ynopsis

The story revolves around twin girls named Sha-Sha and Tin-Tin who transform into teenage superheroines Super S and Super T, respectively, and daughters of Manuel Paredes and Ester Paredes. They transform by kissing their special rings. Using their powers, they commit themselves into saving people's lives, defending humanity from the evil Eliazar.

According to the story, the rings are made of a certain metallic stone which once formed the core of a ball of fire called "santelmo" (St. Elmo's fire). The metallic stone contains the power of the sun. Whoever possesses the "santelmo" gains extraordinary powers.

But one time a "santelmo" crashed on earth and broke up in two: the metallic core and the ball of fire. The ball of fire was caught by Eliazar, who could not take in the fullness of the "santelmo" but gained significant powers from it. The metallic core, which contains most of the "santelmo"'s power, came into the possession of a woman named Ester, who happened to be pregnant with the twins. Later on her husband Manuel wrought the metallic stone into rings. Then as the twins turned seven, Manuel gave the rings to them. Sha-sha and Tin-tin can only transformed by chanting the words: "Kapangyarihan ng araw!, taglay ay liwanag, kambal na lakas, kami ang Super Twins"(The Power of the sun!; containing light. Two powers, we are the Super Twins!)

But, the story goes, Eliazar later on wanted to conquer the whole world, so he went on to search for the metallic stone as well. And so the search ended up in a saga of encounters with Super S and Super T. [ [http://www.igma.tv/shows/super-twins "Super Twins - About The Show"] , "iGMA.tv", n.d.

Theme Song

*Alinlangan was sung by Jolina

Wag mo na itanong sa isipan mo Kung ikaw ay minamahal ko Pakinggan ang tibok ng iyong puso Ano ang sabi nya sa yo
Lagi kang babantayan Magmula sa kalangitan Ang lahat ng iyong mga alinlangan Ay yong malilimutan
Wag mo nang tanungin ang iyong puso Kung ano ang nadarama mo Ang lahat ng mga kapangyarihan ko Bunga ng pagmamahal mo
Lagi kang babantayan Magmula sa kalangitan Ang lahat ng iyong mga alinlangan Ay yong malilimutan
Kung hindi dahil sa yo Di ko mamahalin ang buhay Sa isang saglit kung kailangan mo Buhay koy iaalay
Harangan man ng apoy Kahit malunod ng alon Lahat malalampasan para lang Sa iyo
Lagi kang babantayan Magmula sa kalangitan Ang lahat ng iyong mga alinlangan Ay yong malilimutan
Kung hindi dahil sa yo Di ko mamahalin ang buhay Sa isang saglit kung kailangan mo Buhay koy iaalay
Ang lahat ng iyong mga alinlangan Ay yong malilimutan
