Soap Operas*
Philippinedrama, notably called teleserye and/or telenovela in television is a form
of melodramatic serialized fiction produced and aired in the Philippines. It rooted
from two words tele, short for television, and serye, a Tagalog term for series.
Teleserye is now used as the generic term for most Filipino soap operas on
television. Prior to this, Filipino soap operas were called either telenovelas (and still
referred to as such) and soap operas.
A popular plot of a teleserye is a love story between two different individuals, a rich
individual who falls in-love with the poor individual, who are often separated by illfate. Their romance is often contradicted by the parents, relatives, or a third party.
Another popular storyline of teleseryes is the search of a parent for their child or
vice versa. The story usually begins with the child being separated from the family
at birth or at childhood due to some unforeseen circumstances. Sometimes, the
protagonist is exchanged and thus will suffer a miserable life.
Teleseryes usually focus on love, betrayal, jealousy, social status, and revenge
between characters. It is usually their family history and relationships that affect the
later generation.
