On January 15, 1999, GMA Network started airing reruns of the original English dub of Voltes V which was the first anime to air in my country back in 1978. The anime series was finally concluded in my country with the compilation film subtitled "The Liberation" that June in theaters. One of the few things that annoys me was that Steve Armstrong screaming the name of robot after volt in sequence was complete, & he never shuts up. Anyway, GMA airs reruns of Voltes V every Friday night at 7:30 p.m. before Daimos until September 24 when the classic anime was replaced by Pokémon the following week. Oh, & I can forget the Filipino dubs from late 1999 onward & the live action version subtitled "Legacy" last year.

Cartoon Network shows on GMA
In 2000, I watched Cow and Chicken on GMA when I was 5 years old & the show is on a NTSC format rather a PAL format that I watched on Cartoon Network. I watched a few episodes of the show on GMA. A year later, GMA first air both Johnny Bravo & The Powerpuff Girls when I was 6 years old. The Powerpuff Girls aired every Monday, Wednesday & Friday at 4 pm while Johnny Bravo aired every Tuesday & Thursday at 4 pm. The Powerpuff Girls on GMA is Tagalog dubbed while Johnny Bravo remains in English. I can still continue to watch The Powerpuff Girls on GMA until 2002, I should continue to watched that show on Cartoon Network with new episodes. I can remember Dexter's Laboratory on Studio 23 also.

How come I watched Tagalog dubbed anime?
Between the mid 1990s & the late 2000s, Filipino children watched Tagalog dubbed anime on TV & they enjoyed it except for me. Tagalog dubbed anime started with Voltes V on IBC 13 in 1989 & it was short-lived. In the early 1990s, ABS-CBN started airing Tagalog dubbed anime & it will continue the tradition for years to come. Just before August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT, Tagalog dubbed anime shows were aired on TV networks such as ABC, GMA & IBC. In the 2000s, most Tagalog dubbed anime shows were aired as well like on RPN, Studio 23 & Q. In 1998, I watched Ghost Fighter on IBC before it aired on GMA a year after. I watched Mojacko on GMA between 1998 & late 1999 & I don't like when it's not English dubbed. I don't even like Dragon Ball Z on GMA ether because it uses the word Kamehame-wave instead of Kamehameha. After Ghost Fighter disappears on GMA on August 6, 1999 Friday, it comes back in the mid 2000s. In 2006, I watched a cable channel called Hero & it's a channel that airs Tagalog dubbed anime shows. Between October 30, 2009 Friday & today, I don't like Tagalog dubbed anime in my life. I guess ABC still airs Sailor Moon as of August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT. I'd rather skip it for now.

Prince Zardoz is Steve Armstrong's brother?
Every Filipino know as of August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT that at the end of the movie "Voltes V: The Liberation", Dr. Ned Armstrong is Prince Zardoz's father & Steve Armstrong is he's brother. After Zardoz kills his uncle Emperor Zu Zambajil by throwing a dagger for his mother at him, he sacrificed himself by being a half-brother of the Armstrong brothers in flames. When the Voltes team leave Boazania to earth, Dr. Armstrong remains here at Boazania & tells Dr. Hook to take care of his sons so the Armstrong brothers will see their father in Boazania someday. & so, the Voltes V story ends with this epilogue: "After all these years, an epic saga of conquest and liberation spanning 14.000 light years has come to a close. Zanbajil's evil empire is no more. From its ashes, springs in an egalitarian republic under the benevolent guidance of presidium Emperor Hrothgar. The planet earth and Boazania have forged a perpetual alliance utilizing transfers of technology, highlighted by the peace time use of ultra electromagnetic energy and warp drive transport system. Amidst this backdrop of intergalactic harmony, stands Voltes V, protector of the galaxies, champion of the oppressed, ready to rise again against the dark forces of the universe." On TV, Voltes V can still be aired on GMA every Friday night at 7:30 pm until September 24 when the show was replaced by Pokémon the following week.

