It's supposed to be Christmas, a time where we can eat lots of delicious Hamonada and lechon and lots of delightful desserts, where we can enjoy our family's company while waiting in high spirits for our presents to be opened.
I'm supposed to feel that way, only something made me stop on my tracks.

While eating dinner my cousin asked me if I ever heard of this one outrageous news:
that ABS-CBN is planning to make a Filipino version of TWILIGHT.

And its title is...

TAKIPSILIM

Yeah, you read it right. You heard it right.
And you'll go crazy with this:

ARE THEY CRAZY???
NUTS? INSANE? DERANGED? BERSERK? DEMENTED?

I also researched on the net. And according to the site perezhilton.com:

"Actors Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao will be portraying Edward and Isabella, respectively, in the ABS-CBN production which will treat the vampire love story as "drama, romance, and fantasy."

It will be directed by Cathy Garcia Molina and is scheduled to begin filming sometime in February, in both the Philippines and abroad.

The news comes as an upheaval to Twilighters across the internet, who have started an online petition to halt production on Takipsilim because it will "ruin the real Twilight.""

I researched more, and found these rumored casts:

Rayver Cruz as Edward Cullen
Shaina Magdayao as Isabella Swan
Valeen Montenegro as Alice Cullen
Gabby Concepcion as Dr. Carlisle Cullen
Luis Manzano as Emmett Cullen
Al Tantay as Charlie Swan
Yayo Aguila as Renee Dwyer
Fred Payawan as Jacob Black
Carlos Agassi as James
Chin Chin Gutierrez as Esme Cullen
Karylle as Rosalie Hale
Joross Gamboa as Jasper Hale
Jessy Mendiola as Jessica Stanley
Empress Schuck as Angela Weber
Brad Murdoch as Laurent
Nikki Bacolod as Victoria
Aaron Villaflor as Mike Newton

...
I think there would be a very evident, nationwide upheaval concerning this. 'Copying' issue is a very loud issue, and now another one is coming up. Expect an uproar.
Filipinos are undoubtedly good actors. But this is going too far. Twilight is a very successful book and movie, and if this goes to Philippine presentation, oho, everything would go haywire. Critics would probably sprout everywhere, and the internet would be bombarded with lots of sideswipes.
If this thingy will be realized in Feb, there would be national shaking of heads, for sure.


Waaaaaahh!
I can't believe it.
It's disgusting.
It's awful.
I dunno how to react, really.

If this will happen, let's just see...
...with arms akimbo...
WHAM!

Huhu... Edward!

Do you have anything to say?

Let's just hope that THIS is just some funny joke.
