{{Inappropriate tone|section|date=August 2009}}
David "JR" Garcia, Jr. (Anderson) was born into a poor family. His father, David Garcia Sr. (Faustman), deserted his mother, Marlene (Picache) before he was born because his wife, Ingrid Garcia (Isidro) was pregnant with David "Dave" Garcia, Jr. (Cuenca). When Audrey King (Chiu) and her family went to ] for a visit, she fell from a set of high stairs. If it wasn't for David "JR" Garcia Jr., she probably would have died. She asked for the young boy's name and the boy introduced himself as David Garcia, Jr. When she gets to the hospital and is asked by the witnesses and her family who saved her, she says it's David Garcia, Jr. but David "Dave" Garcia Jr. was credited for it. Audrey did not realize that he is a different boy.


When Audrey King and her family go to ] for a visit, she falls from a set of high stairs. JR saves her life and introduces himself as David Garcia Jr. after she asks for his name without seeing what he looked like. When Audrey is admitted to the emergency room and is asked by the witnesses and her family who saved her, she remembers the name David Garcia Jr. - however, Dave is given the credit instead of JR.
As she grows up falling in love with Dave, Dave meets his best friend and later on, his brother, JR. Their families did not approve of the friendship. Dave's family thought that JR just wanted to use Dave for money purposes. Dave & JR's mother's would not let the two hang out. But their father allowed the friendship to continue, because there was something about JR that David Sr. liked. Dave's grandmother, Elizabeth (Gamboa), suspects and so does JR's mother, Marlene, but nothing stops these two from becoming best friends. When everyone found out that Dave & JR are siblings, the family rivalry became worse. Elizabeth, Dave's grandmother did everything to make sure that the news about the siblings won't come out. She lied and schemed for Marlene, JR's mother, to go to jail. Audrey's father then sent her to Cebu to continue her studies until such time that JR met Audrey in the airport. He feels like he has seen her before, but does not realize who she is. When Dave and JR were sent to the ], they started to get competitive with each other, in academics, and for their true love. When they finally got into battle, will brotherhood save them both, or will envy leave them both to die? Audrey has grown up in love with the wrong person, but when she realizes who her true savior is, she is able to return her love. She agrees to marry Dave, but this ends in a 'divorce' when they found out their marriage is a fake. Audrey then marries JR and with him has a son, Adrian. But it is revealed that she has a sickness of the heart and in the end Audrey dies because of her worsening heart condition, leaving only JR all by himself with Adrian, sacrificing herself for her son to live. On its ending, Ramon summons himself to prison for him to pay for his wrongdoings upon the request of his distraught mother. Accidentally, Ingrid (who was not in her right state of mind) shoots Ramon using a gun. Ramon was hit near to his eyes and has undergone operations, after the said operation, he was already blind.<ref></ref> Ingrid is then turned in to a mental hospital by Dave, and Ramon is sentenced to life imprisonment. However, he hs accepted his fate, has made up with Marlene and JR, and acknowledged Dave as a brother, who acknowledged him back. The three now live together with Adrian, Ula, and Angela, visiting Ramon frequently. It seems to be a happy ending, but a scene is shown of someone cutting pictures of the main characters, then holding up a picture of Marlene. This is later revealed to be Emmy Garcia, a third wife of David Garcia Sr., who introduces her son, named David Anthony Garcia III to Marlene, JR, and Dave.

== Cast ==

Audrey's father, Stanley Sr., sends her to Cebu to continue her studies. JR and Audrey have a chance encounter in the airport. Dave and JR enter the ] where they graduate at the top of their class. The family rivalry worsens as everyone finds out that Dave and JR are half-siblings when David Sr. appears on graduation day. Elizabeth exerts all efforts to cover up the truth to the point that she engineers Marlene's imprisonment. David Sr. is killed by gun smuggling boss Leo Cardenas during a robbery on his armory on the suggestion of Ramon Lecumberri, JR's estranged older half-brother. It is followed by more events such as the death of Audrey's mother Loretta after giving birth to her last child Robert, Ramon killing Leo to save Lola Gets and taking over the syndicate, and the involvement of Audrey's younger brother Stan in the syndicate. Further DNA testing confirms that Dave and JR are Marlene's twins and that Ingrid's ] son was swapped by Elizabeth with Dave (originally named David John by Marlene).

