Mundo Man Ay Magunaw (lit. Even If the World Ends) is a Philippine television drama on ABS-CBN. It aired from January 30, 2012 to July 13, 2012. It stars Empress Schuck, Ejay Falcon and Nikki Gil. The series is loosely based on the 1990 film starring Susan Roces, Nida Blanca, Alicia Vergel, Dante Rivero, Michael Locsin, Jennifer Sevilla, Sheryl Cruz and Romnick Sarmenta of Seiko Films in the same title. The full trailer was shown on January 10. The television series was supposed to be aired in the Kapamilya Gold afternoon block. However It aired on late morning/early noon time slot at 11:30 a.m. before Happy Yipee Yehey!. On February 6, ABS-CBN moved the show to its new time slot at 2:30 pm on Kapamilya Gold, airing after It's Showtime.
The series uses some of the story sequences from the serialized version on the radio drama in the late 1980s on DZRH as anchored by Salvador Royales himself.
After the success of the afternoon dramas Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos? and Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal?, ABS-CBN decided the next "sineserye" would be Mundo Man ay Magunaw. It served as Eula Valdez's comeback to portraying dramatic roles. She recently played the main antagonist Selina Pereira-Matias†, an iconic role first played by Filipina actress, Princess Punzalan. Eula's hit role in the remake Mula Sa Puso got her praise because she last played villain and protagonist in 2000's Pangako sa ’Yo as the iconic Amor Powers. Her last protagonist role was in the remake of Maria Flordeluna, where she played Jo Esperitu, immortalized by Laurice Guillen in the original Flor de Luna. ABS-CBN wanted her to play Olivia La Pena, a role which was played by popular veteran actress Susan Roces. She accepted the role in a conference in October 2011, and filming began in December 2011.
