I haven't seen any fictional show like this before.. The Asian Treasures, a show made by GMA 7 is presently having phenomenal Metro Manila ratings - parallel with the ratings of former fantasy shows of GMA like Mulawin, Darna and Encantadia.. But these past few days, the episodes are getting too commercial for me.. First, Meagan Young spent like 20 seconds on the seen where she's loading her phone up using Talk n' Text... The same happened when Ella V. ordered a kid to load up using Talk n' Text and the most recently, Marvin said a line saying "Di ka kasi Smart!!!" [in English: "That's because you're not a Smart subscriber!!!]. Don't you think it's being to obvious... And in fact funny.. I dont mean to say it's bad and negative... This is just an observation.. What do you think?????? B-)

right! too commercial. i've been trying to catch their show since deal or no deal went off air. i saw the ella v. skit.... wasn't too impressed though. i dont think they should use these dramas as avenues for marketing (but if reduces the cost then go ahead!). saw something like that in channel 2 too, show was maging sino and it was john lloyd offering biogesic to chin-chin. so it's all over already, just have to live with the commercials not coming after scenes, but IN the scenes themselves

yes I also watch ASIAN TREASURES but that's their marketing strategy to get more attention from the receiver...they earn through majority reactions...if you watch and talked about them then it means that the marketing is effective because more people reacted...

i've rather watch other programs in tv than watching this show.it has no originality at all.this program is a mixture of different movies from abroad,obviously it has a similarities on those film like indiana jones,tomb rider and national treasure.they copy even the style and the headings of a certain film.commercial,i think they only practice their own right to gain profit from it,commercials and promos are common for a show like this.

hahaaahha.. i think you observation is valid. but you know how business works. the companies somehow wants to be exposed to the maximum. it may sound hard sell.. but as long as it doesnt destroy the concept of the program.. that can be excused. anyways, everything now is too commercialized i guess.

you're really a keen observer huh? that's good. small details like that can help a lot. well thanks for the shared knowledge but it seems that even you criticize them, you still watch their soap right?
