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:
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
