TV5’S NEWEST soap, '
Valiente', will start tonight after “Wiltime Bigtime” and we hope it’ll rate higher than their past shows like “Sa Ngalan ng Ina” and “Glamorosa” that never went beyond 2 plus percent in the ratings. Archangel Media, its producer, is spending so much for the production. They tape it at Leviste Farm in Batangas and they pay P75,000 a day plus additional cost for the use of the horses there. It uses other locations and has a huge cast so we hope it’ll also have more advertisers so that it can earn some revenue.
We remember when TAPE, Inc. was producing this for GMA-7, they were doing it at a minimal cost, taping only at Valley Hills in Antipolo. But it ran for several years starring Michael de Mesa and Tirso Cruz III, now played by JC De Vera and Oyo Sotto. With Joel Lamangan helming it, we have no doubt “Valiente” is worthseeing, what with Nadine Samonte, Nina Jose, Michael de Mesa (who was summoned back home from the U.S. just for this show), Mark Gil, Jacklyn Jose, Gina Alajar, Cherry Pie Picache and Ciara Sotto also in the cast.
