For the first time, "Sine Novela" presents the back-to-back premiere of two series: "Kaya Kong Abutin ang Langit" and "Tinik sa Dibdib" on September 28.

Featuring much-awarded actress Sunshine Dizon and multi-faceted actress Iza Calzado, the back-to-back TV series will surely fire up the afternoons as the shows bring to light the struggle of two women to escape poverty as they search for happiness and try to fulfill their dreams.

Occupying the first timeslot is "Sine Novela Presents: Kaya Kong Abutin ang Langit" where Pinay Hollywood actress Iza Calzado plays the role of Clarissa Rosales, an impoverished social climber who will do everything to raise her status. This was the character originally played by Maricel Soriano in the Maryo J. delos Reyes masterpiece in 1984.

In the story, Clarissa vows to become rich to help her mother Naty (Lani Mercado) and her sister Nancy (Angelika dela Cruz). The opportunity knocks on their door one day when the Gardamonte couple, employer of Clarissa's deceased father, decides to help them.

Clarissa will use her charm to win the hearts of Ralph (Ricardo Cepeda) and Monina (Pinky Amador) who will soon treat her as one of their family members. But this causes the ire of the couple's only daughter Therese (Isabel Oli). Clarissa also sets her sights on Therese's boyfriend Daryll (Wendell Ramos).

With Iza in "Kaya Kong Abutin ang Langit" are Bobby Andrews, Paolo Paraiso, Ryan Yllana, Victor Aliwalas and Peter Serrano. It is directed by Topel Lee.

"Tinik sa Dibdib" occupies the second timeslot. It features Sunshine Dizon as Lorna, a woman who longs for freedom, happiness and a normal life. Superstar Nora Aunor portrayed the role of Lorna in the film directed by Leroy Salvador in 1985.

Under the direction of Gil Tejada Jr., "Tinik sa Dibdib" unveils the plight of Lorna whose father, Tiburcio (Bembol Roco), is a drunkard and a womanizer while her mother, Candida (Daria Ramirez), is sick and weak-willed.

To avoid exasperating domestic problems, she agrees to work as a stay-in helper in a beauty parlor where she meets Lando (Marvin Agustin). Soon, they fall in love and marry.

But she discovers that living with Lando is harder than being with her own family. From the day she sets foot in Lando's house, she has always been in bad terms with his stepmother Trixie (Ara Mina) while his sister, Moret (Michelle Madrigal), keeps telling her to move out.

Later, a dark secret will be exposed that will ruin the marriage she considers the only source of her happiness.

Also in "Tinik sa Dibdib" are Deborah Sun, Maybelyn dela Cruz, Jen Rosendahl, Rico Barrera and Miguel Tanfelix.
