Pinoy Fantasy Hiraya Manawari Komiks |
Wansapanataym (Filipinization of the English phrase "once upon a time"), also known as Wansapanataym Presents, is a Philippine fantasy anthology television series produced and broadcast by ABS-CBN, airing every Sunday night. The series follows the stories of everyday people as they encounter fantastic events involving magic and the supernatural and how their lives are forever changed by their adventures with the otherworldly. Like the children's television series Hiraya Manawari, the series also focus on providing values education for kids and teens through courage, discipline, honesty, humility, love, obedience, respect and other moral values, adapted from Filipino stories and legends or original stories.
The series was aired from June 22, 1997, to February 27, 2005, replacing The Sharon Cuneta Show, then re-aired from 2006 to 2007 and from September 11, 2010, to April 7, 2019, replacing Agimat: Ang Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla and was replaced by Hiwaga ng Kambat. The series was also aired on ABS-CBN's Yes Weekend! primetime block with new episodes and remakes of past episodes. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, Wansapanataym returned on air every weekend until some time in 2020, temporarily replacing 24/7 and Home Sweetie Home until the broadcast franchise of ABS-CBN expired.
Wansapanataym is the longest-running fantasy anthology series on Philippine television, reaching its 19th year in 2019. The creators dubbed the series as "the original storybook of Filipino children". As the series progressed, most episodes have spanned a variety of genres and subgenres including romantic comedy,[a] action-adventure, horror,[b] and science fiction, while also keeping the fantasy genre.
History
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Wansacards.png/220px-Wansacards.png)
Wansapanataym was launched in 1997, having genre similarities with the ABS-CBN Foundation-produced educational program Hiraya Manawari (which features Filipino short stories for children) and the 1980s series Pinoy Fantasy. A film was also produced based on the show's genre, which starred Serena Dalrymple, Christopher de Leon and Shaina Magdayao.
Judy Ann Santos and the late Rico Yan graced the very first episode of Wansapanataym.
From September 2004 to February 2005, the show underwent a reformat featuring two child characters (played by Sharlene San Pedro and Nash Aguas) and a magical book inside a chest or somewhere in their house at the start and end of almost every episode.
The series was currently airing on Jeepney TV every Saturday at 10:00 pm, and streaming on Kapamilya Online Live Global every Sunday at 3:05 pm and iWantTFC.
Re-runs of past episodes (2002–2005; 2010–2015) are currently streaming on the Yey! YouTube Channel every Tuesday at 10:00 am and 3:00 pm, and Sunday at 9:30 am on A2Z.

[edit]During the ABS-CBN Trade Launch held at NBC Tent, Metro Manila in August 2010, it was announced that Wansapanataym would return with new episodes. Unlike the previous iteration, it focuses on adaptations based on "komiks" in the first season. It premiered on September 11, 2010, with its first episode "Inday Bote" starring Melai Cantiveros-Francisco. The succeeding seasons stayed faithful to the original format. The show's second iteration initially aired on Saturday nights, but since 2014, Wansapanataym returned to Sunday nights again and onwards, similar to the first 1997–2005 iteration.
On June 29, 2013, Wansapanataym was reformatted as a bi-monthly series wherein one story will be shown for a month or two except on Christmas specials.
On November 8, 2015, Wansapanataym launched its two-month television special titled 15 Magical Years in celebration of the show's 15th anniversary, airing 8 special episodes (4 of which were Christmas specials). The special ended on December 27, 2015, now regularly airing bi-monthly episodes.
After almost 9 years of broadcast airing of the show, Wansapanataym ended its overall original run on April 7, 2019, with a replay of "Selfie Pa More, Sasha No More" on April 14, 2019[1] between the show's original airing and its replacement Hiwaga ng Kambat.

The first run of WansapanaSummer began airing on April 29, 2013, every Mondays to Fridays at 10:15 am, replacing Ohlala Couple.[2] The highest rating was 18.3% on May 10, 2013.[3] It ended on June 20, 2013.
In 2014, the series aired again on weekday mornings at 10:15 am from March 17 to April 11, 2014, replacing Crazy Love.
In 2015, a re-run of "My App #Boyfie" was abruptly aired at 9:15 am from April 13 to 24, 2015, replacing Haikyu!! which had only aired five episodes.[4][5]
