Komiks Presents: Mars Ravelo's Nasaan Ka Maruja (lit. Where Are You Maruja?) is an ABS-CBN weekly mini-series format adapted from the 1967 movie Maruja originally starred by Susan Roces with Romeo Vasquez and also played by Carmina Villaroel in the same title film in 1996. It remake again in 1978 by Phillip Salvador and Susan Roces played again the character of Maruja in the film "Gumising Ka Maruja" (Wake Up Maruja). This is one of the masterpieces of Mars Ravelo.
Maruja is one of Mars Ravelo's masterpieces. He first published it in komiks during the 50s. In 1967, the first film entitled Maruja was released starring the Queen of Philippine Movies, Susan Roces. The movie was remade in 1978 with the title Gumising Ka Maruja. After almost two decades Maruja was once again remade in 1996, starring Carmina Villaroel as Maruja.
In 2007, ABS-CBN bought the rights to make Maruja into a TV series. Maruja was supposed to be included in Sineserye Presents: The Susan Roces Cinema Collection, which featured Susan Roces' most classical films. It was supposed to star Sheryl Cruz and Ruffa Gutierrez. But even before production began, the Ravelos stated that Mars Ravelo's name should be included in the title because Maruja is his work and not the movie firm's. ABS-CBN then decided to put the show's production on hold until the problem was fixed. A year later, ABS-CBN then released Nasaan Ka Maruja? as part of Komiks Presents which featured Mars Ravelos masterpieces. New actors and actresses were also involved in the project, because of some problems.
Cristy dreams of a certain couple, Maruja and Gabriel, who had a hard time being together because of their different status in life. They were both killed after getting married. Little did Cristy know that she and Ross, her half sister's fiance, would bring back to life the unfinished love story of Maruja & Gabriel.
