Usage and The First called Fantaserye and Telefantasya The term fantaserye is often used to refer to ABS-CBN's fantasy series. The first official fantaserye was Marina, a series about a girl cursed by a wicked woman to become a mermaid. Telefantasya often refers to the creations of GMA Network. The first telefantasia was Mulawin, a series about a humaniod bird living in a forest and falling in love with a girl who was revealed later in the series as also being a mulawin and they both fight the evil mulawin Ravena. ABS-CBN also tried to reinvent the named of their fantasy TV series like Krystala that they named superserye and Panday as sineserye. However, both are still regarded by many as fantaseryes. // Marina was a ground-breaking 2004 Fantaserye (Philliipine Fantasy series) on ABS-CBN about a little girl, Marina, who becomes a mermaid after being cursed by Victoria, a jealous, vengenece-seeking sea diety in human disguise. ...

History The Fantaserye genre of television has been around even before the word was conceived. Probably the first Filipino Fantaserye could be regarded as "Okey Ka Fairy Ko!1" produced by TAPE, Inc. in 1987 and broadcast originally on IBC Channel 13, moved to ABS-CBN until TAPE Inc. transferred its programs to GMA after its contract expired with ABS-CBN.

"Okey ka, Fairy Ko!" is a story about Taga-Lupa ("Earthling" in English) Vic Sotto who married Engkantada (a fairy) Alice Dixson. They had children who were half-earthlings and half-fairies. The fairy, a princess in her world, had a stern mother (Charito Solis) who visited the neighborhood everyday, criticizing their lifeztyle on earth (sometimes battling with evil from the dark world).

Fantaserye's origins were more rooted towards situational comedy than soap opera (today's fantaseryes and telefantsayas are lined up in evening prime time along with other soap operas), and "Okey ka, Fairy Ko!" is proof of that. The series had a run of about seven years and was aired on one day of the week for about 60 minutes per episode. Other notable series with similar nature are Wansapanataym of ABS CBN and Beh Bote Nga of GMA Network.
Telefatasyas or Fantaseryes need not only depict magical worlds in space, underwater, or somewhere else. They may also depict future settings. Pintados, launched by GMA, could also fall under the same genre. Pintados was about a band of painted warriors (Pintados) with the power to control the elements on a mission to save the world. Nowadays, several titles fall under this genre. However, the most famous fantaseryes or telefantasyas are the ones shown weeknights during Primetime Television. Once a week fantaseryes are also included under the same genre but do not receive as much viewership as the ones shown every weeknight.
Fantaseryes weren't given as much as attention earlier and thus they were usually shown on a once a week basis with each episode running for one to one hour and a half. In 2003 ABS-CBN introduced a new genre of teleserye which mixes soap opera, fantasy, myth, magic and enchantment on a nightly basis. This genre was calledFantaserye on a nightly basis during primetime. The first tele-fantaserye that was shown on primetime TV was officially Darating ang Umaga. However, it was commercially a failure. Fantasy themed TV series have been around for while already in the Philippines prior to the launch of the series Darating ang Umaga although they weren't popular on television. in 2004, ABS-CBN took another risk by showing yet another fantaserye called Marina. Unlike its predecessor, Marina undoubtfully set a benchmark for fantaseryes on television when it garnered consistent high ratings during its entire run. The ratings and audience share of the said fantaserye were even higher than the usual more established teleseryes during primetime. Because of this, the television series Marina was officially the one that popularised the genre fantaserye. Today fantaseryes are the most viewed TV program in the Philippines. Recent surveys by media research firms AC Nielsen and AGB state that fantaseryes have the highest ratings in the evening prime time block.

Although, ABS-CBN started the fantaserye fad, its rival GMA network introduced its own fantasy based series which they called telefantasya which has a similar meaning and nature as a fantaserye. After Marina, ABS-CBN produced latter fantasy based series under a different name but with a similar nature in the hope of saturating the ratings game such as superserye Krystala, sineserye Ang Panday and Super Inggo but never recovered the ratings that its predecessor Marina received. In fact, Panday sufferred both tremendous financial and ratings loss that ABS-CBN decided that they would go back to their strengths, the teleserye shows. On the other hand, rival GMA network started their telefantasya run during primetime with Marinara and the ratings winner Mulawin. Subsequently, it produced latter telefantasya series and proved to be a consistent winner in ratings during Primetime. Because of this, GMA network has decided to focus on producing telefantasya shows as they dominate the primetime ratings game. As of 2006, GMA network has constantly won ratings on primetime block with its numerous telefantasya in Mega Manila as oppossed to ABS-CBN reviving to the Teleserye which they have always been excellent at.

Ratings Telefantasyas and Fantaseryes today can be arguably described as the most awaited part of the evening prime time blocks of GMA and ABS-CBN. Recent surveys by media research firms AC Nielsen and AGB state that these telefatasyas have the highest ratings in the evening prime time block.
Criticisms Against the New Wave of Fantaseryes
Values Formation A TV-magazine show's episode on November 5, 2005 pointed out that Fantaseryes have a negative effect on the young children because they cannot clearly mark the borderline between reality and fantasy.
Also in this line, the themes of the telefantasyas often feature battles between two factions: good and evil. Although the good and evil parts of the battle are clearly marked, people, especially the children emphasize more on the fights rather than the victory of good over evil. The children imitate the fights scenes and thus inculcate them in their lives. Conservatives have always critiqued the showing of violence on television as detrimental to the children's values.
Social Constructionism The theory of Social Constructionism is often used as defense by the critics not just of Fantaseryes, but of the television as a postmodern invention. This theory, by Peter Berger and Thomas Luckman in the 1960s suggests that reality is constructed by the society in general, and individually, by the people who interpret and perceive reality. Social constructionism or social constructivism is a sociological theory of knowledge that considers how social phenomena develop in particular social contexts. ...
The term Postmodernism (sometimes abbreviated Pomo[1]) was coined in 1949 to describe a dissatisfaction with modern architecture, founding the postmodern architecture. ...
Peter Ludwig Berger (born March 17, 1929) is an American sociologist well known for his work The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge (New York, 1966). ...
The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. ...
In this case, television forms a reality in the minds of the people, specifically, as an "ideal" world on where to live in. The people perceive it and then in turn form the notion that "this is how life should be." This happens, when, in fact, it should not be, because the television is not the reality but life is the ultimate reality.
