GMA Alters Super Twins Costume After Blogger Catches Sailormoon Ripoff
Looks like ailing Philippine TV network GMA got spooked when blogger Jepoy Bengero caught them ripping off Sailormoon. They’ve altered the costumes for their upcoming show Super Twins.
No, I’m won’t congratulate GMA on listening to the blogosphere. They should never have ripped off Sailormoon in the first place.
At least now actresses Nadine Samonte and Jennylyn Mercado will not be remembered as wannabe Sailor Senshi rejects. That leaves poor Angel Locsin and Robin Padilla as retarded Lara Croft and Indiana Jones clones in GMA’s other upcoming show, Asian Treasures.
lol :))
i’ve updated the images… mas malinaw na sila
Thanks, Jepoy! Updated.
love you jen! ang ganda mo talaga and sexy!!!! di katulad ng iba dyan ang laki ng bunganga! mwahhhhhhh
This was happening even before we kept insisting that Filipinos were relying more on the Internet than on television. I believe it is caused by the growth of U.S. programming in the Philippines rather than that.
As someone pointed out in another post, Filipinos are poor and have local economies that do poorly against Asian neighbors. That is why more have to work abroad and look for anything that will make them proud, whether it is blogging or boxing.
But such achievements will not be able to provide sufficient livelihood to most. Human capital flight also has incredible costs to those who remain; for example, the PMA reports that the country may soon experience sever crisis due to a shortage of doctors and nurses. And that is taking place in a country where many shortages already take place, from rice to medicine to police men to teachers.
Finally, given a possibly bleak future, with many industrialized countries overproducing and others (like the U.S.) with trillions of dollars in debt, with peak oil, climate change, depletion of natural resources (from sea food to potable water), arms sales increases and threats of war, and many other concerns, both OFW and obsession with the high-tech may soon give way to local concerns.
Nope, still retarded.
actually, ripping sailormoon off was never the plan. i don’t know why they decided to do what they did, but the costume in the filmed teaser was never the costume for the show itself. it did achieve its intended use though, the show is being talked about. because in show business, no news is bad news. (plus, dennis trillo slipped in a message to a fan prior to the teaser being aired. he said that first day of filming was delayed because the costumes weren’t done yet, but they had already filmed the teaser before he sent this message.)
many gma teasers featured costumes that sometimes appear and sometimes don’t in the series. first example is that of encantadia. the teaser costume was of a white flowing gown–which never appeared. then, there’s atlantika where the princesses were supposed to have the same pink/green costumes, that only one of them ended up wearing throughout.
The Root Cause for the Lack of Originality in the Philippine Entertainment Industry…
There is an active discussion in the Philippine blogosphere about GMA 7’s 2007 TV (live-action) series since December 30, 2006, which was first posted here on gameshogun.ws 8:00pm of that day, after which the local blogosphere picked it up.
The dis…
Someone should just shoot the costume designer and be done with it. The alterations did very little to hide the fact that they’re sailormoon rip-offs. I don’t know about the story, but we’re talking about the costumes here.
I’m sure that someone out there can design costumes well enough to fit the story without ripping off someone else’s work.
i dont care what others will say as long as the show will bring good impact on philippine tv that would be great! jennylyn mercado is the best and dont argue with me coz it’s true super true! go jen on your new telefantaserye, i am pretty sure that it would really, absolutely be a hit! with flying ratings!
yeah… the ratings bar for Super Twins on the web sure are flying…

Bravo! It’s ridiculous how GMA thought that they could get away with it. It’s a shame that we have to rely on ideas from our Asian neighbors to come up with ideas for TV shows.
As a Sailormoon fan, I’m in shock. It mangles the original manga and anime. I just hope more fans will speak up.

*grabs popcorn*
wow, i never thought Mike had it in himself to create a “jologs” anti-flamer persona.
penge ulit ng popcorn, jepoy. wala talaga akong pambili ng popcorn eh.
ang galing dalawa..jen at nadine
happy monthsary bhe…luv u
nampota. natawa ako dito ah ^
Sana ni-relate nalang nila sa sailormoon yung story ng sailor twins para hindi nakakailang yung costume…..pwede naman silang makipag-contract (kung papayagan sila). Well, hindi naman masyadong masama yung palabas at costume, maganda pa rin naman kahit papaano.
ang cute2 talaga ni jen..she’s so charming…!the same as nadine..keep up the good work girls!!!
[...] Dominic Zapata, director of GMA’s Sailormoon ripoff Super Twins, deserves a medal from me. People like him accelerate the fall of Philippine TV, much to my delight as a Filipino YouTuber. [...]
ang tatapang talaga ng mga BATA pag nasa harap ng intarnets–a testament to how pathetic their true lives are. oops ba’t ba ako nag comment? i actually gave him the attention he desperately craves for! wow! eto na lang gawin ko, masaya pa:
*grabs popcorn too and watch the hysteric poster get beaten by his dad and raped by his uncles, then claps vigourously at such a wonderful performance*
*yawn*
how childish….
