- Is “Bagani” a copycat of Kapuso hit teleserye “Encantadia”?
- LizQuen’s upcoming show “Bagani” has received criticism from “Encantadia” writer Suzette Doctolero
In the midst of heated exchange between the Kapuso and Kapamilya fans over “Encantadia” and ABS-CBN’s upcoming fantaserye titled “Bagani,” former Kapuso journalist Hadji Rieta shared his opinion on Twitter.
“Bagani’s” storyline revolves around pre-colonial Philippine history, the period before the Spaniards invaded the country. Each character will represent an element. Liza will represent air, Enrique for earth, Sofia characterizes water, Matteo for fire, and Makisig to represent trees and woods.
On Twitter, Hadji posted, “ABS-CBN’s #Bagani is an evidence that GMA Network’s #Encantadia, Etheria and Amaya made an excellent job for local fantasy series. We should be then expecting a lot from this show since it will be top billed by among the in-demand loveteams in the Philippines, the #LizQuen.”
Rieta also asked, “On another note, are we still expecting #Darna2018 to happen?”
Rieta also gave his take on the lead characters of “Bagani” and “Encantadia.” “Enrique Gil looks like Prinsipe Ybarro and Liza Soberano resembles Alwina. #Bagani2018”
Hadji Rieta is one of the many Kapuso reporters who left the news agency in 2015.
