Pangako Sa 'Yo (Lit: Promise to You / English: The Promise) is a primetime soap opera series produced and broadcast by the Philippine television network ABS-CBN. It is dubbed the first "teleserye" on Philippine television. It starred Kristine Hermosa and Jericho Rosales. The soap, which ran from November 13, 2000 to September 20, 2002, spanned 486 episodes at 30 minutes each then replaced by Bituin. The show posted an all-time high rating of 64.9% during its September 2002 series finale, posting the country's second highest rating for any episode by a TV series next to Esperanza and Labs Ko Si Babe, and the highest rated finale episode for any Filipino TV series.
The story begins with the romance between Amor de Jesus (Eula Valdez) and Eduardo Buenavista (Tonton Gutierrez). Eduardo's mother, Doña Benita (Liza Lorena), opposes the relationship since Amor was a housemaid and because she wanted Eduardo to marry Claudia Zalameda (Jean Garcia) for political reasons. Doña Benita asked Eduardo's brother, Diego (Jestoni Alarcon), who has a crush on Amor, to separate them. On seeing Diego trying to rape Amor, Eduardo mistook it as them having a relationship, breaking his heart and prompting him to marry Claudia. A now-pregnant Amor is banished from the Buenavista hacienda, and she returns to living with her mother at the dumpsite. She vows revenge on the Buenavista family when she finds out that Eduardo has married Claudia.
