History
Before VIVA actually launched Sine Novela first at ABS-CBN under the title "Sineserye", GMA Network had already produced different remakes of films and motion pictures including Darna, Captain Barbell and Bakekang. VIVA remade three movies under Sineserye, namely Bituing Walang Ningning, Palimos ng Pag-ibig, and Hiram na Mukha. However, these 3 movie remakes did not do so well in the ratings games, so VIVA transferred all their rights on Sine Novela to GMA where it consistently garnered high ratings.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
