Bituing Walang Ningning (lit. Star without a Sparkle) is a Filipino television serial drama. It began airing on ABS-CBN on May 15, 2006, and ended on October 6 that year. For most of its run, the soap opera was the network's highest rating show in primetime. The station referred to the TV series as Sineserye, meaning Movie Serialized TV Series.
The series was supposed to end on September 25, 2006 but ended on October 6, 2006 due to coverage of the special concert staged at the Araneta Coliseum and a taped interview for the series on September 19 and also rehearsals, tapings and dubbings which were occurred during the run. The finale was in five parts for its finale week and also introduced its current primetime series Maging Sino Ka Man with its pilot episode moved to a different timeslot and would also be the replacement of the phenomenal TV series. On October 8, 2006, a "Himig of Pasasalamat Concert" was staged at the Araneta with all of the characters which was also televised live. The series also showed a glimpse of behind the scenes footage and also sung the themes from its successful album produced by Star Records and Viva Records. Although, it was said that some parts of the series was supposed to also be produced by Viva such as songs sung by Sarah Geronimo herself and the theme of the song was originally popularized by Sharon Cuneta in the film. This was Carlo Aquino's final appearance of the show before moving to its rival network GMA 7 the following month.
The story started as a serialised comic strip by Nerissa Cabral. It was adapted into a movie in 1985 with the same title by Viva Films, directed by Emmanuel H. Borlaza and starred Sharon Cuneta as Dorina Pineda, Cherie Gil as Lavinia Arguelles, and Christopher de Leon as Nico Escobar. It was produced by Vic del Rosario, Jr.. The film became an instant hit, quickly developing a cult following and produced the popular line ""You're nothing but a second-rate, trying hard copycat!", uttered in the film by Lavinia.
