Enca

Setting
According to Mark Reyes, the sets of Encantadia in 2005 are located in various places in
the Philippines. The Kingdom of Adamya is located at Calatagan, Batangas.[12] The cave set of
Hathorian Kingdom is located at the Kalinawan Cave in Tanay, Rizal. Lireo's forest is located at
Daranak Falls and Batlag Falls in Rizal.[12] A 1,900 square meter warehouse in Pasig City served as
an indoor set with an improvised pond.[12] The said warehouse was also a setting change for Lireo,
Sapiro, Hera Andal, Hera Sensa and others. The Kingdom of Sapiro set is located inside the historic
walled city of Intramuros (Old Manila) in the heart of Manila.[12] In its second and third installment, the
series used the same locations.
In 2016, a 3000 square meter warehouse in Makati City was converted to a set for the Lireo
Kingdom and its forest.[26] The fallen Sapiro Kingdom and the Island of Cassiopeia were shot
in Fortune Island in Batangas. Another warehouse set was converted as the Kingdom of Hathoria,
while the mortal world were shot in various locations around Manila.[27]The forest of Encantadia were
shot in Tanay, Rizal, Pundaquit in Zambales as well as Batlag Falls and Daranak Falls. [28]
Musical scoring
The main theme of the series is its own soundtrack titled "Tadhana"(destiny) described as
a chant/hymn, composed and sung by Filipino folk singer Bayang Barrios.[16][29]According to Barrios,
when she arrived in the recording studio, the hymn structure was already done by Allan Feliciano.
The chant's theme is inspired by a drought and deforestation. One of the factors that contributed to
the success of the 2005 series is its musical scoring, it was highly commended in the 2005 Asian
Television Awards for "Best Original Music Score".[18]In the sequel, Etheria, aside from "Tadhana",
Feliciano also arranged a soundtrack titled as "Hade!!" (to attack) which refer as the Etherian war
song; sung also by Barrios. Unlike "Tadhana", it is a lyrical song formed in Enchanta. Based on the
lyrics, the song is about the creation of Encantadia, the five kingdoms including Etheria, and warfare.
In the end, the composer appears to question the unending violence in the land including the lack of
love and peace.[30]Sub-tracks were also included in the series such as "Asshenti", an Etherian love
song sung by Barrios and the Lirean Hymn, "Ivo"(life) arranged by Ariel Hugo, which was sung
by Karylle. In the 2016 series, it uses the main soundtrack "Tadhana", which was modernized and
beat has been altered to a rock-twist to fit the new generation.[16]Moreover, "Ivo" was also used as
recorded by Gabbi Garcia.[20]
"Ang Mahiwagang Puso" (Enchanted Heart) written by Tats Faustino, sung by Karylle and Jerome
John Hughes was used as a soundtrack to the original version of the series. [31]Karylle also
recorded "Hiling" (Wish) but was rarely used in the series. "Pangarap ni Lira" (Lira's wish),
composed by Suzette Doctolero, arranged by Eric Torralba and sung by Jennylyn Mercado was also
part of the soundtrack.[22]Other soundtracks include "Isang Bagong Mundo" (A whole new world)
performed by Jennylyn Mercado, arranged by Eric Torralba and written by Suzette Doctolero; "Sa
Pakpak ng Paru-paro" (Fairy's Wings) composed by Mark A. Reyes and arranged by Eric Torralba. [22]
"Maghihintay Ako" (I'll Be Waiting), sung by Gabbi Garcia and Christian Bautista and "Sa Pangarap
Lang" (Through a Dream) sung by Mikee Quintos are being used in the 2016 series. [32][33]Mikee
Quintos also recorded "Ang Awit ni Lira" (Lira's Hymn) for the requel.[34]
Overview
Encantadia is an enchanted place in a different realm. All of the characters existing in this world are
called Encantados. It was discovered and created thousand years ago by five supernatural beings,
Haliya, Arde, Emre, Keros and Ether who were referred to as bathala(Gods on the present times.
[35]
The world they created was settled upon by low-class working individuals called "barbaro".
Because of this, the three Bathala created four classes of individuals: the diwata's (fairies of Lireo
Kingdom; mystical creatures of the Adamya Kingdom; the healers called sapiryans of the Sapiro
Kingdom and the blacksmiths of the Hathoria Kingdom.[36] The four kingdoms promised allegiance
and worship to Emre, which caused Arde and Ether's jealousy and hatred, resulting to a plan to
assassinate him.[35][37] Emre discovered this plan and cursed both of them: Arde to become
a dragon who was sent to guard valaak(hell) and Ether to turn into snake to forever remind her of
being a traitor.[37] With this, the encantados are divided between the gods resulting to factions.
[37]
Some encantados followed Ether and established the fifth Kingdom of Encantadia called, Etheria,
which had later fallen due to the greed of their Queen Avria to conquer the whole Encantadia
causing the rest to unite against their Kingdom.[37]

