It is not new to hear from Filipino students how historical subjects can make them doze off. From numerous names to events that occurred during unfamiliar times, these really send some to sleep. With younger generations losing interest in this country’s roots, GMA Entertainment Group revives the languishing Filipino spirit with their historical fantasy series reimagining Jose Rizal’s famous novels Noli Me Tángere and El Filibusterismo. With its success, the contemporary take does not just invite the young audiences to revisit history, it also significantly mirrors the current state of the country.
