Marinara is a Philippine drama-fantasy-comedy series produced by GMA Network and directed by Enrico Quizon and Soxy Topacio. Dubbed as the first "Kwelanovela", Marinara was launched June 21, 2004 as part of the network's 54th anniversary.

Synopsis

Legend has it that three sisters will be born in the midst of raging storm. When this happens, chaos will ensue. In order to prevent this, Marie, Dolphina and Aira must be separated from each other. But as they grow up, they find their lives swimming against the tide. According to the same prophecy, one of the triplets is destined to become the queen of "Laot-Daot", or the kingdom of the mermaids and other half-human half-sea-creatures. In order to fulfill the prophecy, she first has to find her sisters.

Main cast

Rufa Mae Quinto as Marie/Dolphina/Aira - Marie is the conservative firstborn who strives to finish school and at the same time earn a living to help her beloved adoptive mother. Aira, is the flashy and brand-conscious spoiled brat who dreams of becoming a big star someday. And as Dolphina, she is the mermaid who pursues the goal of finding her two other sisters amidst being captured and being made the star attraction in a local fair. The triplets are born one stormy midnight when lightning and thunder broke the silence and roaring winds sent the sea in turmoil—all the superstitious elements of a bad omen.
