A series of murders takes place in the metropolis in a span of three weeks, the latest of which happens on the night Junior (Cesar Montano), a taxi driver, makes love to a prostitute. After establishing a pattern from the killings, police investigator Inspector Noble (Rommel Montano) theorizes that a serial killer may be responsible for all the murders. Junior is aware of the killings, but this doesn't bother him.  Instead, he is focused on his new relationship with a girl named Trixie (Sunshine Cruz), a nurse whom he plans to marry.  But Trixie wants Junior to meet her family first, so they head to the countryside where her family lives.

            

       As the story goes, a mysterious man riding in an old van heads towards Trixie's house. When the ominous-looking man reaches the house, he takes down Trixie's family one by one and captures Trixie alive.  Meanwhile, Inspector Noble finally identifies the serial killer—Damian Garote (Johnny Delgado), an officer of Metrocom during Martial Law.  He was considered to be the most brutal and ruthless police officer during his time.  Junior eventually gets in the way of Damian and tries to stop him from getting away with Trixie. The two will recognize each other easily. But in the end, nothing is what it seems.

Genre:   Romance / Drama

Synopsis: In the island province of Bohol during the Japanese Occupation in the Philippines, a banca operator-turned-guerrilla named Duroy (Cesar Montano) falls in love with Iset (Juliana Palermo), a lovely lass from the same village where the people’s main thoroughfare is a river. 

            John Smith (Philip Anthony), an American stingy landowner is captivated by Iset’s beauty, and so is Duroy’s brother Ibo (Reiven Bulado). Since Duroy adores his family, he gives way to his younger brother.

           

          When the Japanese invasion begins, Fumio Ohkohara (Jackie Woo), a handsome Japanese officer takes over the village and also falls in love with Iset. 

            

           During the Japanese Era, Duroy joins a band of guerillas and later becomes their leader, mainly because of his talent in creating innovative methods in fighting the enemy. Iset, on the other hand, is appalled at the brutality of the Japanese and her father’s collaboration with them. She makes a bold move against her parents and what they stand for by joining the guerillas.

           

         After a series of sorties, Duroy leads a final assault over the Japanese and succeeds.  It boosts his low self-esteem as an underachiever and illiterate person.

           

        What appears to be a battle won in love and in war takes a strange twist in the end with the return of the American suitor.  Duroy, after getting rid of the ghosts of his troubled and deprived past, decides for everyone else. He answers the insistent call of the river.

Genre:   Action /Adventure /Comedy

Synopsis: Asian Treasures is an engaging story involving the quest for hidden treasures that date back from the start of Philippine civilization. It is said that these treasures were gathered from different parts of Asia by 10 Bornean Datus who formed a city in a place known as Itim na Ginto (Black Gold). This secret has been passed on among the descendants of two groups of Filipinos -- the KKK (Kapatirang Kumakalinga ng Kayamanan), who wants to protect the treasures, and the Sudama, the group who has selfish intentions in finding the treasures. Coming from the lineage of the KKK, Gabriela (Angel Locsin) is an iron-willed young lass who was well-trained in the field of combat for an all-important task of carrying on the mission of her ancestors. Since the Sudama have begun an aggressive pursuit of the hidden treasures, even obliterating KKK members who got in the way of their quest, the KKK needs to get ahead to be able to protect the treasures. In an unlikely turn of events, Gabriela’s path will cross with the wisecracking auto-mechanic-cum-stuntman Elias (Robin Padilla) who will be her companion in her special mission. Together, they will travel to different parts of Asia in search of the 10 powerful amulets and the clues leading to where the 10 Datus hid their Asian Treasures. As they face peril after peril in their Asian adventures, Elias and Gabriela will find something more precious than the treasures they are after, for they will soon realize that love has the ultimate power to turn their lives around.

Ang Mahiwagang Baul

      “Ang Mahiwagang Baul” unravels the magical world of Philippine Folklore.  In the early days, it is accustomed to Filipino children to hear and read stories about Philippine myths and legends that have been intrinsically woven into the country’s rich culture. Unfortunately, today’s generation of Filipino children have lost touch with the richness of Philippine folk literature due to existence of digital technologies and proliferation of Western influences on television.

In an effort to rekindle the Filipino children’s interest in the richness of Philippine folklore, GMA-7 brings us “Mahiwagang Baul”, a weekly fantasy program that aims to impart good values, propagate better appreciation of the country’s cultural heritage and inculcate national pride among Filipino viewers.   GMA Records and Home Video on the other hand, will compile the episodes and release it on DVD format in different volumes, with the purpose of strengthening Filipino cultural values and reach more generations of Filipino children. DVD contains special features such as episode selections, english subtitles and trailers.
