Protégé Cast In A Glee-Like Project?

If I were GMA Network, I would cast the 10 Protégé in a Glee-like project immediately after the finals of Protégé. The project should be a funny and warm musical drama aired only once a week for one season taking either the Saturday or Sunday slot. The musical drama series should not be the typical soap with annoying, repeating plots like:
  • Mother loses child; child looks for mother
  • Someone is killed; somebody takes revenge
  • Kid is kidnapped; then there's an explosion
  • Amnesia, murder, guns, amnesia, murder, guns .... and never ending amnesia, murder, guns
Are Filipino writers running out of creativity? Filipino writers should study the success of Glee. Light drama, subtle acting, with sense of humor, and simple plots made heart-warming.

Let it be called "Play"

Here's a suggestion. Name the musical drama series "Play". It's about the lives of young theater actors. It's a drama on stage, backstage, and back home. Tackle ordinary day-to-day subjects like:

  • ambition, goal setting
  • practice makes perfect
  • success and failures
  • misunderstanding
  • struggles and disappointment
  • sensibility
  • being positive
Forget about violence. No guns, no kidnapping, no killing, no over-acting bitchy women. Let there be change in what the audience watch.

Dyesebel Learns the Truth

Week 2 Episodes The next episodes after the first week were not as exciting as the first few days. In a few words, I can give you the synopsis. Dyesebel was able to save Fredo and hid him inside a cave. Bukanding (Paolo Ballesteros), her foster brother, persuaded her to go home for fear of the queen's punishment. Back to the cave, they found out that Fredo was bitten by a sea snake. Dyesebel left to look for cure. While she was gone, Berbola found Fredo inside the cave. She, too, fell in love with Fredo. In Sireneya, the queen learned about mermaids swimming up to the shore (which is forbidden). The queen had them hunted. Erebus (Alfred Vargas) warned Dyesebel and Bukanding that they were able to leave the cave and went to a shore where Fredo recovered. Berbola pointed at Dyesebel as the mermaid who violated the law. Dyesebel was sentenced to death; but Erebus told the queen that Berbula, too, was guilty of the same crime. The queen could not sentence her daughter Berbula to death....