Encantadia. She has a relationship with Arde.

The Gems
Main article: Brilyante (Encantadia)
The world of Encantadia is being powered and guarded by a powerful gem referred as Inang
Brilyante (mother gem) protected by Cassiopeia, the first Queen of Lireo.[47] The gem has powerful
characteristics and abilities, and is considered as the most powerful weapon of Encantadia. [48] With
this, it is being sought by greedy encantados driving Cassiopeia to break it into four elemental gems
that hold balance to the realm: fire, air, water and earth. [48] She later handed them to the four
kingdoms of Encantadia. King Arvak of Hathoria wanted to acquire all gems, starting a rebellion
leading to the Great Encantadian War wherein he was killed. Prince Raquim of Sapiro was able to
recover the fire and water gem from King Arvak, and decided to bring the two gems and the Sapiro's
earth gem to Lireo for safekeeping.[47] Since then, the four powerful gems are guarded by the Queen
of Lireo who then handed them to her four offsprings: Pirena, the keeper of the fire gem; Amihan for
the air gem, and Alena and Danaya for the water and earth gem respectively.[47] On the 2016 series,
a fifth gem was introduced as a result of Cassiopeia's intense breakage of the mother gem, which
propelled to the sea shore wherein a lost mortal became the keeper.[49][50]
Fire Gem (Brilyante ng Apoy) The gem grants its owner the power to
control fire, warmth and light. In this sense, the beholder can intensify sunlight and conjure fire.
This gem has the ability of shapeshifting into another person. It can also create volcanic
eruptions.[51]
Air Gem (Brilyante ng Hangin) The gem grants its owner the power to control
the air, wind and coldness. In this sense, the beholder can change air currents,
conjure oxygen in areas without it and transform into the air itself. It also grants the holder the
ability to fly and shapeshift into wind. The gem can also be employed in detecting the presence
of nearby beings by tracing the sound of their breaths.[51]
Water Gem (Brilyante ng Tubig) The gem grants its keeper the power to control water. It
enhances its keeper's strength and enables the person to control biosonar, liquids and sea
creatures. It also enables its keeper to summon rain and portray an image through water.[51]
Earth Gem (Brilyante ng Lupa) The gem grants its owner earth-based powers, enabling the
person to control the earth, vegetation and nature. In this sense, the beholder can
conjure earthquakes, communicate with plants and animals, shapeshift into any flora and
fauna and heal herself. Without the presence of the gem of earth, plants would wilt, animals
would die, and beings in Encantadia would weaken. [51]
Spirit Gem (Brilyante ng Diwa) - In the 2016 series, a fifth gem, also called Brilyante ng
Diwa (Gem of Spirit) was introduced as a result of a fragment from Cassiopeia's intense
breakage of the Mother gem. Its powers and abilities are all the abilities of the four gemstone. [52]
Life Gem (Brilyante ng Lila) - Also in the 2016 series, a sixth gem Brilyante ng
Lila (Gemstone of Life) was also introduced, a cube shaped amethyst used by Emre to tempt
Lira with power, alongside with riches. He said that the sixth gem has equal power to the first
five gems. It has the power of balance of nature. The first five gems are to create and maintain,
the final gem is for destruction. Its powers is to balance all the works (the opposite) of all the
other gems. Lira declined the gem and was kept until now by Emre. This gem is not part of the
Inang Brilyante (Mother Gem).
Enchanta
Main article: Enchanta
Encantadia uses a fictional language called Enchanta.[53] It was created and conceptualized
by Suzette Doctolero to make the viewers feel that the world of Encantados be somehow realistic
and genuine. Doctolero created its vocabulary from many Indo-European languages with some
influences of Philippine languages especially Tagalog.[54] It can be traced from words like "corre", to
love (from the root "cor" meaning heart) and "avoya", to travel (voyage).[54] The language is also
notable of being spoken as it sounds like its from some kind of European country because of the
tone and the phonotactics.[54] Most characters from the Encantadia saga know how to speak
Enchanta, but it was Cassiopeia that had spoken the language most in the whole series, from the
fact that she is the first diwata (fairy) of Lireo and ancestor of all the royal-blooded diwatas. [53][55]

