Mara Clara

Mara Clara is a Philippine television drama series broadcast by ABS-CBN. Starring Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes, it aired on the network's afternoon line up from August 17, 1992 to February 14, 1997, replacing Sebya, Mahal Kita and was replaced by Esperanza. It is the second longest running drama series of ABS-CBN (after FPJ's Ang Probinsyano).

The title is derived from María Clara, the mestiza heroine of José Rizal's Noli Me Tángere. It is a first release from Dreamscape Entertainment upon its establishment in 1992.

This series is streaming online on YouTube.

In a shocking turn of events at birth, Mara (Judy Ann Santos) and Clara (Gladys Reyes) were secretly switched, a deception meticulously documented in the diary of hospital staff member Kardo (Dan Fernandez).

The fateful day began with Almira and Susan giving birth. Tragedy struck when Kardo accidentally caused the death of one of Susan's twins. To conceal his grave error, Kardo covertly swapped Almira's newborn with Susan's deceased infant, leading Amanthe to mistakenly believe their own daughter had died. Seizing this opportunity, Gary took his surviving baby and placed her with the affluent Del Valle family.

This intricate web of lies resulted in Mara, Almira's biological daughter, being raised in poverty by Susan (Susan Africa) and Gary Davis (Eruel Tongco). Meanwhile, Clara, Susan and Gary's true daughter, grew up in wealth under the care of Amanthe (Juan Rodrigo) and Almira Del Valle (Beverly Vergel), setting the stage for a life of mistaken identities and concealed truths.

The benevolent Del Valle couple unknowingly take in their biological daughter, Mara, as a servant and fund her education. This act aligns with their family's reputation for generosity and extensive philanthropic work, particularly in supporting orphanages. Beyond their charitable endeavors, the Castillo-Del Valle family also prospers in their publishing and car manufacturing businesses.

Meanwhile, Gary (Eruel Tongco), a notorious gang and syndicate leader, approves of Mara living with the Del Valles, intending to extort money from them. As Mara navigates her new life, Clara, the Del Valle's adopted daughter, makes her life exceedingly difficult.
