Sub-title: Kawawa Si Mommy

Villa Quintana actually started the trend of soaps on Philippine primetime. It was pitted against TV Patrol and it toppled the longest running newscast on the land as far as ratings is concerned. The rival show was alarmed, thus to compete with Villa Quintana, they transferred their longest running afternoon drama “Mara Clara” to primetime. In fact, a movie version was planned by Viva Films, however, it didn’t push through.

Villa Quintana is a tragic love story that captivated the hearts of the Filipinos. Lynette is a rich girl while Isagani is a poor boy. They met, fell in love. However, Lynette’s parents would not favor their relationship because Isagani is poor. They will do everything so that they would not fall into each others arms. It was tragic because, at the end, the two committed suicide.

This was Donna Cruz’s first primetime soap opera. Her tandem with Kempee de Leon is a hit that it had spunned into several box office movies.

Donna Cruz’s song “Only me and you” was used in the movie and it added more love and life to the scenes of Isagani and Lynette.

SCOOP: Villa Quintana is an upcoming GMA Network soap opera remake starring Starstruck Avenger Nadine Samonte.
