Summary

I hope to add pictures here so you won’t get bored with my yapping.

The story in a nutshell: Lobo (Wolf) is about two childhood friends turned lovers (years later) who are trying to live normally. However, due to their duty to the people close to them, will both be separated again as they were when they were kids?

Lyka Raymundo recently discovers she is a white taong-lobo (half human-half wolf) and is regarded as the last guardian and savior of the rest of the wolf population. Her duty is to find the Stone of Remus and stop its curse from killing her kind on the night of the Red Moon. However, her love for Noah becomes a hindrance when it is discovered that Noah is from the very organization trying to kill all lobo — the Luna.

[Updated June 1, 2008] Recently on Lobo, Lyka has finally told Noah the truth: that she herself is a lobo. However, how can Noah still accept her after his father was recently murdered by a black and white lobo?

On top of this, Lyka has found the Stone of Remus and is ready for the night of the Red Moon, but as she was saving her friend, the necklace that holds the power of the Stone of Remus was stolen by the lobo clan’s enemy and its own kind: General Silva, a black lobo out to get revenge for the murder of his father (the waya killed his father because he was a black lobo).

How will Lyka save the lobo now, and is there still hope left for Noah and Lyka to be together again?

The story, in detail (beware, this will be very long):

Lobo revolves around Lyka Raymundo (Angel Locsin), an upbeat budding fashion designer, and Noah Ortega (Piolo Pascual), a trained soldier of the Philippine military. Sounds simple right? No.

Their story actually doesn’t start with them — the tale of Lobo starts with Lyka’s grandfather, Lorenzo Blancaflor, the son of the white lobo clan’s waya (protector, guardian). Lorenzo was a white lobo (wolf) turned black lobo after he accidentally bit a human. Drinking the blood of a human will automatically turn a sane white lobo to a blood-hungry black lobo. To save himself from being killed by the white lobo clan (whom are against the murderous black lobo clan), Lorenzo runs away with his wife and children to let them lead lives away from the clans.

Unfortunately, Lorenzo, is found after he secretly met with his twin sister, Eleanora. The two are found out by the white lobo clan and proceed to rid Lorenzo from this world. Eleanora, pushed aside by her waya parents, watches hopelessly as her brother turns into ash.

Lorenzo’s wife and children leave for San Isidro where they try to live without Lorenzo. Years pass and Nessa, the youngest child of Lorenzo falls in love with a local, Emil Ortega, and gives him half of a moonstone her father left her to signify their love for each other. However, Nessa, after her 21st birthday, also turns into a white lobo, inheriting her father’s “curse”. Her mother explains everything. She then shows Emil her true side, but he is unable to accept it and runs from her. Heart-broken and unable to control her powers, Nessa accidentally kills her mother. She runs away from San Isidro and heads for a location in which she can live in seclusion.

Nessa slowly starts to get on with her life, until a neighbor, Nicholas Raymundo, falls in love with her. He goes to her house, and while she’s asleep, beds the poor woman. Nessa awakens and to her dismay, finds out she was raped. Months later, to her dismay, Nessa discovers she’s with child and is frightened as to whether she passed on the curse. She then goes to Nicholas and shows her true identity. Unbelievably, Nicholas accepts who she is and loves her anyway.

A few more years go by and Nessa’s baby, Ulayka, is around four-six years old now and by this time, Nessa already loves Nicholas. However, they once again are forced to flee their home because the villagers have started to suspect that there may be lobo in their village, and the number one suspect was Nicholas. As they run, Nicholas tells his wife and daughter to go without him and to find safety.

Nessa and Ulay go back to San Isidro, to the only family she has, her older sister, Ate (older sister) Clara. Clara, angry, still blames Nessa for the death of their mother, but lets them live at her home anyway. Nessa accidentally meets Emil Ortega again, now a very successful veterinarian. He, also a widow, now has a son, Jay-Jay. Ulay and Jay-Jay instantly becomes best friends, much to the dismay of Anton, Clara’s adopted son. Still in love with Nessa, he’s been trying to find a cure for loboism all these years. The two promise to meet on the night of a full moon where he will give her the anecdote he’s been working on.

On the night of the full moon, Nessa tells Ulay how much she loves her and gives her half of the moonstone to her daughter. After Ulay falls asleep, Nessa leaves to meet Emil. Unfortunately, the anecdote doesn’t work and Nessa is still in her lobo form. Ulay, feeling that there’s something wrong, goes with Jay-Jay to find their parents. Jay-Jay finds his father and a white lobo, and unfortunately, while trying to get away from the white lobo that is Nessa, Emil slips on the cliff and falls to his death. Nessa, still in lobo form, runs and goes head to head with the Luna, an agency created to kill all lobo, white or black.

Saddened by their loss, Jay-Jay and Ulay run away. They also discovered that both have half of a moonstone and realize that each half fits together (Emil, before he died, gave Jay-Jay his half of the moonstone). As they get on the make-shift raft they created, the water becomes wild and both are pushed off the raft.

The two later awake and both are told that the other died during the incident. It will be years filled with hardships that they later meet again.

Years go by and Ulay (now called Lyka) has graduated from college and is trying to find a job in the fashion industry, much to the dismay of her Tita (Aunt) Clara. Her Kuya (older brother) Anton (Tita Clara’s adopted son) is also in love with Lyka and has been sitting idly waiting to receive that love back. We also discover that Anton is a black lobo, but the show doesn’t give away the answer to as to how he became one.

Meanwhile, Jay-Jay (now called Noah) was adopted by Emil’s colleague, General Leon Cristobal, and has been put under intense military training since. Over the years, Noah worked to be at the top of his military career, but unknown to him, his adoptive father, under the order of a higher commander, has been training him for the Luna agency. Also, Noah has become a totally different person and has no trace of Jay-Jay in him anymore. Due to the death of his father and Ulay, Noah’s focus is solely on the military and his mission, and whatever his father tells him to do.

The fun truly begins when Lyka is accepted at the House of Elle, a notable fashion house. During one of the photoshoots, Lyka was told by her snotty, gay-fashionista boss, Sir Elton, to do a test run of the shoot by strapping herself onto the glider. As soon as Lyka straps herself to the glider, Sir Elton secretly releases the ropes and Lyka is off and away. hah And this is where the story truly begins: Lyka falls smack dab on Noah during one of his missions.

(This is will be continued later… I have about 50 or so episodes to talk about. hah!)
