It was TV executive Marcial Sanson who thought of turning “Gulong ng Palad” into a daytime soap at BBC 2.“I was assigned to be the writer,” said Virina. “I must say that the story I wrote for the TV series had many similarities to my life.

“Pero, ngayon, natural na magiging iba na ang takbo ng istorya ng ‘Gulong ng Palad,’ bagamat its old plot is retained. It is still a love story kaya I’m hopeful that it will equal the popularity of the old ‘Gulong ng Palad,’ which also aired for seven years on television.”

It was also Sanson who penned the Tagalog lyrics of the “Gulong ng Palad” theme song, which was based on a French song called “Emmanuel.”
