Mulawin is a Philippine television drama fantasy series broadcast by GMA Network. Directed by Don Michael Perez and Dode Cruz, it stars Richard Gutierrez, Angel Locsin and Dennis Trillo. It premiered on August 2, 2004 on the network's Telebabad line up. The series concluded on March 18, 2005 with a total of 166 episodes. It was replaced by Darna in its timeslot.
The success of the series led to television spin-offs: Encantadia in 2005 and Iglot in 2011. While continuations of the series, the film Mulawin: The Movie was released in 2005, and the television series Mulawin vs. Ravena aired in 2017.
The series is streaming online on YouTube.[1]
The story centers around the species called "Mulawin" who once helped the humans save mother nature, then withdrew themselves and hid in the mountains due to humanity's greed. In the meantime, a rebel band of Mulawins called "Ravena" sought revenge against the humans. The peace between the humans and Mulawins depends on Aguiluz, the protector and Alwina, the envoy.[2]
Actress Maxene Magalona was approached to play the role of Alwina, which she declined. The role was later given to Angel Locsin.[6]
In October 2004, GMA Records released an album entitled Songs Inspired By Mulawin which serves as the series' original soundtrack. The album was made in response to several requests to play the show's theme song in various Philippine radio stations.[7] The album includes the series' theme song "Ikaw Nga" by South Border.[8]
A direct sequel to the series, the film Mulawin: The Movie was produced by Regal Entertainment and GMA Films and was released in theaters on December 25, 2005 as an entry to the 2005 Metro Manila Film Festival. A continuation of the film, the television series Mulawin vs. Ravena premiered on GMA Network on May 22, 2017.[9]
