as far as I can remember, the first episode I saw in Hiraya was about that boy who took care of a star that tells whether a storm will be coming to their planet. Hiraya was a good show. I was eager to wake up at 9 am before just to watch Hiraya, I kinda miss the show.

“So let your dreams come true!”…

  1. I was the boy you’re talking about, the one who took care of the star, I was 13 years old when I portrayed the role. Now I’m 35, and still looking for a copy of that episode. Hopefully I can get a copy 😊

  3. i named my daughter “raya” (short for soraya) but i got the inspiration from “hiraya”. gusto ko nga sana hiraya manawari para ethnic sounding. kaya lang baka naman masyadong ethnic sounding.

  5. ..i have the same feeling regarding dun sa nkkaawa kong mga kapatid dahil di nakanood ng mga ganitong shows…Puro anime at cartoons kasi ang mga npapanood nila na palaging merong nag-aaway pa nga.kaya ayun, yun ang natututunan nila 😦

    akala ko mgagawan ko ng paraan, I was recently browsing for the videos of Hiraya manawari(my favorite among the rest) para ipanood sa kanila pero puro putol n episode..

    Sana talaga ibalik yung mga ganung programa. Nananawagan ako sa ABS because i can’t afford to buy all the DVDs since I am just a college student.Thanks ^_^

    Nga pala, ano pong name ng artista na gumanap na Ate dun s hiraya manawari episode na “Ate” ? Idol ko kasi dati yun .pero wla akong pakialam s name noon dahil grade 1 p lng ako nung pinalabas yun.hehe:)

  7. i accidentally dropped by because of the current going-on in facebook..you know, the anti-child violence stuff..seeing those cartoon profile pics kinda remind me of my own childhood..lol..so, hiraya, just like the cartoons down my memory lane, was a very inspiring show..and yes, the first one i’ve watched was about that boy guarding a star..lol..and i miss so many episodes of this show..particularly the one about antonnete taus seeking for cure for her dying mother.. 🙂 thanks for this!!

  8. i remember the first episode! i think it was Agimat~ then a story about little elves? it was like a race, there’s a good girl and 3 sisters 2 of the oldest are bad I only remember Pikona coz she was Olga in Familia Zaragoza, she was in some Hiraya eps like the volleyball girls who was trapped by this guy with a weird laugh, it was about teamwork…and the lazy muslim princess!

  10. musmos pa lang ako, di pa ako nag-aaral, pinapanood ko na yan.
    “so let your dreams come true” pala ang meaning ng Hiraya Manawari.. After long long years, ngayon ko lang nalaman ang meaning nun.. Ngayong 4th year college na ako,, Pilit ko talagang iniisip nung meaning nya.. pero pano naging ganun ang meaning?,,Ibang language ba yun? Anong language?? Pinaka-favorite ko palang episode is yung “Palaruan”, nakakaiyak talaga yung episode na yun.. Yun yung first time na umiyak ako sa isang tv show.. Sana makabili ako ng mga dvd ng hiraya..
    Thank You kasi isa ang Hiraya Manawari and others ang kumumpleto sa pagkabata ko…

  14. sana magbalik ang mga EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ng ABS-CBN like, hiraya manawari, wansapanataym, bayani, sineskwela, etc. super ganda kasi ng mga to kesa sa mga anime na nakakaimpluwensya pa sa mga kabataan.
