Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang One Day, Isang Araw |
Ang Mahiwagang Baul (English: The Enchanted Chest) is a Filipino live-action children’s television anthology series retelling popular Philippine myths, legends and folktales. It headlines Eissen bayubay and Sandy Talag as siblings Epoy and Jewel, respectively, and Carme Sanchez as Lola Tacia who also serves as the story teller/narrator. The series was followed by another series called Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang (The Folktales of Grandma Basyang) which followed the same format as Ang Mahiwagang Baul and focused on the classic tales created by Severino Reyes.
Ang Mahiwagang Baul was originally slated for just seven episodes and considered only as filler, but the network awarded several extensions because of impressive viewership ratings and the positive feedback from the viewers.
The show was originally aired weekly on GMA Network from July 17, 2005 to January 28, 2007 with the total of seventy five episodes. It was also aired in GMA Pinoy TV from 2006 to 2007. Reruns of episodes aired on Q from year 2008 to 2010. Q's successor GMA News TV currently airs the reruns of the show since 2011. Some episodes also available on DVD (in three volumes, released on 2007 by GMA Records and Home Videos).
The series is a special program designed specifically to appeal to children. It is a weekly anthology aimed at entertaining children through a retelling of Philippine myths, legends and folklores and seeks to rekindle their interest in the richness of Filipino literature. All the episodes featured live-action twist adaptations of Pinoy folktales in costume by many well-known actors, teleplays by Gina Marissa Tagasa, and are directed by Argel Joseph and Don Michael Perez.
