It was aired worldwide on GMA Life TV. The original movie, directed by the legendary director Lino Brocka, had four nominations and gave Lorna Tolentino another acting award for her role as Rosita Monteverde. For the remake, GMA writers wanted the series to be fit for TV: They extended the storyline by adding new elements that were never seen in the original movie and also added characters to make the story more meaningful. They agreed with VIVA Films that they will retain the original elements of the movie. Katrina Halili was the personal choice of Lorna Tolentino to reprise the latter's movie role as Rosita in the series. Due to Jennylyn Mercados pregnancy, she and boyfriend Patrick Garcia decided to drop out of the cast. Nadine Samonte and Polo Ravales were chosen as their replacement.
