Move over Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart; there's a new Edward Cullen and Bella Swan in town!
No, there aren't more cast shake-ups going on with the breakout-hit Twilight series. Rather, the teen vampire novel has been adapted for a television movie to be aired in the Philippines, separate from the box-office smash currently in movie theaters around the globe.

OMG! WTF!
I love the twilight series and even if I am a Filipino i wouldn't freak**g watch that. It's a disgrace to all Filipinos, not to say an insult to the twilight cast in the movie. I so hate ABS CBN for doing this.
Shaina is no Bella; Rayver is way, way not Edward material.
Channel 2 is making a complete fool of themself...Whoever gave them the idea to do a remake of Twilight deserves a public firing squad...Get a grip please!!!
And to pick Shaina whoever and Rayver whatever...d most disgusting pick ever...drop the idea please! Save yourselves the humiliation another flop TV series...
Tatagalugin ko n so ul understand: Konting awa at habag nman...wag babuyin ang Twilight...Please...christmas gift to the human race...
omed!
