Voltes V: Legacy - An Epic Ride TV Series Adaptation by GMA Network

This is a Voltes V Legacy pre-release TV Series review.
Voltes V: Legacy - An Epic Ride TV Series Adaptation by GMA Network

GMA Network is making a TV adaptation series of the famous anime classic Voltes-V.

The adaptation is titled Voltes-V Legacy and is set to be released anytime in the Year 2022. For someone who grew up watching the anime version, this looks wildly exciting. Finally, we will get to see the hero robot once again protecting the Earth and defeating bad guys. Voltes-V Legacy also has a Filipino cast which adds more thrill to the excitement. 

But, as excited as I am, a small portion of thought remains in my mind that this may be another disappointment. Voltes-V Legacy can either be an epic ride or just a repeat of Victor Magtanngol. For the past two decades, GMA Network has not seemed to invest in quality Computer Generated (CG) Effects. Notably the famous snake scene of Victor Magtanngol among many others. Aside from the poor CG Effect, we should also look out for inappropriate make-up. A very common example of this is a “wasteland: type of scene, but the actors are powdered as if they are attending a wedding. And finally, depressing fight scenes choreography led by the shaking of the camera. I’m not sure who started that idea, but he must know that shaking of the camera makes an action scene look like a comedy skit.

CG Effects, Make-up, and Realistic fights are only three important factors that should be present in GMA Network’s Voltes-V Legacy TV Series adaptation. This will sort off redeem themselves from the past epic failures of their fantasy-themed TV-Series. Poor execution of these important factors of a TV Adaptation of Voltes-V by GMA Network degrades the value of the film, and at some point shames the creator's legacy.

But overall, I am excited to watch Voltes-V Legacy in any of the timeslots of GMA Network. The TV adaptation is an important step towards making high-quality series for the audience. This quick shift may finally end the saga of drama during primetime and challenge Philippine TV Network to explore other genres of film. Voltes-V Legacy is indeed a series to watch out for as it is a nostalgic gift to the grown-ups that miss the hero robot.


But until it will be released and be judged for, we just hope that the Voltes-V Legacy of GMA Network is as good as its YouTube trailer.

System Loss Charges | Is it Real, Or a Pathetic Excuse to Make Money?

Image
What is System Loss Charge of your Electric Bill? Recently, a friend posted a question on Facebook asking why she has “System Loss” charges in her electric bill. And I responded and explained to her why we are slapped with these charges from our Electricity Distribution Utility. And in this article, I’ll share why there is a “system loss” charge in our electricity bill.  And to be clear, the article only talks about electricity in the Philippines. So what is the System Loss charge? There are two major components of the power system that produce system loss. First is the transmission line, and second the transformer. When electricity passes through a transmission line, it creates the loss referred to as copper loss. And when electricity also passes through the conductor of a transformer core, it creates what we call core loss.  So, the two system losses are core and copper loss. And from the term itself, these two are wasted power, or power that was produced but not consumed or sold by

The Simala Church - The Castle Near the Heavens

  The Simala Church - The Castle Near the Heavens The Simala Church It was close to 8-years ago since I last visited the Simala Church. I was happy that I was able to make the trip to Simala this week, and I was surprised to see a lot of changes. The church made huge renovations and I can notice more vendors now compared to before. The traditional sellers of bracelets, rosaries, and miracle water are still there. While the younger generation of vendors are selling tourist souvenir items. For those who are not familiar, Simala Church is a church in Sibonga, owned and operated by the Marian Monks of Eucharistic Adoration (MMEA), and its main patron saint is Mama Mary. It is famous among Catholics because of the countless miracles it offered, and the letter testimonies of these encounters are exhibited inside its halls. But, over the years, the visit to the Simala Shrine has not been exclusive to religious intents and is more like tourism. And in my recent visit, I have two observations t
