if it’s not for the rotating blackout, i would not miss a single daily dose of my current primetime favorites: ABS-CBN’s remake of the popular Mexican telenovela Rubi, and the first ever “kantaserye” in the history of Solar System Television, Diva.

RUBI

i remember back then that Rubi was a hit. but even back then, i was not really paying attention to that said telenovela from Mexico (prolly because i was not into ABS-CBN much before or that i already have a life back then lol). but the remake really made check the clock and see if it is already on the TV.

hands down, Angelica  fits the role. although it would have been better (or not) if they slated Angel Locsin to play the role of the conniving and ruthless gold digger. but Angelica is a safe choice and a good ingenue nevertheless. also starring are Shaina Magdayao, Diether Ocampo, Jake Cuenca, and Ms. Cherie Gil among others…

DIVA

as for GMA-7, i also like their newest offering. a breath of fresh air

the first “Kantaserye” (it sounds really funny, sorry), Diva is a story of three singers with different personalities: The Wannabe (played by Rufa Mae), The Rival (played by Glaiza de Castro), and The Anything But…. (played by Regine Velasquez).

never really a big fan of Regine, but I find this series really promising. plus Rufa Mae. yeesss….

also starring are TJ Trinidad, Buboy Garuvilyo(spelling?), Mark Anthony Fernandez, Jaya, and Ms. Gloria Diaz among others.

now these two are worth watching. so stop the network wars crap and support Philippine Television instead!
