Coney Reyes on Camera was a weekly drama anthology that aired from 1984 to 1998 in 2 networks (ABS-CBN and RPN) and became the longest running drama anthology in Philippine TV history until ABS-CBN's Maalaala Mo Kaya broke the record in 2011. Coney Reyes was the host, lead star, actress and producer.
The drama anthology stars Coney herself. Aside from her, her alternates to play protagonist/central role for some episodes are Jaclyn Jose and Gina Alajar (two of the most respectable award-winning actresses).
In her program's episodes, Coney had been working with major celebrities such as Vic Sotto, Vilma Santos, Helen Vela, Aiza Seguerra, German Moreno, Aga Muhlach and Judy Ann Santos, among others. Kris Aquino (daughter of the late and former President Corazon Aquino), and Michelle van Eimeren (Miss Australia Universe 1994), also appeared on the show in separate episodes. One of the most unforgettable episodes was the reunion episode with Vilma Santos and Tina Revilla Valencia in 1994 as a special tribute to the late Helen Vela.
The roots of Coney's drama anthology was the Coney Reyes-Mumar Drama Studio, produced by Eddie Ilarde's Program Philippines and aired every Saturday on GMA after the hit noontime variety show Student Canteen (also produced by Program Philippines), where Coney was a co-host. However, in 1982, Coney moved to Student Canteen's rival show Eat Bulaga!, then airing on RPN. Drama Studio continued with former beauty queen Chat Silayan (deceased) as its main star. Silayan, along with Chiqui Hollmann, also replaced Coney on Canteen.
