and ruthless creature hunting for its prey, is that what they really are – mindless killing ghouls?Ĭignal TV, through its SARI SARI Channel, brings you a brave and bold TV series about the lives of aswangs in “Tabi po”. Growing up, we were told countless tales about this infamous miscreation in Philippine folklore known as aswang. So the idea of a monster or creature will get the kids is made up just to scare them but still nobody know if its real or not, that's a big big question. This is mostly done by the old ones to discouraged youngsters to go out at night. These were phrases what I remembered used to scare kids like me during those times. Many of us experienced the so called 'May mumu sa labas' or 'May aswang sa labas'.
