Synopsis

Ka Ina tells the story of two women linked by superstition, magic, and their relationship with one man. Catalina Miranda is an engineer educated in Europe; Maniña Yerichana is a jungle priestess born to a Dutch gold digger and a Yanomami woman. Catalina and Maniña become rivals over Ricardo Leon, a man from the capital city. Although they appear to be the same age, Maniña and Catalina are mother and daughter, a fact that is not widely known. The story incorporates elements of folklore and legends.

International Broadcast

This was the only Hispanic telenovela dubbed in English & Cebuano version in the Philippines, broadcast by Citynet Television (now named GTV) & GMA Cebu and Davao. In Citynet, it was dubbed in English through the trends of playing Japanese sci-fi TV series dubbed in English. After Ka Ina ended in Citynet as the first English-dubbed Hispanic telenovela in the said country, Citynet never borrowed any telenovela to be dubbed in English.