Those were my days
I remember watching animated TV shows in English on every Local networks in the Philippines like ABS-CBN, ABC, GMA & RPN & I watched every animated show in English on UHF networks like Studio 23 & Q. That's between August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT & February 13, 2008 at 10:25 am PHT when I was 4 to 12 years old at that time, I already watched Christian animated shows on ZOE-TV between April 19, 1998 Sunday & August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT. It been 8 years since I watched TV when it was not Christian related. I was in Sulucan, Bocaue, Bulacan back then & I was moved to Quezon City in 2007. The shows that I watched on every Local networks in the Philippines were Superman: The Animated Series, The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, Codename: Kids Next Door, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, SpongeBob SquarePants, Rainbow Fish, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Pokémon, The New Woody Woodpecker Show, Dragon Tales & more. I also watched shows on UHF networks like Batman Beyond, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai X, Justice League, Franklin, X-Men Evolution, Poochini, Voltron: The Third Dimension & The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Holy Week is what my parents enjoy between 1995 & 1999 when I was from a baby to a Preschooler when they watch Holy Week specials on TV. During the late 1990's before August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT, my parents buy pirated VHSs & VCDs of some animated movies when we're not in a movie theater in every mall like SM & Robinsons. The problem is that the end credits were cut off when every movie is over. After that, my parents buy original VCDs of animated movies like Toy Story 2, Shrek 2, Madagascar, Over the Hedge, Chicken Little & Monsters Inc. Between 1999 & 2002, I watched Sesame Street on GMA during Seasons 30 to 32 every Weekday morning which I enjoyed the animated segments than the street scenes involving the Muppet characters which were not really animated characters. I refuse to watch CGI & Stop-motion movies between the late 1990's & the early 2000's until October of 2005, although I watched Robots & Madagascar in a movie theater in SM already before October in 2005. From 2006 onward, I enjoyed Computer animated movies & TV shows such as Bee Movie, Cars (film), Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Pet Alien, Open Season (2006 film), Meet the Robinsons, Over the Hedge (film), The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Kung Fu Panda, Space Chimps & more. As far as I can know, there are 3 Computer animated movies released in Philippines as of August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT which is Toy Story, Antz & A Bug's Life. Before & After August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT, I watched movie trailers of upcoming animated movies on IBC which I sadly didn't go a movie theater in every mall like SM & Robinsons when the movie's released. From 2002 to 2005, I lost my chance on watching Disney Channel when Home Cable removed it. Nickelodeon was also removed from the cable lineup until 2003, few months before the Post-1948 Warner Bros. cartoons first aired on Cartoon Network in my country. In 2000, I watched Popeye and Son on RPN 9 before I watched The All New Popeye Show on Cartoon Network a few years later. As a kid, the shows that I have to mute the volume are Codename: Kids Next Door & Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends but I decide it to watch with volume after October of 2005. I avoid watching Tagalog dubbed anime & cartoons before & after August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT because Tagalog is not my favorite language as of today. I should enjoy reliving those memories.

That Super Electromagnetic Machine cannot be destroyed
I should know as of August 22, 1999 Sunday in the Philippines, Voltes V wasn’t
destroyed completely at the end of the last episode & the Voltes
team didn’t end up dying, even for Steve. The show itself aired 31
episodes in total & released two movies including "The Liberation" which is a compilation of the last five episodes so far. Voltes V is owned by Toei
Company & Telesuccess Productions.

Thank God! I've watched these shows in my early childhood
I remember watching both Superbook & The Flying House on GMA 7 & later ZOE-TV 11 from 1995 to August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 AM PHT. As of August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 AM PHT & today, I don't like everything Christian related. Not even in the US & Asia. Christian kids shows like Colby's Clubhouse, Kids Club, Psalty The Bible Show, Quigley's Village & more. & I don't like EWTN & TBN either

The Tagalog dub of Voltes V started airing on GMA 7 15 years ago!
When I was 4 years old, I watch Voltes V every Friday night at 7:30 pm on GMA 7 since July 2, 1999. Now it's getting even worse, the Voltes V episodes that I remember watching every Friday night on GMA 7 between January & June of that year is Tagalog dubbed. That's 1 month, 7 weeks & 51 days before the Powerhouse rebrand of Cartoon Network although it was still 15 hours on cable that year until July of 2001. I prefer the original English dub of Voltes V than that plane crash of a dub. Like I said in the previous post, it's a total mess for me.
It's YuYu Hakusho, not Ghost Fighter!
When I was 4 years old, I watch Ghost Fighter every weeknight at 7 pm on GMA 7 since March 1, 1999. Between that date & August 6 of that year, all the episodes are dubbed in Tagalog right before Lupin the 3rd stole its' thunder on the Monday, Wednesday & Friday slot while Flame of Recca is on the Tuesday & Thursday slot as of August 22, Sunday of that year. I don't like that I watched that show briefly on IBC 13 when I was 3 years old, it was also dubbed in Tagalog. I should rather watch the English dub of YuYu Hakusho on the internet than watching on GMA 7 as Ghost Fighter, it's a total mess for me.

Voltes V: The Liberation (1999)
I just wanted to watch that movie when I was 4 years old but I failed to go to the mall to watch a movie because I was watching Cartoon Network on TV. By the way, that movie was released 15 years ago.

I watch Voltes V 15 Years ago
When I was 3-4 years old, I watch Voltes V every Friday night at 7:30 pm on GMA 7 since January 15, 1999. During the 1st & 2nd quarter of that year, all the episodes are dubbed in English. But in the 3rd & 4th quarter of that year, all the episodes are dubbed in Tagalog. Same goes to Daimos & it aired right after at 8 pm every Friday night. Oddly enough, there's actually a theatrical trailer & a TV trailer for the movie "Voltes V: The Liberation" which was released in the Philippines nationwide on June 16, 1999 Wednesday. Those were the days.
