It's quite baffling why most, if not all, of the new program being launched by ABS-CBN seem to be outright copies of GMA-7 shows. For instance, ABS-CBN’s singing competition "Star in a Million" is obviously taken from GMA’s "Search for a Star," which was titled "Star for a Night" prior to its move to the Kapuso Network. Then there’s GMA’s first-ever reality-based "artista" search "Starstruck," which started its massive auditions in August and premiered on October 27.

Just a few days ago, ABS-CBN started openly announcing the launch of "Star Circle Quest," which also auditioned young Filipinos who dream of becoming stars. Rumors have it that "Star Circle Quest" has the exact same format as GMA’s "Starstruck." Moreover, the young star tapped to host "Star Circle Quest" is no other than Luis "Lucky" Manzano, who was originally chosen by GMA to co-host "Starstruck" with Nancy Castiglione.

GMA’s newest teledrama "Twin Hearts," which was initially rediculed for having an English title amidst a local crop of soap operas bannering the titles of Tagalog songs, has again set the trend as ABS-CBN is said to be cooking up a new telerserye to be top-billed by John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo, entitled "Broken Vow." The same goes with GMA’s "Love 2 Love," the first twin-bill series on local TV. Its impressive launch bumped off rival "Tabing Ilog" in the ratings game. Rumors have it that ABS-CBN will soon come up with another twin-bill series entitled "My First Romance" to pit against GMA’s "Love 2 Love."

And now that GMA has imported an international star (Argentinian actor Segundo Cernadas) to star in its upcoming soap opera, ABS-CBN is said to be following suit. They are reportedly negotiating to have Barbie Xu ("Meteor Garden"’s Shan Cai) to star opposite Piolo Pascual or any of the F4 guys to be paired off with Claudine Barretto in a drama series.

The list of other GMA shows copied by ABS-CBN goes way back to the GMA programs "Spotlight" (imitated by ABS-CBN’s "Star Drama Presents"), "Wish Ko Lang" (the same format used by ABS-CBN’s "Willingly Yours") and "I-Witness (the basis for ABS-CBN’s "Correspondents"). The perennial questions remains: What happened to ABS-CBN’s think tank? Has it gone dry or is the said no. 1 network resorting to merely being the no. 1 copycat?


Sa tingin ko matatahimik ka na ngayon!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
