Encantadia vs Ang Probinsiyano: Which soared higher?

GMA-7’s epic telefantasya Encantadia has been highly anticipated by fans since it first aired in 2005. Now, its remake, is back on the primetime block of Kapuso network.

The pilot episode aired on July 18 at 7:45 pm, replacing the comedy drama Poor Senorita. It was pitted against Ang Probinsyano of ABS-CBN, whose lead star is Coco Martin.

The tension-filled episode of Ang Probinsyano showed the tragic past of Police Insp. Hector Mercurio (played by Cesar Montano). In the scene, the death of Hector’s wife was shown, where she was shot in the crossfire between the police and the rebels. Because of this, Hector developed an aversion and hatred for his fellow officers for preventing him from joining the mission. He gave up his badge and became a hitman because of this.

At the end of the episode (#FPJAPUltimatum), Cardo’s (Coco Martin) grandfather Delfin, played by Jaime Fabregas, was shot by a hitman during his surprise birthday celebration.

Meanwhile, Encantadia’s first episode revealed the history of Encantadia and how the ‘Inang Brilyante’ was divided into four elemental gems of fire, wind, water, and earth by Cassiopeia. It also introduced new characters: Adhara (Sunshine Dizon) and Amihan (Max Collins).

The remake is directed by Mark Reyes and the main cast is composed of Kylie Padilla, Gabbi Garcia, Sanya Lopez, and Glaiza de Castro—the four Sang’gres. They were not yet featured on the pilot episode but viewers were able to see Marian Rivera as Ynang Reyna Mina-a, Dingdong Dantes (Raquim), Rocco Nacino (Aquil), John Arcilla (Hagorn), Solenn Heussaff (Cassiopeia), among others.
