Today, the 50th episode of Etheria ends in order to begin a new chapter in the world of Encantadia. Etheria (from the word ether, the fifth element) was the 5th kingdom of Encantadia. Its goddess was Ether, who fell in love with Arde, a fellow god - a forbidden relationship. For that reason, they was punished by the god Emre. Ether was transformed into a snake; Arde, into a dragon. Ether, being powerful, was worshiped by the citizens of Encantadia. Such adoration gave birth to the Kingdom of Etheria. Emre, Ether, and Arde were not actually from Encantadia. They were banished from their own world - the world of gods. During a war between the good and revolutionary angels, these three gods sided neither with the good nor the revolutionary. They preferred to be allies of either camp which was not acceptable to the government of gods. For that reason, the minister of the angels banished them from the spiritual world and sent them to Encantadia - a spiritual world on earth. Lured by selfish...

About the Show :: Etheria - Ang Ikalimang Kaharian ng Encantadia (The Fifth Kingdom of Encantadia) :: This is so far the most sophisticate, most elaborate, and most expensive production ever made on TV. GMA Network has made TV viewing intelligently entertaining.

If you've been hearing about Etheria in the Philippines , it's not too late yet to begin where it started. "Etheria" is the most sophisticate, big-budgeted production that TV has ever produced so far. It is a collaboration of a TV network, a pool of young and professional creative writers, an internationally known production designer with his team or artists, and two well-respected movie directors who were all challenged to bring quality TV to the mass audiences. Power packed with a cast of popular actors and actresses, watching Etheria is like watching a movie in a smaller screen. But Etheria did not start in Etheria. Etheria is a prequel-sequel of Encantandia. Sounds conflicting? It is because Etheria in Encantadia boasts of complex twists that if you ever missed a chapter, like the Etherian Kingdom , you will be lost. So, for those who were not able to see its beginning, the history of Etheria follows. It all started in "Mulawin" - an accidental hit s...

I was awaken late in the morning, about 10:00 AM, by the sound of TV in our living room. From my bedroom, I could hear the words "stampede" and "rescue". Something must have happened wrong somewhere, I thought. After a quick prayer, I rushed outside from my room, saw on TV dead bodies laid on the street. There was a woman who was wailing. Perhaps, it was her mother who died. I also saw a father with his son, both crying beside the lifeless body of his wife and his mother. The next day, in the newspaper, the picture of a young man weeping while clutching the head of his dead mother caught my attention. All of a sudden, time seemed to stop. Quickly, I felt that there was something knifing my heart into a deep wound that hasn't healed yet. I felt again the pain the day my mother died. I was beside my mother when she died. I, too, wailed while I clutched her head and kissed her face every now and then. It was like a big part of myself left the world for no reason at...
