Production

[edit]

The TV series marked Kristine Hermosa's comeback to television drama and her first daytime telenovela for the network. This marked her second pairing with her successful team up with actor TJ Trinidad after Gulong ng Palad. The series was also a planned primetime project and also delayed one week internationally but aired the entire first week on its Saturday afternoon block on The Filipino Channel (TFC). The series received well with mixed reviews because it used formulas from Mexican and Filipino storylines. This also served a comeback for 80's model and actress Lyka Ugarte in her acting career. The series was moved to 2:45 pm after timeslot issues. This marked Angelika Dela Cruz's second television rivalry with Kristine Hermosa after the 2003-2004 internationally acclaimed drama Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas after Angelika Dela Cruz departed from her home network. In late 2007, Ara Mina and Oyo Sotto from GMA 7 transferred to the network as regulars and successfully raised ratings.

Plot

[edit]

Prinsesa Ng Banyera is an afternoon soap opera ABS-CBN and became the first afternoon drama with a primetime storyline.

Maningning (Kristine Hermosa) grew up living with her younger brother under the cruelty of her mother Virgie (Jaclyn Jose) because of love. However, Virgie blames Maningning for the misfortunes throughout her life.

The story revolves around the fish market, and the real lives of people in the society where men rule the ports. While Maningning has hopes of finding her sister Mayumi, the latter managed to trace their biological father (Allan Paule), who is married to the scheming Eleanor (Lyka Ugarte). 14 years later upon visiting her hometown in Batangas, Mayumi (Angelika Dela Cruz) recognizes her twin sister and mother who do not notice her at first. Now living the life she ever wanted as Daphne Pertierra, Mayumi does not know that her true identity will come back to haunt her as Maningning is first hired as a laundry woman for the Perrei household, then eventually as a caretaker for the Pertierra matriarch Consuelo. As Maningning hides the truth about her work and studies to give her brother Habagat a good life, and saving money for his further education, this dismays Daphne. Daphne’s fiancé Charles (Rafael Rosell) will take a certain like to Maningning; to make matters worse, Charles' mother does not accept her for her son. So, Daphne has plans to ruin Maningning and as time begins to run out, Maningning finds out Daphne's real identity.

Their last remembrance together now is at their home in the pier as they reunite but someone ends up shooting Daphne unknowingly. Maningning is blamed for her twin sister's demise by Eleanor. A new woman named Cassandra Ynarez (Ara Mina) arrives, and ends up causing harm in Maningning's life.
