Pretty Little Liars Filipino Adaptation

Lately most soap operas in the Philippines are adaptation from the previous soap operas from different country. Popular examples are Maria Mercedes, Asan si Elisa, Coffee Prince, Full House, and of course Marimar these soap operas have been part of our every day lives. In fact most of us got carried away with these soap operas that we tend to hate the antagonists and sympathize with the protagonist. We even talked about it in the morning before we check the news paper, in the toilets with our girl friends, at work when we have our coffee breaks and even in social networks. Soap Operas have been a big part of our evening it's like our day was not complete without them.

Asides from soap operas most Filipinos are also addicted to TV series especially US TV series like Glee, Smash, Grey's Anatomy, Ravenswood, and The Big Bang Theory. Among all these series there is one that really stands out, Pretty Little Liars. Yes a lot of Filipinos specifically Pinays are addicted to Pretty Little Liars because of simple reasons it is very exciting, heart stopping, and mysterious. Not only that the characters are also fashionable. They have their own sense of style that show their personality.


Pretty Little Liars is an original series from ABC Family (TV network in USA) based on the popular novels of Sara Shepard. This series is about 4 girls who has a friend named Allison DeLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse) after a year of disappearance of Allison the 4 girls named Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale), Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario), Hanna Marin (Ashley Benson) and Emily Fields (Shay Mitchel) started receiving messages from a mysterious person named "A" who threatens them to expose their secrets. First they thought it was Allison who is sending them the message but Ali's body was found and they realize that someone else knows their secrets.

Just today I saw on my instagram account that TV 5 got the franchise of Pretty Little Liars which means that there will be a Filipino adaptation of the said series. This is something that we can look forward in 2014. I wonder how can they pull it all together and if it can be as good as the original. This is very exciting I can't wait to see the Filipino adaptation of PLL and of course I am also excited for the Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Winter Premiers which will also air next year. I wonder since TV 5 got the franchise will they be the one who is going to air the continuation of  PLL season 4 or will it still be ETC? I guess it's another thing to look forward in 2014.
