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:
“A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
—Henry Ford (1863–1947)
