Literally the phrase “Apoy Sa Dagat” was a contradicting phrase that defines two situations or characteristics that is different with each other. An element that will never jive or mix together.

Few weeks ago, me, together with the other invited bloggers were able to meet the creative team behind the roaring and sizzling teleserye on primetime. Though it was a few days before its pilot episode, news were already beaming up and more thoughts or intriguing questions flairs up. Will this new teleserye be embraced by the viewers. Well, we will definitely have the answer for that after we watched the first week of its pilot episodes. As for now the creative team behind the teleserye is eager and giggling enough to share their thoughts about this new project.

To start with, the creative team was able to share the conceptualization of this project “Apoy Sa Dagat”. For our foreign friends it is literally translated as “Fire On The Sea” or can be translated also as “Fire on Water”. Director F.M. Reyes lay the story behind the project. According to him this project was something out of the ordinary teleserye, it's more like reading between the lines.

For me, I think it is a totally weird idea of mixing fire and water and I also remember an old phrase that I think it was a song that was made into a movie. It is “Tubig At Langis” translated as “Water and Oil” which is also another materials that will never mix.

According to the creative team the teleserye was supposed to be plotted as a Caribbean Cruise but since most them agreed that they wanted to showcase instead the local spots they made some revisions of the story to jive into the great sceneries locally. Director F.M. Reyes was very anxious to share their stories about the places that they've shot with the scenes. According to him it was majestic to see those places.


The creative team also shared their working experiences with the actors and actresses that according to them they all have grown from their field of expertise. They are not the usual artists that they've worked before, it's in a new level of performance. With Angelica Panganiban, playing two roles, was able to portray two characters distinct with each other and that's something that Director F.M. Reyes was very proud to share.

Unravel and discover, that's what made me think of this newest teleserye. Watch Apoy Sa Dagat on Primetime Bida.
