Growing up, we were told countless tales about this infamous miscreation in Philippine folklore known as aswang. Always depicted as a flesh eating and ruthless creature hunting for its prey, is that what they really are-mindless killing ghouls? Know the untold stories behind the aswang in this new cinematic tv masterpiece.
Cignal TV, through its SARI SARI Channel, brings you a brave and bold TV series about the lives of awangs in "Tabi Po".
Been able to watch the sneak preview of the Tabi Po Series on its media launch and all I can say is, it is gory and daring. This is something new in Philippine television for giving us audience an innovative and strong content that we don't usually see on local television. Production design and sound is also commendable on this TV series as it been able to achieve the look and the feels of the graphic novel Tabi Po.
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 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.
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. The epic tale premieres on October 27, 2017 and will air every Friday at 8:00 PM until December 1, 2017 on SARI-SARI channel brought to you by Philippines' premier pay TV provider, Cignal TV.
