One of the most successful family drama series in the 90′s, VALIENTE, will be having a grand comeback on Philippine TV this time under the Kapatid Network, TV5.

Valiente made its mark to Filipino viewers because of its timeless story about how love, deceit and revenge get in the way of friendship, the blinding hatred that follows can lead a person to hurt those who are closest to his heart.

After a successful run that spanned five years on two major networks, Valiente returns to capture once more the hearts of Filipinos who grew up watching the series, as well as the new generation of viewers who would surely relate to the classic story two decades after.

Now airing on primetime for the first time and helmed by multi-awarded director Joel Lamangan, TV5’s Valiente recounts the epic tale of two families whose lives are intertwined by their desire to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs. The compelling story is given new life by a powerhouse cast of this generation’s promising actors, including Kapatid stars Oyo Sotto, Nadine Samonte, Niña Jose and JC De Vera.

In Valiente, viewers will witness how the admirable friendship of Theo Braganza (Oyo Sotto) and Gardo Valiente (JC De Vera) is torn by the vicious schemes of Theo’s ruthless mother, Doña Trining Braganza (Jaclyn Jose). Doña Trining manipulates the Braganza family and their business empire which resorted to labor and land disputes.The rivalry that follows between the two families is further sparked by the relationship of Gardo with Maila Braganza (Nadine Samonte). Theo and Maila’s cunning sister Leona (Niña Jose) will do everything to get in the way of this relationship in her desire to have Gardo for herself.

Joining the new generation of Valiente cast are the most-respected and highly acclaimed actors in the industry: Mark Gil, Jaclyn Jose, Gina Alajar and the original Valiente himself, Michael de Mesa.

Valiente also introduces a new set of promising young stars who will endear themselves to the viewers: Ross Pesigan (young Gardo), Liane Valentino (young Maila), Czarina Suzara (young Leona) and Arvic Rivero (young Theo). Also part of the cast are fine actors John Regala (Peping), Jim Pebanco (Ariston) and Toni Mabesa (Victorino Penitente).
