As part of the Ayala Museum and the National Book Development Board's brainchild, LitFest 2013, a plethora of colorful and elaborate costumes from GMA Network's most popular dramas, epicseryes, and telefantasyas are now on display at the Glorietta Activity Center.
“The GMA Telefantasya Costumes and Props Exhibit” has extended its run to November 28. It houses memorabilia from “Amaya”, “Indio”, “Mulawin,” “Encantadia”, “Machete” and “My Husband's Lover.”

From flowing gowns to heavily-jeweled warrior attire to golden headdresses and stone statues, the exhibition showcases the rich diversity of Philippine culture, on which the worlds of many of the shows were grounded.
Suzette Doctolero, who was the head scriptwriter for many of the shows, gave a talk at the LitFest 2013 event, “Poptastik! Pinoy: A celebration of Philippine pop cuture in literature, film and komiks,” as part of the panel of “Folklore in Pop Lit (As Shown in Text and Television).” She said that she did a lot of research for the shows, especially for what she calls the “historical fiction” of Amaya.
“Fascinated ako sa mythological history ng isang babaeng hero,” she said of her first-ever pitched concept for an original show, Urduja, which did not see the light of day. “Lahat ng datos na nakapaloob sa Amaya ay galing sa ating mga librong pankasaysayan at mga librong pang-mitolohiyang kasaysayan.”
Also featured in the exhibit are the famous house from “Dwarfina,” a series about the magical adventures of a girl barely the size of a finger; and the statue of Machete, which was featured in the network’s modern take on the Pablo S. Gomez classic.
Not to be missed are relevant memorabilia from the recently concluded “My Husband’s Lover.”
