Mara Clara is back

The teleserye Mara Clara that launched the career of judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes is back.

MANILA, Philippines – Starting Monday, Oct. 25, ABS-CBN is bringing back, after 12 years, “Mara Clara,” considered the “Mother of All Teleseryes.” The series, starring Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes as Mara and Clara, respectively, starts airing Monday on Primetime Bida.

“Mara Clara,” which was a popular drama staple from Aug. 17, 1992 to Feb. 14, 1997, has been one of the highest-rated soap operas in the history of Philippine TV and was considered as one of the most unforgettable stories ever told on the boob tube.

The original Mara was of course Judy Ann Santos, and Clara, Gladys Reyes.



“Mara Clara” is the story of two girls who were raised in two opposite worlds – one grew up in a comfortable and rich lifestyle while the other spent her childhood in slums – whose lives and fate are intertwined.
