Budget for costumes used in Amaya reaches P3 million mark; most were sourced from Southeast Asian countries

Amaya goes all-out in presenting a epic story dating back to the 1500s. Viewers will get to see the pre-colonial life of Filipinos living in the Visayan region through actual villages, infrastructure, clothing, transportation, and battle scenes. 

GMA-7 has been coordinating with the historical department of the University of the Philippines to make sure that every detail on this show is accurate. 

In a previous interview with PEP.ph, Marian said that her character will undergo several transformations as the show progresses. "Pabago-bago ang karakter ko dun. Naging prinsesa, tapos oripun, tapos warrior." Viewers will get to learn about the different social classes during  pre-colonial times. The "oripun" is considered the lowest social class, while the "binukot" refers to a princess who is considered to be the most beautiful woman in the land. To prepare for her role as a warrior, Marian revealed that she studied arnis. 

Amaya will depict the intertwined stories of three major tribes: Mangubat, Mugna, and Usog. The Kapuso Network constructed villages for the Mangubat and Bugna tribes at the Lagslas Picnic Ground in Pagsanjan, Laguna. 

Gardo Versoza's character heads the Mangubat tribe, the Mugna tribe is headed by Raymond Bagatsing's character, while the Usog tribe is headed by Vince Aguilar. There is a Jumabon tribe as well but the cultural influences were taken in historical context while the major tribes featured are fictional. 

Costume designer Gino Gonzalez puts his theater background to use by creating the elaborate fashion and accessories for GMA-7's upcoming primetime series.Amaya is the first epicserye on Philippine television with a fictional story yet backed up by historical context.

Using fabrics from all over the Asian region, the Amaya production team sourced these from Malaysia, Singapore, India, Indonesia--echoing the trade arrangements that happened in those times as well. Gino revealed: "Most of the costumes, made of natural fibers, usually silk. Binili namin sa Little India in Singapore, ang iba ipinahabi namin talaga rito based sa existing pattern na na-research namin." 

According to Gino, the "habis" took a while to create since they really take up time. Patterned after actual designs found in the Visayan and Southeast Asian regions, the team tried to stay away from very distinct tribal patterns to ensure nothing would be taken out of context. The "habis" end up looking regional because of the varied influences. 

The team researched the historical context of the clothing for three months and to date, they are still working on the costumes for the past three weeks of shooting. 

He then shared details about the costumes of the lead actresses of Amaya. 

"Kay Marian lang, second week pa lang, nakakalimang costumes na siya. Ang jewelry niya, merong semiprecious stones. Sina Rochelle [Pangilinan] at Glaiza [de Castro] and gumaganap na mga kapatid niya, kaya magaganda rin ang costumes and jewelry nila."

When asked if Marian, Rochelle and Glaiza will indeed be going topless for this show, he answered, "Ganoon naman talaga noong panahong iyon, pero hindi naman natin pwedeng ipakita sa TV. Kaya kailangang takpan ng damit o ng suot nilang alahas. Pero kapag may eksenang kailangang tumakbo sila, pinapayagan na naming may suot sila, na hindi naman mahahalata." 

Gino shares that they applied boxer codex, the language of symbols used in the Philippines before the Spaniards arrived. It uses watercolor drawings to represent what people looked like then. 

Accessories and jewelries are sourced from Malaysia (headdresses), the necklaces were done by a local group while other items were done by Bulacan craftsmen who make carosas. 

The tattoo like drawings on the warriors' bodies also take time to create. These drawings represent basic tribal shapes that were provided by two historical consultants. Each of the five tribes represented in Amaya got their own combination of tribal shapes drawn on the bodies of the male warriors.

Because of the intricacy and attention to detail for all the costumes, Amaya's costume budget has already reached the P3 million mark.

Walang Kupas na Blusang Itim ni Elena Patron, Babago sa Afternoon Viewing sa GMA 7

Sasabak na si Kylie Padilla sa kanyang kauna-unahang pagbibida dahil siya ang gaganap sa karakter na pinasikat ni Snooky Serna sa 1980's movie. Matapos mapanood sa primetime drama na Dwarfina at sa hit series na Tween Hearts, haharapin na ng anak ni Binoe ang pinakamalaking challenge sa kanyang career: muling buhayin si Jessa, ang timeless lead character sa Blusang Itim. 

