Expats’ Guide to Filipino-Dubbed Asian Dramas in PH

In the Philippines, aside from local teleseryes aired on Philippine TV channels, Filipinos also get to watch and understand dramas from Asian countries, like Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc., without subtitles as they are dubbed in Tagalog, one of the major dialects spoken in the country.
