This is the pilot episode of Bagani that left a lot of people in awe with its amazing special effects to introduce the magical world of Sansinukob. Everyone didn’t expect how beautiful the production of Bagani until this episode came despite the controversies the teleserye faced.
“Bagani is Hardcore Freakin’ Legit! Its cinematography is way beyond compare. Now I can say that we have a GOT series with a Filipino taste. It is like a HALO HALO(pertaining to mixed customs, traditions and cultures of ancient Filipinos all wrapped up in one) #unangsabakngbagani“
