Kapamilya actress Sunshine is very excited to be back on TV and to play a passionate character, Isabel de Lara, wife of the scion (played by Christian Vasquez) of a haciendero (land owner). “I am very thankful to ABS-CBN and TFC for the trust that they have given me for this kind of project. I am very thrilled and at the same time very nervous about the outcome of my performance.”

According to Carlo J. Caparas, the TV remake of Dugong Buhay is a special project for him because it is his tribute for workers who were mistreated by their landlords. “The TV remake of Dugong Buhay is a beautiful creation that resulted from preparation, hard work and remarkable creative talent of the people behind it.”

For director Toto Natividad, having the opportunity to direct Caparas’ masterpiece is a huge honor for him. “This is a big challenge for me because this is not only about battles and action. Dugong Buhay is a tension-filled drama series with a lot of heart,” he said.

Dugong Buhay will feature the lifetime search for vengeance of a hacienda worker named Simon against the cruelty of the De Lara family. Because of his burning hatred since childhood, Simon is going to use his own son Victor (Ejay) to destroy the people who maltreated his family.

According to Nonie who will portray the role of Simon, “TV viewers will be able to relate with this series because it is about everyone’s capacity to forgive.”
