One of the first shows that had a tapatan or rivalry theme was the iconic ABS-CBN series, Mara Clara, headlined by Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes. Dahil nga isa ito sa mga naunang serye na naging iconic, tinawag pa itong "Ina ng Pinoy Soap Opera" ng Kapamilya network when it had a remake in 2010 headlined by Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes.

With a revitalized storyline to fit the modern times, naging iconic on its own din ang Mara Clara 2010, especially when it comes to the confrontation scenes between the new Mara and Clara!
