MANILA - The original stars of the classic soap opera "Mara Clara" reunited on Saturday, leaving many fans waxing nostalgic.

The 1990s show made household names out of child actresses Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes, who played two girls switched at birth.

Santos' soft-spoken character Mara led the slum life that was meant for Reyes' villainous character, Clara.

Reyes shared on Instagram a photo of her with Santos and co-stars Christopher Roxas, who is now her husband, and Wowie de Guzman.

The photo was taken at a reunion party for the cast. Also present were Paolo Contis, Angelika dela Cruz, Susan Africa, Eagle Rigg, Debbie Espileta, Juan Rodrigo, Jochelle Olalia, and Minnie Aguilar.

Beloved by Filipinos, the Emil Cruz-created drama ran for five years. It spawned a film adaptation in 1996 and a remake starring Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes six years ago.

The teleserye first aired as part of ABS-CBN's afternoon block, but was later moved to primetime to challenge the Mexican telenovela "Marimar."

Santos' evident onscreen chemistry with De Guzman led to them topbilling their own series, "Esperanza."