Ang bobo pala ng ibang tao eh, blogs are places to express your mind, huwag niyo na lang pansinin kung nde kayo umaagree sa creator, you can act like that if and only if there is someone aggravated or mali ang infos presented
oh my gosh pwede ba dagdagan nyo ang picture para aliw
WELL WELL WELL! dapat baliktad ang costume ni jen at nadine! agree ba kayo?
Sino masarap sa kanilang dalawa??
@ jepoy: Sino po si Tuxedo Mask dun, si Dennis Trillo? ^_^v I think I saw him in one scene, may parang metal mask ba?
Favorite ko and SUPER TWINS! Lalo na po si Super T. Sana mag-tagal pa ang palabas nila.
hello every body well masasabi ko lang. mas idol ko c nadine samonte kaysa kay jen. kasi mas pormal kasi c nadine in my own opinion
but pareho clang magaling mag act. and sa tingin ko pambata ang show. pati sa custome nila it looks like sailor moon.
@wasabe
I don’t know what I found more profoundly redundant: Your ‘passe’ attempt to make fun of the ‘immature net-izen’ criticizing this blatantly horrid copy of a show or your not so witty come-back as well. Did j00 just get on the internet last month?
@jefflacs
Do I sense jealousy here because there ARE people with blogs who apparently HAVE the capability to influence people’s way of thinking and you cannot? Get your thing on blogs right for once and the truth of the matter is that IT DID COPY, period. Hence why we are voicing off our opinions about it.
‘tards.
lahat ng cast ng super twins good job…..mwah……
huh super twins dahil sa inyo number 1 parin ang gma!!!……yes super duper!!,,,..
lol, such low life flamers…
If you’re serious about doing e-terrorism,
try bringing down this site.
anyways, most local shows are crap.. If I were you just read a book or watch foreign news (local news are crap, GMA news are full of angel locsin and dennis trillo craps while ABS are full of Kris Aquino and PBB craps)
ang galing niyo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super Twins is crap. Let’s watch Super Sentai’s answer to Sailor Moon:
MAHOU SENTAI MAGIRANGER!!!!!
Mike Abundo Rocks!!!!!!!
“Campaign Against Cheap Copycat Rip-Off Programs!”
I want to share something about the rip-off programs
1. Fighting scenes are so obvious and simple
- slow motions are used
2. Powers have no effects and are very plain
- when someone from Encantadia fires a bolt of lightning from another character, you can see she has no wound or something( too unrealistic)
3. The characters are too clean.
- if you are travelling in a long distance and uses the same costumes all day, don’t you have dirty face.
4. The smoking effects are too simple, (so yesterday)
5. GMA uses the same cast (boring)
6. When someone fells from the ground, the character looks like he’s swimming in the air.
7. music is *yawn*
8. The singer is a lamer ( best example is the Lupin) do you know how he repeats the name of the program.
ang ganda ng super twins grabe kaso tapos na eh nakakalongkot kasi tapos na eh kasi idol ko kayo kagagaling niyo ang ganda ng show niyo sana jen gumawa ka pa ng ibang pinikola pareho kyo ni nadine grabe ang ganda niyo mga idol ko kay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To “sandy” , “mark harlam”, “maria angelica”, “Anonymous”, “che che”, “cherryl”, “noreenmarcelo”(real name), “aireen cruz”, “Paulo-san”, “irish”, “Kayka Gayle C. Payumo”(real name) , “Loridel inguillo”(real name), “betty”, and “sirid from paniqui”:
Are you nasty seeders (comment-makers) deny that there’s a rip-off occur in Super Twins, I mean, Super Dweebs? Yeah right, all of you jerks are hard-nosed Kapuso fanatics that needed a slash in the throat, just like direk Dominic Zapata’s fate if he flops his version of Shaider in October!
Why are you denying it, anyway? Are you in favor of the “mga masang mangmang”(classesD, E & F) crowd? That’s how low the Kapuso Network commits copyright infringement and intellectual property.
hahaha mas maganda naman ang super twins kaysa sa rip roff noh super ganda ng supertwins rip roff yuck stink maganda pa ang mga bida eh riff roff ang papagit noh like acarabao
jen at nadine hello sa inyo misss ko na ang super twins
Hoy sirid!!! Anak ng squatter ka!!!! ‘Yan ang hirap sa mga hardcore Kapuso katulad mo! Binabalewala ‘nyo lang ang batikos mula sa mas nakakaalam sa Sailor Stars katulad nila! Napakaignorante mo naman, dahil alam mo (at alam din ng mga kapwa-Kapusong tanga) na nga bawat kontra-komento dito ay parang alam ‘nyo rin na pakawala kami ng Kapamilya, eh, ‘di rin naman sasantuhin ang pinaggagagawa nila! Mag-isip-isip ka nga, sirid! No one has the right to rip-off Sailor Stars’ trademark costume, even if it is altered!
