Lobo (lit. Wolf) is a Philippine supernaturalfantasy horror TV series produced by ABS-CBN that
premiered January 28, 2008 and ran through July 11, 2008. It was topbilled by Piolo Pascual with
Angel Locsin and was the most expensive teleserye made by ABS-CBN.[2]

Overview
Production
In 2004, Lobo was already planned as a project by ABS-CBN with the original storyline centering on
siblings who are both wolves. Robin Padilla was the rst choice of ABS-CBN for the role "Noah" with
Claudine Barreto as "Lyka". Kristine Hermosa and Bea Alonzo were also considered but these
pairings was scrapped when Padilla transferred to GMA-7. In early 2007, John Lloyd Cruz and Anne
Curtis were also offered the lead roles but turned them down due to a prior commitment to return to
their roles for the sequel to the television drama Maging Sino Ka Man. The show nally began
formal preparations, training, and lming with the transfer of Angel Locsin to ABS-CBN. The
management decided to pair her with Piolo Pascual. Heart Evangelista was also offered "Gabriella"'s
role now played by Shaina Magdayao. The choice of the dog who portrays Lyka's white wolf alterego brought about ABS-CBN's decision to buy a purebred dog named Brasca all the way from
France costing P200,000.

Plot

The plot revolves around young lovers Lyka Raymundo and Noah Ortega. Lyka is a young woman
aspiring to be a fashion designer and works as a fashion assistant in the House of Elle. Her
decision to pursue the arts is frowned upon by her Tita Clara Rivero because, according to her, it is
not a practical choice.
Noah becomes a second lieutenant of the Philippine Army. During a crucial mission, he saves Don
Manolo Sebastian and becomes involved in the battle between the Luna and the Waya.
Lyka's position as fashion assistant to Lady Elle is foreshadowed by the fact that she is believed to
be the last hope of her fellow White Werewolves (a faction/clan of Filipino werewolves): "Ang Huling
Bantay". It is through the House of Elle that Lyka crosses paths with Noah, Lady Elle's bodyguard
and driver. Little does she know that he is actually her childhood friend, "Jay-Jay" who she thought
was long dead. When Lyka and Noah nally meet and fall in love, something had to tear them apart.
Something that Noah can never accept. The blossoming romance between the two is hindered by
the presence of Gabrielle Dizon and Anton Rivero. Gabrielle is a deep-penetration agent who
attempts to distract Noah while Anton is in love with Lyka and will do anything to prove his love.
There are two opposing groups in the storythe Luna and the Waya. The members of the Luna
organization have a grudge against the werewolves while the Waya are the protectors of the Lobo
(the werewolves), and they want them to co-exist harmoniously with normal humans.
