Do you know if there's any movies/series from Philippines with Tagalog or English subtitles? It doesn't matter if it's paid or something. Just that I've received an advice that's a good strategy to get acquainted with the actual everyday language. I've tried (and liked) the Voice of the Ph, and although it helped, it has no subtitles to follow along and spot unknown expressions or so.
Thanks in advance for your help!

¿Saben de alguna película o serie de Filipinas que pueda ser vista con subtítulos en tagalog o inglés (o español)? No importa si es pago. Es solo que recibí una sugerencia de que era una estrategia muy buena para ponerse en contacto con el lenguaje hablado cotidianamente. Ya lo intenté (y disfruté) con the Voice of the Ph, y aunque me gustó y ayudó, no tenía subtítulos, así que no podía seguir todo lo que decían, ni identificar y buscar expresiones que no entendiera.
Desde ya, ¡muchas gracias por su ayuda!
Wow si_kano!! Magaling!!
I couldn't thank you enough for this one!! That is exactly what I've been looking for and couldn't. I have material there to practice for a long while. :)
Marami na marami salamat!!!
Walang anuman! Glad you can use it in your studies. Ipagpatuloy mo pa lang ang pagsasanay [Just keep practicing] :)
The first one I thought of was Amaya, which you can watch here: http://www.viki.com/videos/132004v-amaya-episode-1
It's historical fiction with some fantasy elements mixed in and almost all the dialogue is pure Tagalog (as opposed to the mixed Tagalog used on most TV shows with English and Spanish loanwords). I'd reccommend it pretty much on that basis alone, as long as you keep in mind that it's not entirely historically accurate.