Think you’re still waiting for Super Dweebs Season 2? Not a chance, you Kapuso whore! It won’t happen again!!!! You deserved to be kicked in the head for what you’ve stand for!!!!
1-2-3 Rider Kick!!!!
(Kabuto Rider Form kicks sirid the bat [paniqui] worm in the head)
totoo bng may season 2 to ,what!!!!!!!!!!!!
sana nga may part 2 ang super twins dhil xcited n kming makita ulit cla s knilang magarang costume,sino nman ang ggnap na tin2 e nasa kbila na c elle cruz (hi! ELLA miz k n nmin)
Great… as I said, the Kapuso diehards are useless in these forums of “otaku” level as they simply post unintelligent and outrageous “kabaklaan” and “barbarism.” Wala na ngang masabi e wala pang karapatang magsalita. After all, sino nga ba kayo sa totoong buhay ha? Sa kapal ninyong maghamon ng away parang me sarili kayong gang e… e mukhang maski hinlalaki ko e mas malaki kesa sa mga b**** ninyo mga bwiset kayo. WALANG KARAPATANG MAGPOST ANG MGA TAONG ANG TANGING MAGAGAWANG PANGALAN AY “ANTI-(insert name of principled blogger)” tapos magsasalita ng mga kaegoyang mas malala pa sa mga kickout na Amerikano…
Itong mga ganitong tao ang kahihiyan sa Pilipinas e… sabagay, tama nga lang na GMA ang naging paborito nilang istasyon dahil as of now, GMA ANG PINAKANAKAKAHIYANG ISTASYON SA BUONG PILIPINAS…. save probably a select few sa kanilang news department.
Oh, at huwag niyong sabihing bias ako dahil kahit kelan e hindi ako natuwa sa headlines ng TV Patrol kung saan lagi na lang patayang parang pantabloid ang dating ang mga headline nila.
Gotta love how they always dramatically say “pah-TAAAY!”
Karakuka, Brod Luzanto, Sir Mike: Hinay-hinay lang! Ang puso nyo! Ang puso nyo! Hayaan nyo na lang na magsalita nang magsalita ang mga Put(bleep!)nang yan dahil alalahanin nyo ang English saying:
“The wise ones speak because they have something to say,
The fools speak because they have to say something”
Biruin nyo, hanggang ngayon, ang tagal-tagal ko nang nagpaparticipate sa blogs ni Mr. Abundo, WALA PA RING KA-PUSOD ANG MAGLAKAS LOOB NA KUMONTRA SA MGA STATEMENTS KO DITO LALUNG-LALO NA SA ZAIDO.
Hello Kapusods at sa LAHAAAAT mga retarded children na fanateeks ng mga low-quality shows ng mga local channels! (Pati po yang mga Ka-Patilya) Si Metal Munky po eto! Basahin nyo naman po ng mga comments ko at kahit papa’no kontrahin nyo naman ang mga sinasabi ko. Yan eh kung may utak kayo. I’ll be waiting! Wink! Wink! Ahahahahahahahahah!!!
Sir Mike: Kelan kaya mabo-broadcast ang headline na iniisip ko:
“GMA huli sa lantarang copyright infringement ng TOEI, Star Wars, Star Trek at Sailor Moon: pah-TAY TAYO DYAAAAAN!!!”
Amen Mam MM.
Hanggang ngayon kasi e meron pa ding mga nakikisingit ditong mga Kapuso diehards na pati ba naman si Angel Locsin e pinagpipilitan… (kaya lumipat si Angel Locsin sa kabila kasi kahit papano me class doon; yun nga lang me pagkaelitist naman; di gaya sa mga Kapusod na maiitim e parang pulot sa barberya ng patay…)
Tignan niyo yung article na “GMA teenifies Lupin” ni Sir Mike, basahin niyo mga comments pag di ba naman… nakuu!! mga baklitang ito… o mga kerengkeng… ewan.
(Kaya Karakuka ginamit kong nom de net kasi isa itong “nom de plume” ng isang 1890s Spanish critic na sarcastic at hard-hitting. Me pagkaracist against Pinoys oo, pero he talks with evidence. Alam ko tunog racist ako when I talk about these Kapusod na maiitim diehards, but that’s about it.)
Amen to that, MM!
