Entertainment: Philippines

Do Filipinos know the early days of Philippine TV Entertainment? There are 3 stations that provide entertainment, it can be Game Shows, Noon Time Shows, Cartoons, Drama/Actions, and even News. Yes, I really love watching TV. This hobby makes me happy everyday, especially when I'm bored.

I usually watch local shows. Me and my family are only attached to one station, and it was GMA 7. Because GMA was entertaining when it comes to their shows. They are complete with their entertainment techniques, and they know what the Filipino wants/tastes in any shows. They always have new style and making new trends. Actually, I don't know more about the other stations, but all I know is, the shows of the other station are copying the style of GMA. 

Why I choose the network of GMA? Is there any connections with Korean Dramas? Besides of watching local shows, I am attracted into Korean things, like, songs and dramas.

Philippine TV, let's say the two stations, GMA and ABS-CBN, aired Korean Dramas. And that's why Filipinos now are influenced by Korean culture. The first Korean Drama I watched is Jewel in the Palace which GMA aired. That was the time I'm attached to Korean dramas.

Before I totally forget, What is Philippine Drama? What is Entertainment?

According to Wikipedia. Philippine drama (also known as teleserye , teledrama , and P-drama) is a television form of melodramatic serialized fiction. It is rooted from two words: "tele", which is short for "television," and "serye", a Tagalog term for "series" and "drama" for drama.

Entertainment is an action, event or activity that aims to entertain, amuse and interest an audience ("audience" can consist of one or more people). The audience may have a passive role, as in the case of persons watching a play or opera, a television show or a movie, or active, as in the case of a video game.

Entertainment in the Philippines has greatly gained advantage by the television and cinemas. It can be noticed that every day, there are so many people attached to their TV just to get their daily happiness of entertainment. In effect, it is clear that the everyday lives of all Filipinos are influenced by TV shows and TV personalities.

Aside from that, some Filipinos entertain themselves by watching films produced both locally and Korean. Because Philippine TV aired Korean dramas many times, directors and producers in the Philippines do their best in order to have a unique and touching film concept that will capture the hearts of many Filipinos. That's why they come up to the idea of having a Filipino version of Korean dramas.

I can say that, Korean dramas really influenced the Philippine TV to make their series popular with us. And most Filipinos are really attached to Korean culture. That is why some Philippine TV decided to have their own version of Korean dramas.
