Sheryl Cruz and Ciara Sotto Plays Young Manang Henya and Donya Margaret in Walang Hanggan

Sheryl Cruz and Ciara Sotto will be joining the cast of the phenomenal Walang Hanggan as the show enters its last few weeks.

The two singer-actresses will be playing the young Manang Henya (Susan Roces) and Donya Margaret (Helen Gamboa) in the top-rating series.

The casting of Sheryl and Ciara as the younger versions of sisters Virginia (Henya) and Margaret is a very good choice since these two are truly related to Susan and Helen. Sheryl Cruz is Susan's niece while Ciara Sotto, as we all know, is the daughter of Helen Gamboa.

ABS-CBN correspondent Marie Lozano posted the photo above on Twitter saying that these is a part of a pivotal scene in Walang Hanggan. The flash back would probably dig deeper into the relationship as sisters of Henya and Margaret and what causes the hate in Margaret's heart.

Also shown in the photo are veteran actors Mark Gil and Melissa Mendez, who will portray the parents of both Henya and Margaret.

Walang Hanggan is even more exciting now that it nears its finale so don't miss the big revelations weeknights after Princess and I on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.
