Philippine TV’s Daytime Queen Jodi Sta. Maria portrays dual character for the first time in “Sana Dalawa Ang Puso”

Three of the biggest stars in the industry today - Robin Padilla, Richard Yap, and Jodi Sta. Maria - stage one of the biggest comebacks on Philippine television as they team up for the first time and star in ABS-CBN’s newest teleserye, “Sana Dalawa Ang Puso”, which can be seen outside the Philippines via The Filipino Channel (TFC) beginning January 29 (Manila time) and streaming simulcast its Philippine airing via TFC online (www.TFC.tv) in key countries worldwide.

Sta. Maria is thrilled to be playing dual roles for the first time. “It was not an easy task for me, but at the same time I’m excited to do this”, she says about her role. “This is one of the most challenging roles I have ever done in my career”, the actress adds.

Also, from their hit morning series “Be Careful with my Heart” that aired back in 2012, Daytime Queen and King, Jodi Sta. Maria and Richard Yap reunite on television with new roles that will again endear themselves viewers.

In an interview with ABS-CBN news program “TV Patrol,” Richard Yap shared that he was thrilled when he found out that he will be working with Jodi Sta. Maria again for another project. “I’ve always wanted to do another show with Jodi because she is fun to be with and she is a great actress”, he said.

Meantime, fresh from the success of his blockbuster movie “Unexpectedly Yours,” Robin Padilla finally stages his soap opera comeback after his last stint in “Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw” in 2013.

Familiar with the massive following of the JoChard loveteam, the Idol ng bayan Bayan opted to formalize things between him and Richard Yap.

“I went to Papa Chen (Richard Yap) and asked permission if I can join them,” Robin Padilla revealed. He also jested, “I have been watching them since I was a kid and I’m amazed by Jodi Sta Maria’s beauty.”

“Sana Dalawa ang Puso” follows the story of Lisa and Mona (both portrayed by Sta. Maria), two different people with identical faces but are both facing big ordeals in their lives.

Lisa is known to be a strict and hardworking boss in their family business, the Laureano Group of Companies. However, her world suddenly turns upside down when her father, Juancho Laureano (Christopher de Leon), betrothed her to their rival’s son, Martin Co (Richard Yap). For her to be able to run away from the responsibility, she decides to hide and live with one of their workers, Leo Tabayoyong (Robin Padilla).

Her doppelganger Mona, on the other hand, who works as a collector of bets in cockfights, is struggling to save his father from peril after the latter got involved in a networking scam.

What will happen when the two cross paths? Will they be able to solve each other’s problems?

“Sana Dalawa Ang Puso” is produced by Star Creatives, the production group behind successful series like “Lobo,” “Imortal,” “Got to Believe,” “Pangako Sa Yo,” “Forevermore,” “Dolce Amore,” “Pusong Ligaw,” and “A Love to Last," and "La Luna Sangre.”
