Why Teleseryes are worthy of being called world-class entertainment?

Teleseryes are, for a long time, part of the Philippine Culture and one of the most important cultural exports of the Philippines that help put it on the world map.The fantasy series such as Enchantadia, Mulawin, and Bagani are multi-billion dollar franchises with fans all across the globe and the actors, actresses, and love teams has the same brand recognition as any other Hollywood celebrity. not to mention, their covers If you're still skeptical, then I would give you a brief history of how Teleseryes came to be and why I consider them world-class entertainment.

It all started when the first radio soap opera, Gulong ng Palad, aired on the radio in 1949. When television came to the Philippines, The soap opera genre made their mark with Hiwaga sa Bahay na Bato(The Magic Stone House) produced by ABS-CBN in 1963, which was then followed by Prinsipe Amante(Prince Amante), Larawan ng Pag-Ibig(Picture of Love) and many more.

In the 80s, when ABS-CBN was still closed down, RPN-9 and GMA-7 were the leading two networks who battle it out for ratings supremact with RPN producing beloved classics such as Flordeluna starring Janice De Belen and GMA countering this with Anna Liza starring Janice de Belen's rival, Julie Vega.despite both child stars being friends offscreen. Anna Liza would be cancelled in 1985 due to Julie Vega's sudden death and as a result, had an unfinished storyline and a two-hour special aired to tie up loose ends aired a year later.

Once the EDSA Revolution ousted Marcos in 1986, ABS-CBN returned to the airwaves and regained its dominance it once had enjoyed by the end of the decade, By the 90's, however. The Philippines would experience one craze that would influence future Philippine soap operas to come, the Telenovela Craze, which began with the airing of Maria Mercedes on ABS-CBN and Marimar on RPN-9, and networks began to reschedule locally-made Telenovelas into the primetime slot to encourage more viewers to watch them and for advertisers to invest on it. at the same time, soap operas supplanted sitcoms (both in number of shows produced and in nationwide audience ratings) as the most dominant form of primetime entertainment in the Philippines

The 2000s saw the rise of the Asianovela, first with Taiwanese and Chinese dramas such as Meteor Garden then with the Korean dramas such as Dae Jang Geum, Boys over Flowers, Lovers In Paris and many other. with each craze, the soap opera industry learned from them and used it to improve the soap operas until now.

The soap opera genre here has come a long way and many quality dramas have been made by the networks through the likes of ABS-CBN's Ang Probinsyano and GMA's Alyas Robin Hood, which, contray to popular belief, is not a ripp-off of CW's Arrow. It's high production value, cinematography, and fresh storylines keep people glued to their seats and made the Philippines a number two exporter of TV series after the United States. Philippine Soap Operas have a bright future ahead as new and original soaps are being made and aired by the networks and exported and loved the world over.

P.S.: This is just my April Fool's post for April Fool's Day and please don't take this seriously, it's just for fun and I actually consider my country's TV series as thrash.
