ABS-CBN’s rumored "Twilight" TV adaptation.

Fan Made Poster from PEX thread

Is this true? I just found this rumor on PEX (Pinoy Exchange). I know that some of thread starters in PEX only want everyone’s attention and this one got mine. I’m not a fan of Twilight both novel and the movie. I don’t know where this rumored started but I’m surprised with the details circulating. There are cast line-ups, director, filming location and even posters. Lot of people says a big NO on this TV adaptation and some say it is not true and lacks of basis. But after reading on I found this link that redirect to ABS-CBN NEWS website. This is the news article:
