Lobo (english, wolf) was a fantasy series about young lovers Lyka Raymundo and Noah Ortega, produced by and aired on ABS-CBN. The story revolved around the two main characters who belong to opposing groups, the Luna which seeks to eliminate the Lobo or white werewolves, and the Waya, which seeks to protect the Lobo. 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. Starring Angel Locsin, who at that time had just transferred from GMA Network, Lobo also starred Piolo Pascual alongside Locsin.
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 wolves: "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" whom she thought was long dead. When Lyka and Noah finally meets and falls 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.
The show garnered mixed reviews, but it remained one of the top rating fantaseryes in the country and garnered critical acclaim both in the country and abroad. It gained a rating of 36.3% on the airing when its pilot episode aired on 28 January 2008.