the Great Encantadian War. After Etheria had fallen, Avria swore that Etheria would return to power
once the last Sang'gre is born. The prophecy was then fulfilled due to the birth of Cassandra. Etheria

gain power and rule over the whole continent. Later, King Arvak was killed by a Sapirian warrior
named Asval but before he died, prince Raquim of Sapiro claimed the Gemstones of Water, Earth
and Fire from him and handed them to the Queen of Lireo for safekeeping. The four gems have not
been separated since. Two Thousand years have passed and the story unfolds in Lireo, where
Queen Mine-a chose her successor from her daughters Pirena, Amihan, Alena and Danaya because
they feel imminent danger lurking, and as the gods called her to Devas (the world of the dead), she
has to leave the kingdom of Lireo in good and capable hands. She put her daughters to the test to
see their capabilities and know who is best fit to be the next queen. Mine-a chose and crowned
Amihan, which to Pirena's dismay, led to her rebellion and the onset of the so-called War of the four
Gems. The chain of events that transpired made way for the separation of the gemstones. Pirena,
after having stolen the gemstone of fire, sided with the Hathors and gave them back the power
they've lost.Pirena then fools her sisters and ruled over Lireo, she bore a daughter named Mira while
Amihan bore Lira who then took refuge in the mortal world. There were numerous times Ether

evelopment
Encantadia is a term coined from the Filipino words "enkanto", "enkanta", "enkantada", or
"enkantado" (which was in turn derived from the Spanish term encant(ad){o/a}) which means
enchanted beings endowed with supernatural powers.[3] The series was created by GMA Network,
the same network that produced the fantasy-themed series Mulawin and Darna. It was directed
by Mark Reyes and Gil Tejada, Jr., and written by Suzette Doctolero.[4][5] Originally, the series was
intended as GMA Films' entry to the 2004 Metro Manila Film Festival but they later decided to
make Encantadia a daily fantasy soap opera due to its huge production and budget. Encantadia was
Doctolero's first head writing project with the network in 2005, and also served as her training for
writing a fantasy story for the first time.[6] According to her, it was inspired by the story of Maria
Makiling, a diwata (fairy) in Philippine folklore, in four different persona.[6] It was also inspired by
different stories around the world combined into one. [6] The first three installment were consecutively
shown from 2005 to 2006.[7][8] In 2010, a second saga or fourth installment was scheduled to be
produced by GMA Network, but it was not push through until Atty Gozon, CEO of GMA Network
pushed it back for 2012, but was scrapped.[9] In 2015,the director, producer and the writer were given
a go signal by the network to make the new Encantadia.[10] In January 2016, it was announced that
the fourth installment will be a reboot (often called as requel or retelling-sequel) of the old series.[11]

Overview
Encantadia is an enchanted place in a different realm. All of the characters existing in this world are
called Encantados. It was discovered and created thousand years ago by five supernatural beings,
Haliya, Arde, Emre, Keros and Ether who were referred to as bathala(Gods on the present times.
[35]
The world they created was settled upon by low-class working individuals called "barbaro".
Because of this, the three Bathala created four classes of individuals: the diwata's (fairies of Lireo
Kingdom; mystical creatures of the Adamya Kingdom; the healers called sapiryans of the Sapiro
Kingdom and the blacksmiths of the Hathoria Kingdom.[36] The four kingdoms promised allegiance
and worship to Emre, which caused Arde and Ether's jealousy and hatred, resulting to a plan to
assassinate him.[35][37] Emre discovered this plan and cursed both of them: Arde to become
a dragon who was sent to guard valaak(hell) and Ether to turn into snake to forever remind her of
being a traitor.[37] With this, the encantados are divided between the gods resulting to factions.
[37]
Some encantados followed Ether and established the fifth Kingdom of Encantadia called, Etheria,
which had later fallen due to the greed of their Queen Avria to conquer the whole Encantadia
causing the rest to unite against their Kingdom.[37]

