[Noypi Fansubs] what filipino drama should we sub?

on behalf of NOYPI fansub, i would like to know what filipino drama would you like to be subbed..?

we are a newly formed group of filipino fansubbers.
we would like to have everyone's opinion and vote on our polls.
your votes would count as 50% of the decision we would be making for our next subbing project.

all the drama titles would have a brief summary and its over view as to help you make your choice... thank you so much for your help!

a tiny bit of information about filipino dramas:
filipino dramas or telenovelas are usually aired 5 times a week, every episode is based on a weekly schedule. 30 minute a day including the commercials. it could probably be a 15-20 minute show per day not including the commercial. so every episode would consist approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes but it still depends on the network's management. this is the small glitch in our network, but it's what people look forward to for the prime time shows...

if you want to join our fansubbing group you can send a message to wangbu - mailto:wangbu@supaprends.net
