Directed by Dan Villegas, Onat A. Diaz, Jerome C. Pobocan, Darnel Joy R. Villaflor and Jon S. Villarin, it stars Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu, Jake Cuenca and Coleen Garcia.
[9][10] This fictional drama teleseries follows the story of Bianca Agbayani (Francine Diaz) and Gabriel Villoria (Yogo Singh) who develop a special bond as young children in Zambales.
Bianca is scouted by Tiger Shark Energy Drink president, Carlos dela Vega (Jake Cuenca) to be their new endorser.
Bianca's mother Maila Salcedo (Madeleine Humphries) was an Olympic triathlete, picked to represent her country at the ASEAN games.
During a practice run at night, she is physically assaulted, resulting to permanent limb damage that ruins her career as a professional athlete.
Her best friend Victoria Quintana (Bangs Garcia) takes her spot in the Philippine team and garners the honor and celebrity status that comes with this national achievement.
To cover her complicity in the infant swaps, Victoria frames Rigor as a drug dealer, who is subsequently sent to prison on a life sentence.
But Rigor (Daniel Fernando) is paroled from prison on a technicality and returns to Victoria (Ayen Munji-Laurel) for his rights to be close to her and their child.
Her obvious anxieties over Rigor's sudden emergence into her life raises flags for Roman (Michael de Mesa) who suspects his wife of keeping secrets.
Rigor dislikes Bianca and purposely avoids rekindling a friendship with Maila (Bing Loyzaga), who is keen on catching up with her former teammate.
Concerned over losing his wealth and status, Carlos seeks his father Rigor's help to protect his mother's secret and eliminate Gabriel from their lives.
Carlos, on the other hand, squanders his ₽100 million inheritance through gambling and his wife Isabel (Coleen Garcia) suffers a mid term miscarriage.
Without access to the Dela Vega resources to pay his massive gambling debt, Carlos and Rigor strike a deal with a loan shark.
Suspicious that Carlos' sudden wealth has some connection with the syndicate, and using the resources of law enforcement assets, Gabriel obtains valuable intel exposing the loan shark and smuggling operations.
In the meantime, a whistle blower admits to Roman about Carlos' direct involvement in the recent company sabotage and plans for a corporate takeover.
After the filming postponed for many reasons, Santos was later pulled out from the cast and moved to Magpahanggang Wakas, while some of the scenes already shot in Bulalacao, Oriental Mindoro will not be used anymore.
Cuenca and Anderson remained part of the series, while ABS-CBN tapped Kim Chiu to play the role previously given to Santos.
Meanwhile, the drama is also Cuenca's reunion and first on-screen team up with Coleen Garcia who he once worked with in the Philippine adaptation of the Colombian telenovela, Pasión de Amor.
On late September 2017, Arci Muñoz and JC Santos joined the cast as special guests for the drama's new chapter as third wheels for Chiu and Anderson.
In late April 2017, ABS-CBN announced the triathlon drama will replace Langit Lupa on May 1, 2017,[10] in a pre-noontime slot right before It's Showtime, as part of PrimeTanghali noontime block.
