Original film
[edit]The original film was released in March 27, 1990, by Vision Films (predecessor of Star Cinema). It starred Hilda Koronel, Richard Gomez, Jay Ilagan, and Cherie Gil. It was directed by Mel Chionglo and written by Ricky Lee.[3]
The film is digitally restored and remastered by the ABS-CBN Film Archives and Central Digital Lab and it was released in 2015.
Production
[edit]After the success of Sineserye Presents, ABS-CBN decided to make a new afternoon drama. Nagsimula Sa Puso was a 1990 film which earned Richard Gomez his first FAMAS awards and nominations. Richard Gomez played the role of a young college student in a heated affair with his college professor played by Hilda Koronel, who attempts revenge after being stricken with grief and resentment by his professor's mother, and takes revenge on his professor's now settled family only to obtain her for himself.
Throughout its press conference, Maja Salvador takes the lead as Hilda Koronel's character Celina Hernandez, a role which Maja analyzed carefully when offered the project. She allowed herself to play the character as she wanted to experience a different role from previous projects. After mostly playing adult roles on various episodes of MMK, she decided to take the lead and do a love scene with film and TV actor Coco Martin who was recently in the TV series on the same year Tayong Dalawa before Nagsimula Sa Puso's debut on October 12, 2009. The series revolved around Gloria Diaz, Jaclyn Jose and Buboy Garovillo with newcomers; Nikki Gil and Joseph Bitangcol as well as a special participation of actress and film director Laurice Guilllen.
Story and development
[edit]Celina Fernandez, a young college professor whose life has always been controlled by her mom, Minda (Jacklyn Jose). The latter puts such high hopes on her to the point that she is forced to live her dreams—that is to find a husband who’ll keep her future secure. But she couldn’t take more of Minda’s unyielding influence. So as an act of defiance, Celina not only rejects her rich boyfriend, Jim(Jason Abalos) offer to take her with him abroad but also his marriage proposal. To make matters worse, her professional life also turns upside down starting the day she meets engineering scholar Carlo Pagdanganan (Coco Martin). She instantly dislikes him for coming in late during their first day of classes and for making her look incompetent in front of the dean who’s very lenient with him. But what happens when she gets to know him more as a person? Would she ever consider falling in love with her own student?[4]
