About Darna:
Darna is the most widely celebrated Filipino cultural icon and beloved superhero character in the Philippines, and in this reaction video I’ll be sharing my thoughts from my perspectives as a Pinoy Historian and a Filipino Culture Bearer who was raised around comics!

Darna (also known as Mars Ravelo's Darna: The TV Series or Darna: The TV Series)is an upcoming Philippine superhero television series based on the comic book character of the same name, Keiko Aquino serves as head writer with Chito S. Roño leading the directing team.
Jane De Leon stars as Narda Custodio / Darna, with Joshua Garcia, Zaijian Jaranilla, and Janella Salvador also starring.

The series was announced on December 4, 2020, after the indefinite suspension of Star Cinema's Darna movie project in August 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. This is considered to be the biggest project of ABS-CBN for 2022. The series will premiere on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, and worldwide on The Filipino Channel on August 1, 2022.

About Me/Kirby:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a renowned Filipino Culture Bearer and currently the National Coordinator for Culture and Heritage for NAFCON (National Alliance for Filipino Concerns). He is a Dátû and Lakan by blood, and an Activist at heart. Kirby is a direct descendant of the last Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), and of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros and World War II Guerilyeras who fought for the liberation of the Philippines from colonialism. His upbringing exposed him to the contradicting worlds of traditional politics and grassroots activism.

With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, government, and human rights) and a strong commitment to serve the community, Kirby studied in some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, such as the University of California, Davis, Harvard University, and Université catholique de Louvain. Kirby is also the Co-Founder of the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at UC Davis and author of the groundbreaking book “Black Lives & Brown Freedom" about the untold history of solidarity between Filipinos and African Americans during the Philippine-American War. He is a visiting professor at various colleges in the Philippines and a research fellow with Ágúman Sínúpan Singsing, an institute for indigenous advocacy and the study of Kapampángan language, history, and culture. Kirby is also well-known for his educationally engaging YouTube channel where you can find videos about history, culture, and everything in between!

Dátû Kirby is an educator who is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his colorful heritage (Kapampángan, Tagálog, Indigenous Áytá, Pangasinan, and Spanish-Basque-Portuguese Mestizo); he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and creativity.
