Encantadia

The second series title Etheria: Ang Ikalimang Kaharian ng Encantadia premiered in the same year and ended in 2006 with 50 episodes.

Due to its significant success, the third series title Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas premiered in 2006 consisting of 48 episodes.

[16] 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.

In the end, the composer appears to question the unending violence in the land including the lack of love and peace.

[21] "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.

[23] 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.

It was created thousand years ago by five deities Haliya, Arde, Emre, Keros and Ether, who were referred to as bathala (Gods) in present times.

[27][29] Emre discovered their plan and cursed both of them: Arde became a dragon and was sent to guard valaak (hell) while Ether was turned into a giant snake as a reminder of her treachery.

However, King Arvak of Hathoria, consumed by greed, desired to acquire all the gems, so he used the fire gemstone he protected as a weapon in his war to conquer Encantadia.

[45] It was created and conceptualized by Suzette Doctolero to make the viewers feel that the world of Encantados be somehow realistic and genuine.

[46] It can be traced from words like "corre", to love (from the root "cor" meaning heart) and "avoya", to travel (voyage).

Queen Minea is the ruler of Lireo and she lives with her daughters Amihan, Alena, Danaya, and Pirena, who are collectively called the Sang'gres who are tasked with protecting the four elemental gemstones that bring harmony and peace to the realm of Encantadia.

Everything changed when Pirena, Minea's eldest daughter, consumed by greed and jealousy, revolts against her half sister Amihan who has been chosen by their mother as the new Queen of Lireo instead of her.

With the fire gemstone in Hagorn's hands, he and Pirena wage war against the kingdoms of Encantadia to conquer the realm.

Amidst the raging War of the Four Gems, Lira, the lost daughter of Amihan, returns to Encantadia to try to mend the broken relationships of the strong-willed Sang'gres and restore peace to the realm.

Etheria rose again from the ashes and in order to save the present, the four Sang'gres of Lireo travelled to the past, in ancient Encantadia, to find the lost Sang'gre and destroy the Ginintuang Orasan (Etheria's powerful weapon) to stop Avria's centuries-old plan to dominate the realm.

Aguiluz is seen lying in a royal bed in Lireo with Queen Amihan putting the "gintong binhi" to his mouth that can get his life back.

[53] The series will be directed again by Mark Reyes and the creative team includes Encantadia creator Suzette Doctolero, veteran screenwriter Ricky Lee, and writers Anna Aleta Nadela, Jake Somera, and Ays de Guzman.

[58] The 2016 series is also made available exclusively on iflix as 1080p video on demand wherein new episodes are uploaded a day after its airing in GMA Network.

[59] According to iflix manager Sherwin Dela Cruz, "we are hugely proud to support the Philippines’ exceptionally talented local entertainment industry.

[65] Earlier in 2006, a non-free mobile game called Encantadia was released exclusively for Symbian/Java-capable devices, published by GetJar.

[67] Jason John Lim, former head of GMA records in 2005 stated in an interview that the DVD was released due to public demands specially for viewers overseas.

[68] On December 24, 2016, series of photos of different Encantadia collectible items has been uploaded on Instagram by the director and casts including jackets, mugs, stickers, notebooks and caps during their Christmas party held at Riverside Studios, Manila.

[71][72] An Encantadia parody has also been featured in a comedy show, Bubble Gang under GMA Network in 2005 entitled as "Pinkantadia".

The said spoof featured comedy actors Michael V, Sef Cadayona, Antonio Aquitania, Paolo Contis, Betong Sumaya, Boy2 Quizon, Max Collins, Jackie Rice, and Valeen Montenegro.
