Hi! I must admit the latest drama I've seen were years ago (2015 being the latest) but here are my recommendations:
- Mara Clara
- Got To Believe
- Walang Hanggan
- Bridges of Love
- On the Wings of Love
- Til I Met You
- Born For You
- Dolce Amore
- Forevermore
- The Legal Wife
- Tubig at Langis

As for newer ones, although I haven't seen it, I heard positive reviews about:
- The Killer Bride
- Wildflower
- The General's Daughter
- Kadenang Ginto (Gold Chain)
- Love Thy Woman
- Asintado
- Make it with You [this show was cancelled tho]
- The Story of Us
- Los Bastardos
- Pasion de Amor
- Be My Lady
- Doble Kara
- A Soldier's Heart

*Note: All these shows belong to only one TV station (ABSCBN). I have not seen any ones from GMA-7 or TV-5 but you can try them if you want to. I was just never a fan. Nonetheless, thank you for your interest in my country's shows. Happy viewing!

^by that I mean I could go on sketchy sites and just watch it. however, such sites do not have subs at all and only a few bc TV networks are doing a crackdown on those so it's so hard accessing them. For me, I don't think a subscription is worth it especially if I would only be watching 1 show and I'm a broke college student soooooooo......

Seee, most drama watchers, from my observation are young and me for example am broke. Luckily I speak the language and do not need ENG SUBs but for international audiences, it's a more complicated topic. Good luck tho and happy watching.

broooo I thought that ended with the ABS CBN shutdown thingy..... did they even shut down?? Brooo I have a cousin that was born the year that drama started and now he is 5 likeeeee ???? it should end already to make way for newer content. it's like 1000 episodes. No siree. And I thought Grey's Anatomy was long.

TFC if you're in the USA. Idk any decent streaming websites with free ENG SUB :( sorrryyy. (this is one of the biggest reasons our filipino dramas are not as popular: no free decent subs.) We have this big TV network called ABSCBN and they only upload the episode trailers for ongoing dramas. they would never post the full episodes on YouTube. If they do, that drama would be like super old from 5-10+ years ago. Disappointing, really. Anyways, thanks for reading.
Rant: closed. I should be doing my homework

As a Filipino, born and raised, I think we have a long way to go if we compare ourselves to our neighboring Asian countries. For starters, we cannot cater to international audiences because it is hard to find free streaming websites to watch such shows. Unlike K-dramas, they are more accessible. A wide variety of Chinese dramas are uploaded free on YouTube but for us, we have to have a paid subscription to TFC to get the subs or high quality videos. (Our biggest TV network that has the good shows hate piracy and would often bust streaming sites so there you go.) Also, I agree with other commenters that our plot is the usual same old love teams and affairs that there is nothing new. We had this one drama that started in 2015 that ran its course which amounted to more than 1,000 episodes. While normally dramas would range from 3 most to 2 years and it is worth noting that we do not take breaks every year unlike American shows. Our Filipino dramas have new episodes every weekday that is 20-30 minutes each. It is very draggy and I would not even recommend it to my foreigner friends. The acting is alright but given the long course, it becomes bland. I think they need to cut back on the amount of time a show airs in order to focus more on cinematography. And let me tell you about the OSTs: it is basically the same song played over and over again in most cases. Some dramas are named after songs like "Got To Believe" and "Forevermore." It is always a bickering couple that would stand the test of time and third parties. I'm sick of it. And that is why I often prefer Chinese/Korean/Japanese dramas because (1) less episode, less time commitment (2) only 1-2 seasons so more time for other shows=time to explore other genres (3) has a huge following so international friends and I can talk about it (4) great cinematography and visual effects. My advice is here if you wanna take it. But I would only watch Filipino movies and not the dramas.

I first saw her in Romance of Tiger and Rose. She reminds me of TWICE Chou Tzuyu!! Both of them could pass as sisters and are so pretty !!

He is so handsome!!