Sa afternoon drama na ito, matutunghayan ang kwento sa likod ng hindi magandang mukha ni Jessa at kung paanong nangangarap siyang matanggap at makapasok sa fashion industry bilang isang designer. 

Kasama ni Kylie upang magbida rin sa series na ito ang ilan sa young and promising stars ngayon. Si Frank Magalona bilang Angelo, ay isang kilalang modelong matagal nang hinahangaan ni Jessa at si Winwyn Marquez naman ay si Vicky, ang kasintahan ni Angelo na isa ring modelo. Samantala, gaganap si Lucho Ayala bilang Edward, ang lalaking magkakagusto sa magandang alter ego ni Jessa na si Jessica. At si Carl Guevarra naman bilang Melchor, ay ang kaibigan ni Jessa simula pagkabata na umiibig sa kanya sa kabila ng kanyang hitsura. 

Lalaki si Jessa na nangungulila sa pagmamahal ng makasarili at ganid na inang si Esmeralda (Jackielou Blanco). Ang hindi niya alam, si Esmeralda ang bunga ng kanyang paghihirap at maging ng kanyang pangit na mukha. 

Habang nagdadalatao si Rhea (Rita Avila), ang tunay na ina ni Jessa, gumawa ng paraan si Esmeralda upang malaglag ang bata. Hindi kasi matanggap ng huli na mas pinili ni Gerald (Gary Estrada) si Rhea kahit na sinabi niyang buntis din siya. 

Hindi man nagtagumpay si Esmeralda na mapatay ang anak ng mag-asawa, nagawa naman niyang miserable kahit papaano at puno nang kasinungalingan ang buhay nila. 

Nang manganak si Rhea, hindi makapaniwala si Gerald na deformed ang mukha ng sanggol dahil sa muntik nitong pagka-abort. Naisip niyang alukin si Esmeralda ng pera upang makipagpalit ng anak sapagkat bagong silang din ang anak nitong si Edward. Tinanggap ni Esmeralda ang offer at kinuha ang kawawang si Jessa ngunit kahit kalian ay hindi niya ito itinuring na anak. 

Buong buhay niya, inaasam ni Jessa na matanggap ng mga tao sa kabila ng kanyang hitsura. Hangad din din niyang ibigin siya ng isang lalaking tatanggapin ang kanyang anyo. Lahat ng ito ay tila imposible hanggang sa dalhin siya ng kanyang mabuting puso sa mahiwagang blusang itim. Hindi lamang pagagandahin ng blusang ito ang kanyang mukha, kundi maging ang kanyang buhay babaguhin nito. 

Ang blusang itim nga ba ang magiging daan upang maabot ni Jessa ang kanyang mga pangarap at makuha ang buhay na dapat ay mayroon siya? O gagawin ba nitong mas kumplikado at puno ng sakit ang kanyang buhay? Makakatulong kaya ang blusang itim upang makamit niya ang tunay na pag-ibig at pagtanggap na matagal na niyang hinahangad? 

Sundan kung paanong ipinagkait ng panlabas na anyo ng isang tao ang pagmamahal na dapat ay kanya at kung paanong mababago ang takbo ng kayang buhay dahil na rin sa kanyang kabutihan. 

Kasama rin sa cast ng Blusang Itim sina: Maritoni Fernandez bilang Victoria, ang matapobreng ina ni Angelo; Marissa Delgado bilang Concha, ina ni Esmeralda; Maureen Mauricio bilang Elsa, ang ina ni Melchor na may pilat sa mukha; Bodie Cruz bilang Noel, kaibigan at manager ni Angelo; Chariz Solomon bilang Chiqui, kaibigan ni Jessa; at Andrea Torres bilang Allyson, isa pang anak nina Gerald at Rhea. 

Sa pamamahala ng My Lover, My Wife director na si Jay Altarejos, ang Elena Patron's Blusang Itim ay mapapanood araw-araw simula Mayo 16 pagkatapos ng Eat Bulagasa GMA Dramarama sa Hapon. 

Matutunghayan din ang Elena Patron's Blusang Itim worldwide simula Mayo 18 sa GMA Pinoy TV. –Text courtesy of GMA Network
