What happens
Wansapanataym (Filipinization of the English phrase "once upon a time"), also known as Wansapanataym Presents, is a Philippine fantasy anthology television series broadcast by ABS-CBN. It aired from June 22, 1997 to February 27, 2005, replacing The Sharon Cuneta Show. The show returned on the network's Yes Weekend! line up and worldwide on TFC from September 11, 2010 to April 7, 2019, replacing Agimat: Ang Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla and was replaced by Hiwaga ng Kambat. The series was also aired on ABS-CBN's Yes Weekend! primetime block with new episodes and remakes of past episodes. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, Wansapanataym returned on air every weekend from March 29 to May 3, 2020, replacing 24/7 and Home Sweetie Home and was replaced by Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan? and Iba 'Yan on Kapamilya Channel's weekend evening slot. The series features stories of ordinary people who experience magical and supernatural events that change their lives. Similar to the children's programme Hiraya Manawari, the series also aims to provide values education for young viewers. Wansapanataym is one of the longest-running fantasy anthology series on Philippine television, marking its nineteenth year in 2019. Described by its creators as "the original storybook of Filipino children", the programme incorporated other genres while retaining its fantasy focus. In its later seasons, it placed greater focus on romantic fantasy featuring love teams. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
