This was also the last original Kapamilya series to air on Kapamilya Gold, and the only one to be produced during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines and the aftermath of the shutdown of ABS-CBN until the back-to-back premieres of Pira-Pirasong Paraiso and Nag-aapoy na Damdamin.

Plot

Diana was overwhelmed with grief after being denied a medical operation on her newborn child, resulting in the baby's death. She then sets out to inflict those she claims to be responsible for her child's death: the Veradonas. Thus, Joanna Magbanua and Catherine Veradona were the infants switched by Diana in the nursery at Buencorazon Hospital. It is later revealed that she swapped two more infants the same night: Raphael Florentino and Eduardo Ponce.

The Magbanuas, Veradonas, and Florentinos eventually learn that their infants were switched at the hospital, changing the courses of their lives upon learning of their children's true identities.

The series was later renamed to Bagong Umaga.[3] From March 29–31 and April 5, 2021, the series aired replays under the title Bagong Umaga: Rewind.

Notes
  • The fictional family, The Magbanuas consisting Monica(Nikki Valdez), Jose(Keempee de Leon), Tisay(Heaven Peralejo), Dodong(Yves Flores), and Angge(Michelle Vito) which are poor but happy family were compared to Abiogs in which consisting Osang(Sunshine Dizon), Badong(Epy Quizon), Baby/Aimee(Loisa Andalio), Hilary(Ellise Joson), & Kano(Markus Paterson) that they are miserable family.
  • The six young adults were separated to three couples; Tisay & Ely, Angge & Otep, and Dodong & Cai were developed to Diana & Vlad, Beth & Elon, and Aimee & Jonaf. However Ronnie Alonte and Loisa Andalio which they portrayed as Aimee & Jonaf are backed out alongside with Julia Barretto and Marco Gumabao since their project with Tony Labrusca for this series.
  • Diana Silang-Jacinta(Glydel Mercado), the cunning mother of Otep(Kiko Estrada) that frames up the Veradonas consisting Maggie(Sunshine Cruz) and Ian(Cris Villanueva) that they are responsible behind all crime incidents is similarity to Jacinda Sebastian-Lamadrid(Snooky Serna) that frames up Diana Paraiso-Lamadrid(Charlie Dizon) behind the death of Julius Lamadrid(Art Acuña) and Amanda Barrameda(Maricel Soriano).
  • Nikki Valdez since the conclusion of Bagong Umaga has now on Pira-Pirasong Paraiso as Carlota Barrameda.

Timeslot block

This was the first and only series to be aired on Kapamilya Gold (on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z) in the aftermath of the ABS-CBN shutdown and franchise denial, amidst the then-lingering restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. This was also the only series to not be aired on TV5 following the signing of the blocktime agreement with the network in 2021 (which only covered the Primetime Bida lineup in airing ABS-CBN drama series on TV5 from March 8, 2021, until the return of the Kapamilya Gold lineup on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z and the premiere of the said afternoon lineup on TV5 on July 25, 2023)

Following its conclusion, its timeslot was eventually filled by reruns of previously aired ABS-CBN drama series (starting with Dolce Amore) until the block's return to fresh offerings on July 25, 2023, with the series, Pira-Pirasong Paraiso, a collaboration between the network and TV5 that would occupy its previous timeslot, along with Nag-aapoy na Damdamin.
