Mulawin is a Philippine television drama fantasy series broadcast by GMA Network. Directed by Don Michael Perez and Dode Cruz, it stars Richard Gutierrez, Angel Locsin and Dennis Trillo.

Premise

The story centers around the species called "Mulawin" who once helped the humans save mother nature, then withdrew themselves and hid in the mountains due to humanity's greed. In the meantime, a rebel band of Mulawins called "Ravena" sought revenge against the humans. The peace between the humans and Mulawins depends on Aguiluz, the protector and Alwina, the envoy.[2]

Soundtrack

In October 2004, GMA Records released an album entitled Songs Inspired By Mulawin which serves as the series' original soundtrack. The album was made in response to several requests to play the show's theme song in various Philippine radio stations.[7] The album includes the series' theme song "Ikaw Nga" by South Border.[8]

Actress Maxene Magalona was approached to play the role of Alwina, which she declined. The role was later given to Angel Locsin.[9]
