Col. Leo Alicante. Reneboy. Lola Agueda. Wilma. Ito ang mga characters na kinalakihan ko --- ang mga tao sa buhay ni Flordeluna. Gabi-gabi kong pinapanood iyan nuong bata pa ako. Feeling best friend ko si Flor, in-imagine kong boyfriend ko si JC Bonnin, galit na galit ako kay Tita Jo, at takot ako kay Lola Agueda. Feel na feel ko ang bawat eksena at dalang-dala ako sa mga pangyayari sa buhay ni Flor.
As I grew older, hindi lamang Flordeluna ang tumatak sa isipan ko. Nagkaroon ako ng mga personal favorites na sinikap kong panoorin nang walang palya. Narito ang listahan iyon.
10. PIETA - Ryan Agoncillo, Cherie Gil
Director: Toto Natividad
Writers: Willy Laconsay, Clarissa Estuar, Agnes de Guzman, Xavier Gravides
This moving and well-written action-drama should''ve landed a primtetime spot. Gave Ryan the break and avenue to prove his acting prowess, too.
9. LOBO – Angel Locsin, Piolo Pascual
Director: Cathy Garcia-Molina, FM Reyes
Writer: Ricky Lee
The intriga factor for this show was high during the time this was on air as this was Angel Locsin’s first show in the Kapamilya network. Besides, I am a proud Locsin fan. Where you, I go. You jump, I jump. Hehe.
8. KUNG MAWAWALA KA – Sunshine Dizon, Cogie Domingo, Eddie Garcia
Director: Joel Lamangan
Writers: Roy Iglesias, Dinno Erece
\r\nFor being brave enough to tackle the ins and outs and the dirty realities of politics, this soap makes it to the list.
7. PANGAKO SA ‘YO – Jericho Rosales, Kristine Hermosa, Eula Valdez, Jean Garcia
Directors: Jerry Lopez-Sineneng, Tots Sanchez-Mariscal, Trina Dayrit, Rory Quintos
Writers: Tammy Bejerano, Theodore Boborol, Emman de la Cruz, Dado C. Lumibao and Michiko Yamamoto\
More than the love story between Echo and Kristine, the subplot that is Amor Powers and Madam Claudia makes this enough reason to try to be home by the time the news ends.
6. MULA SA PUSO – Claudine Barretto, Princess Punzalan
Director: Wenn Deramas
Writer: Ruel Bayani
Princess Punzalan’s Celina is enough nightly entertainment. Patay na, nabuhay pa?!
5. MAGING SINO KA MAN Book 1 – John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Sam Milby, Anne Curtis
Director: FM Reyes, Mae Czarina Cruz\
Writer: Shaira Mella, Generiza Reyes, Ricardo Fernando III
Palasak na daw ang amnesia? But this one used the device creatively and excellently.
Milby’s “I. Never. Said. That I Love You” is one of the most memorable lines of this show.
4. FLORDELUNA – Janice De Belen, Herbert Bautista, Dindo Fernando, Laurice Guillen
Director:
Writer:
I got from this de Belen starrer my primary education in soap operas, gap-enders, cliffhangers, twists and turns.
3. SA PUSO KO IINGATAN KA – Judy Ann Santos, Piolo Pascual
Director: Gilbert Perez
Writers: Gina Marissa Tagasa, AA Alaan-Nadela, Bong Ramos
Sa wakas, may bidang lumalaban at sumasagot-sagot. Sa wakas, palaban si Juday!
2. TAYONG DALAWA – Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu, Jake Cuenca
Directors: Ruel Bayani, Trina Dayrit
Writer: Dindo Perez
Scriptwriters these days have been accused of mere copying plots and subplots from other soap operas. The creative pool members of this memorable story have consistently proven themselves keen, sensitive, and creative.
1. MULAWIN – Angel Locsin, Richard Guttierrez
Directors: Dominique Zapata
Writers: Abi Lam-Parayno, Andrew Paredes, Don Michael Perez
The fantasy show that redefined primetime television. The show that catapulted GMA to number one. The first of many firsts. Speculative. Fantastic. Courageous. Intelligent. Moving.
