‘True Manila Encounters’ to premiere Oct. 29 on iWant

Horror anthology “True Manila Encounters” inspired by “#TrueManilaEncounters” online will premiere on iWant on October 29. 

The pilot episode will be led by Xyriel Manabat, Karina Bautista, as well as FINA members Cia and Heaven.

“It is called ‘Undressed’ and the plot here is we basically buy from an ukay shop, the three of us… What they bought doon na mag-unravel ano masamang spirits na sumama,” Bautista said.

The episode will mark Heaven and Cia’s series debut.

“Dream role namin masama for a horror series. Honored kami,” Cia said.

“Natakot po ako sa script po kasi it is based on a true story,” Heaven added.

“True Manila Encounters” will feature six episodes with different formats of horror.

For instance, Episode 2 led by Kaori Oinuma and Elyson de Dios, will delve on an alien encounter.

“Si Ana meron siyang strange experiences, memory losses and time lapses, hindi niya na alam kung ano ‘yung reality ng nangyare sa kanya. Until one day may presence na siyang nararamdaman na sumusunod sa kanya — pero hindi niya nakikita,” Oinuma said.

“Kakaiba siya. Hindi mo paniwalaan agad na totoong nangyari,” De Dios added.

Episode 2 will be streaming on iWant in November.
