"This collection comprises of 4 screenplays: one on Darna, two on Dyesebel and another one in Maruja. All of them have been commissioned by VIVA films but only two have been utilized for production:"Darna!" was directed by Joel Lamangan in 1991 with Nanette Medved in the title role and was a huge box-office hit at Metro Manila Film Festival where it was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay and lost in all nominations; and "Dyesebel," was directed by Emmanuel Borlaza in 1995 with Charlene Gonzalez, in the title role and did quite well at the box-office. "Maruja" was also filmed in 1995 under the direction of Jose Javier Reyes who preferred his own script version of the Mars Ravelo tragic heroine more than the one in this collection and starred the love team of Carmina Villaroel and Rustom Padilla" -Excerpts from the Foreword.
