omonatheydidDuring one of BIGBANG's recent TV appearances in Japan, the hosts introduced the boys with superheroes from around the world, including Darna from the Philippines.
Created by Mars Ravelo, Darna first appeared in Pilipino Komiks #77 on May 1950, possibly patterned after Wonder Woman. In the most popular version of her origins, she is a deceased warrior from another planet who manifested herself through the body of a crippled girl named Narda. The girl transforms into Darna once she swallows a white stone and shouts the name of the heroine.
Darna's abilities include flight, super strength, super speed and near-invulnerability. Most of her arch-enemies are female, including Babaeng Linta (Leech Lady), Babaeng Tuod (Stone Lady), Babaeng Lawin (Hawk Lady), and Valentina (who has snakes on her head).
Darna has been recreated multiple times in TV and film. The show's host mentioned Vilma Santos, who portrayed the heroine in four films in 1973 and 1980. She is now a provincial governor.
I don't know what the boys are saying, but you can tell they loved the CPR scene.

I wish they featured the Angel Locsin series instead of Marian Rivera's.
