This was the sixth installment of Sine Novela.[1] The original movie was released back in 1987. It was aired worldwide on GMA Life TV.
The original movie, directed by the late legendary director Lino Brocka, had 4 nominations & also gave Lorna Tolentino another acting award for her role as Rosita Monteverde. For the TV remake, GMA writers wanted the series to be fit for TV so they extended the storyline by adding new elements that were never seen in the original movie and also added characters to make the story more meaningful, but they agreed with VIVA Films that they will retain the original elements of the movie. Katrina Halili was the personal choice of Lorna Tolentino to reprise the latter's movie role as Rosita in the series.[2] Due to Jennylyn Mercados pregnancy, she and boyfriend Patrick Garcia decided to drop out of the cast.[3] Nadine Samonte and Polo Ravales were chosen as their replacement.[4]

Maging Akin Ka Lamang unveils the intertwined lives of four people: Elsa Paruel (Nadine Samonte), a travel agent; Andy Abrigo (Polo Ravales), an ambitious OFW architect; Rosita Monteverde (Isabel Oli), a wealthy brat; and Ernie Balboa (Carlo Aquino), a businessman.
Elsa is an orphan working as a travel agent when she accidentally meets Andy, with whom she instantly falls in love. But rich heiress Rosita, Andy's childhood friend who is obsessed with him, will do everything to have the architect for herself. Rosita seduces him and they have a one-night stand. When Rosita's father, Augusto (Juan Rodrigo), finds out about his daughter's affair with Andy, his secretary's son, he sends Andy abroad. Afraid that Don Augusto will fire his mom Aida (Dexter Doria) from work, Andy has no choice but to go, leaving Elsa heartbroken.
But true love can wait. After five years, Andy returns and rekindles his romance with Elsa and eventually gets married. Andy and Elsa's marriage leaves Rosita devastated and vengeful.
