Kadenang Ginto (International title: The Heiress / transl. Golden Chain) is a 2018 Philippine drama revenge television series broadcast by ABS-CBN. Directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng, it stars Francine Diaz, Andrea Brillantes, Beauty Gonzalez, Dimples Romana, Albert Martinez, Louise Abuel, Adrian Alandy and Richard Yap. The series was aired on the network's Kapamilya Gold afternoon block and worldwide via The Filipino Channel from October 8, 2018 to February 7, 2020, replacing Asintado, and was replaced by Love Thy Woman.

The series proved to be a huge hit in the Philippines on the late 2018 and on to the whole 2019. It is one of a few daytime television dramas to last for more than a year due to maintaining high viewership. The rivalry of Cassie and Marga (Francine Diaz and Andrea Brillantes) and Romina and Daniela (Beauty Gonzales and Dimples Romana), four of the series' main characters, became a trending topic nationwide. Furthermore, a scene which featured Daniela (Dimples Romana) wearing a red dress while pulling a luggage bag became viral on various social media platforms, helping Romana's popularity and career reach new heights. In addition, one of the most famous lines in the show, "Cassie, ‘di ka muna papasok sa school." (lit. 'Cassie, you’re not going to school for now.') – uttered by Daniela – easily became the show's catchphrase among the viewers. The show also launched the loveteams of Brillantes and Seth Fedelin (SethDrea/MarKoy) and Diaz and Kyle Echarri (KyCine/CassToff), collectively known as The Gold Squad.

Premise

Kadenang Ginto is the story of Romina Andrada (Beauty Gonzalez), a secretary turned wife of business tycoon Robert Mondragon (Albert Martinez), who married her even though she was raped and was carrying the child of the assailant. Unknown to Romina, it was Daniela (Dimples Romana), Robert's daughter, who had orchestrated her abduction right before seducing Romina's fiancé, Carlos Bartolome (Adrian Alandy). With their lives intertwined, their daughters, Cassandra (Francine Diaz) and Margaret (Andrea Brillantes), are made to fight as to who is the rightful heiress to Robert's empire.[2]

Broadcast

Kadenang Ginto premiered on October 8, 2018, on ABS-CBN.[4] The series was the network's second longest-running afternoon drama series of the 2010s with a total of 348 episodes.

In 2020, it re-aired on the newly launched Kapamilya Channel via pay cable and satellite, under the title Kadenang Ginto: The Golden Comeback from August 22, 2020, to May 1, 2021, every weekend.[12] However, on May 8, 2021, the re-run of the series was replaced by the extension of Kapamilya Action Sabado and the re-run of Philippine television series, Parasite Island, Hiwaga ng Kambat, Uncoupling, and We Rise Together. As a result, the remaining episodes until the finale moved to Jeepney TV from May 3, 2021, to March 18, 2022.
