Rod Santiago's The Sisters is a 2011 Philippine television drama series broadcast by TV5. The series is based of a 1987 Philippine film at the same title. Directed by Joyce Bernal and Argel Joseph, it stars Nadine Samonte, Leandro Muñoz, James Blanco, Wendell Ramos and Victor Silayan. It aired from July 18 to September 9, 2011, replacing Babaeng Hampaslupa and was replaced by Ang Utol Kong Hoodlum. The show marks Samonte's[1] first project in TV5.

Synopsis

It features the compelling story of twins Cristina and Bella Santiago whose relationship is put to the test with the consequences of their personal choices and the obstacles that fate brings their way.

Story

The Santiago twins Bella and Cristina (both portrayed by Nadine Samonte) may look exactly alike, but beneath their identical faces lies an extreme difference that entails their twisted fate. Cristina and Bella will also fall prey to the scheming ways of their vindictive aunt Socorro (Rio Locsin), who will stop at nothing to take everything from the sisters and their family. This new primetime series also brings back one of the most talented actors and sought after leading men to popular dramatic actresses, Leandro Muñoz. Portraying the role of the twins’ childhood friend Rafael, his character will be enmeshed in a complicated love triangle that will greatly affect the bond between the two sisters.
