Love Thy Woman

This new drama series premiered in the Philippines on February 10, 2020, replacing the popular 'Kadenang Ginto' on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Gold afternoon block. It stars Christopher de Leon, Kim Chiu, Xian Lim, Eula Valdez, and Sunshine Cruz. The drama explores the duplicitous polarity of love and betrayal in the Filipino-Chinese community.

The show's future was questioned after one of its cast members tested positive for COVID-19. Because of the aforementioned reasons, ABS-CBN had to temporarily cancel the show and place select cast members under self-quarantine. The National Telecommunications Commission, however, overruled ABS-CBN's decision to temporarily halt the show's airing. However, the show will be back on June 15, 2020, on Kapamilya Channel.

Anna Liza

In the year 2013, there were already a handful of deaths of Anna Liza cast members on Philippine television shows. The show was created by director Jojo Pangilinan, whose work spanned several genres, including family dramas. However, she declined the title role for Flor de Luna because of scheduling conflicts with school and acting. Despite her absence from the show, Vega did make several appearances on television.

The teleserye based on the popular Cebu radio drama of the 1970s, Anna Liza was a huge hit when it debuted on GMA Network. Directed by Gil C. Soriano, the show was a huge hit, garnering the attention of thousands of Filipinos. Though she was the main character, she had a rival in the RPN soap Flordeluna. Despite their rivalry onscreen, the two actresses were still good friends off-screen.
