Gulong ng Palad (International title: Stand for Love /) is a classic Filipino TV tearjerker started as a radio drama aired on DZRH from 1949 to 1956, created by writer Lina Flor. When it was revived as a TV soap aired on BBC/City2 from 1977 to 1979 then reverted to the same channel from 1983 to 1985 and RPN from 1979 to 1983.[1]
That was the soap that made a four-year-old child named Romnick Sarmenta an overnight star. He so immersed himself in his character as the Little Peping that televiewers empathize with him.[2] Other members of the cast were Marian dela Riva and Ronald Corveau as Luisa and Carding (they became a real-life couple and have since separated, with Marian now happily remarried and living in the US),[3] Caridad Sanchez as Aling Idad and Augusto Victa as Mang Tomas.
A remake was created by ABS-CBN starring Kristine Hermosa and TJ Trinidad and aired from January 9 to May 12, 2006.
