Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin stars in the new show, Lobo, premiering tonight at what ABS-CBN calls, “ONE GR8, JANUARY 28, 2008!”. ONE GR8, JANUARY 28, 2008! is ABS-CBN’s new  primetime block and features three pilots.

The first pilot is Kung fu Kids after TV Patrol World, followed by the Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin’s starrer, Lobo. Lobo is also Angel Locsin’s ABS-CBN debut and her return to a teleserye after a long absence. Lobo is said to have been big budgeted like a full length movie. And judging from the screencaps here, it looks like Lobo is not just your run of the mill teleserye. Expect Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin to shake up the competition.

Lobo also stars Shaina Magdayao, Ryan Eigenman, Pilar Pilapil and many more young stars.

Another teleserye that will premiere tonight is Palos, starring Cesar Montano, Jake Cuenca and Roxanne Guinoo. It will air right after Lobo.

Completing ONE GR8, JANUARY 28, 2008! are Maging Sino Ka Man in its “walang tulugan” timeslot (lol) and the koreanovela, Spring Waltz.
