Amazing Jing for Life: BOSSING VIC SOTTO DID IT AGAIN in VALIENTE

BOSSING VIC SOTTO DID IT AGAIN in VALIENTE

Twenty-years have passed when Vic “Bossing” Sotto did the original soundtrack of Valiente tv series that aired for five years in two different networks. The legendary and one of the Top 10 “Most Memorable” teleseryes, started in ABS-CBN last 1992 under TAPE productions and it ran until 1995. Disagreement between the said network and TAPE productions had aroused, leaving the latter no option but to transfer to another network. The said tv series continued to air in GMA from 1995 until 1997.

As of today, the remake of Valiente is TV5’s biggest offering for this year. Under the direction of Joel Lamangan, it is making a grand comeback to capture once more the hearts of Filipinos who grew up watching the series as well as the new generation of viewers who would relate to the classic story two decades after.

“Bossing” did the Valiente theme song again, with the original lyrics and script done by highly acclaimed scriptwriter Gina Marissa Tagasa. We’ve learned from Mr. Rams David, head of production that “bossing” had finished recording the song with (whoaaa!) no “talent fee” at all. I’d like to commend him for that very generous gesture, and another noticeable point about him which I really couldn’t help but express; was his very remarkable voice that remains eternal even after 20 years, it’s incomparable ;-)

Oyo Sotto as Theo Braganza

Oyo Sotto plays Theo Braganza in the story who establishes admirable friendship with JC De Vera who plays Gardo Valiente who’s torn by the vicious schemes of Theo’s ruthless mother, Doña Trining Braganza (Jaclyn Jose).

Michael de Mesa

What’s more unique and ironic in this teleserye was they have managed to unite the four Eigenmanns: Mark Gil, Gina Alajar, of course Jaclyn Jose and the original Valiente himself, Michael de Mesa. Joining the respected actors were Nadine Samonte (Maila Braganza) as Gardo’s love interest and Niña Jose (Leona), Maila’s cunning sister who is willing to get in the way of her sister’s relationship with Gardo for she desires him that much incidentally.

The said tv series introduces a new set of promising young stars who will endear themselves to the viewers: Ross Persigan (young Gardo), Liane Valentino (young Maila), Czarina Suzara (young Leona) and Arvic Rivero (young Theo). Also part of the cast are fine actors John Regala (Peping), Jim Pebanco (Ariston) and Toni Mabesa (Victorino Penitente).