The Gems
Main article: Brilyante (Encantadia)
The world of Encantadia is being powered and guarded by a powerful gem referred as Inang
Brilyante (mother gem) protected by Cassiopeia, the first Queen of Lireo.[47] The gem has powerful
characteristics and abilities, and is considered as the most powerful weapon of Encantadia. [48] With
this, it is being sought by greedy encantados driving Cassiopeia to break it into four elemental gems
that hold balance to the realm: fire, air, water and earth. [48] She later handed them to the four
kingdoms of Encantadia. King Arvak of Hathoria wanted to acquire all gems, starting a rebellion
leading to the Great Encantadian War wherein he was killed. Prince Raquim of Sapiro was able to
recover the fire and water gem from King Arvak, and decided to bring the two gems and the Sapiro's
earth gem to Lireo for safekeeping.[47] Since then, the four powerful gems are guarded by the Queen
of Lireo who then handed them to her four offsprings: Pirena, the keeper of the fire gem; Amihan for
the air gem, and Alena and Danaya for the water and earth gem respectively.[47] On the 2016 series,
a fifth gem was introduced as a result of Cassiopeia's intense breakage of the mother gem, which
propelled to the sea shore wherein a lost mortal became the keeper.[49][50]
Fire Gem (Brilyante ng Apoy) The gem grants its owner the power to
control fire, warmth and light. In this sense, the beholder can intensify sunlight and conjure fire.
This gem has the ability of shapeshifting into another person. It can also create volcanic
eruptions.[51]
Air Gem (Brilyante ng Hangin) The gem grants its owner the power to control
the air, wind and coldness. In this sense, the beholder can change air currents,
conjure oxygen in areas without it and transform into the air itself. It also grants the holder the
ability to fly and shapeshift into wind. The gem can also be employed in detecting the presence
of nearby beings by tracing the sound of their breaths.[51]
Water Gem (Brilyante ng Tubig) The gem grants its keeper the power to control water. It
enhances its keeper's strength and enables the person to control biosonar, liquids and sea
creatures. It also enables its keeper to summon rain and portray an image through water.[51]
Earth Gem (Brilyante ng Lupa) The gem grants its owner earth-based powers, enabling the
person to control the earth, vegetation and nature. In this sense, the beholder can
conjure earthquakes, communicate with plants and animals, shapeshift into any flora and
fauna and heal herself. Without the presence of the gem of earth, plants would wilt, animals
would die, and beings in Encantadia would weaken. [51]
Spirit Gem (Brilyante ng Diwa) - In the 2016 series, a fifth gem, also called Brilyante ng
Diwa (Gem of Spirit) was introduced as a result of a fragment from Cassiopeia's intense
breakage of the Mother gem. Its powers and abilities are all the abilities of the four gemstone. [52]
Life Gem (Brilyante ng Lila) - Also in the 2016 series, a sixth gem Brilyante ng
Lila (Gemstone of Life) was also introduced, a cube shaped amethyst used by Emre to tempt
Lira with power, alongside with riches. He said that the sixth gem has equal power to the first
five gems. It has the power of balance of nature. The first five gems are to create and maintain,
the final gem is for destruction. Its powers is to balance all the works (the opposite) of all the
other gems. Lira declined the gem and was kept until now by Emre. This gem is not part of the
Inang Brilyante (Mother Gem).
Enchanta
Main article: Enchanta
Encantadia uses a fictional language called Enchanta.[53] It was created and conceptualized
by Suzette Doctolero to make the viewers feel that the world of Encantados be somehow realistic
and genuine. Doctolero created its vocabulary from many Indo-European languages with some
influences of Philippine languages especially Tagalog.[54] It can be traced from words like "corre", to
love (from the root "cor" meaning heart) and "avoya", to travel (voyage).[54] The language is also
notable of being spoken as it sounds like its from some kind of European country because of the
tone and the phonotactics.[54] Most characters from the Encantadia saga know how to speak
Enchanta, but it was Cassiopeia that had spoken the language most in the whole series, from the
fact that she is the first diwata (fairy) of Lireo and ancestor of all the royal-blooded diwatas. [53][55]