As things develop, Stanley kills Elizabeth over a financial dispute and frames JR, who is imprisoned and escapes with a former enemy, Ka Doroy, as part of a ] operation with the military in order to infiltrate the syndicate. He discovers that the syndicate's boss, "Hunyango", is actually Marlon Cardenas, Dave's godfather and Leo's father.

After JR is hit in a later incident, Dave agrees to a ] to save his twin in exchange for a ] to Audrey, but the marriage turns out to be fake because of Elizabeth's machinations. Dave and Audrey plan a church wedding, but Dave backs out. Audrey ends up marrying JR in church and later bears him a son named Adrian. However, she dies of ] a few days after giving birth.

The brothers eventually face off in a final showdown with Ramon, who agrees to surrender after Marlene's appeals and completing a plan to bring down his syndicate. However, a mentally-insane Ingrid shoots Ramon in the head while being taken into custody. He survives the shooting but is rendered blind by his injuries. Dave later commits Ingrid to a ]. Ramon is sentenced to ] and makes amends with Marlene, JR, and Dave behind bars. The three, who visit Ramon from time to time, now live together with Angela, Lily, Ula the nanny, Robert, and Adrian. The story ends with a cliffhanger: a woman and her son appears at the Garcia house one evening and introduce themselves as Emma Garcia (a third wife of David Garcia Sr.) and David Anthony Garcia III.

The family rivalry worsens as everyone finds out that Dave and JR are half-siblings when David Sr. appears on graduation day. Elizabeth exerts all efforts to cover up the truth to the point that she engineers Marlene's imprisonment. David Sr. is killed by gun smuggling boss Leo Cardenas during a robbery on his armory on the suggestion of Ramon Lecumberri, JR's estranged older half-brother. It is followed by more events such as the death of Audrey's mother Loretta after giving birth to her last child Robert, Ramon killing Leo to save Lola Gets and taking over the syndicate, and the involvement of Audrey's younger brother Stan in the syndicate. Further DNA testing confirms that Dave and JR are Marlene's twins and that Ingrid's stillborn son was swapped by Elizabeth with Dave (originally named David John by Marlene).

As things develop, Stanley kills Elizabeth over a financial dispute and frames JR, who is imprisoned and escapes with a former enemy, Ka Doroy, as part of a double agent operation with the military in order to infiltrate the syndicate. He discovers that the syndicate's boss, "Hunyango", is actually Marlon Cardenas, Dave's godfather and Leo's father.

After JR is hit in a later incident, Dave agrees to a kidney transplant to save his twin in exchange for a civil wedding to Audrey, but the marriage turns out to be fake because of Elizabeth's machinations. Dave and Audrey plan a church wedding, but Dave backs out. Audrey ends up marrying JR in church and later bears him a son named Adrian. However, she dies of heart disease a few days after giving birth.

The brothers eventually face off in a final showdown with Ramon, who agrees to surrender after Marlene's appeals and completing a plan to bring down his syndicate. However, a mentally-insane Ingrid shoots Ramon in the head while being taken into custody. He survives the shooting but is rendered blind by his injuries. Dave later commits Ingrid to a psychiatric hospital. Ramon is sentenced to life imprisonment and makes amends with Marlene, JR, and Dave behind bars. The three, who visit Ramon from time to time, now live together with Angela, Lily, Ula the nanny, Robert, and Adrian. The story ends with a cliffhanger: a woman and her son appears at the Garcia house one evening and introduce themselves as Emma Garcia (a third wife of David Garcia Sr.) and David Anthony Garcia III.

Reception

Citation from the Armed Forces

The production team of Tayong Dalawa and its three leading actors were cited by the Armed Forces of the Philippines for promoting a positive image of the Philippine military. The show is also credited for boosting the Philippine Military Academy's recruitment of prospective cadets by 300%, with the show also advertising the academy's entrance examinations at the end of each episode. Many episodes were shot inside the PMA campus in Baguio, where Anderson and Cuenca underwent training alongside the actual cadets. Anderson lamented that his and Cuenca's lack of Citizen Army Training experience was an initial problem in adjusting to the academy's training regime.

Soundtrack

The show's title theme music is "Tayong Dalawa" by Gary Valenciano, and certain scenes use "Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin" ("I Will Love You Tomorrow") by Lani Misalucha. The song "Tayong Dalawa" was originally composed and performed by Rey Valera and also covered by Sharon Cuneta for the theme song of her film with same title, with former husband Gabby Concepcion. Released in 1992, it was their final movie, after their annulment.

DVD release

On August 27, 2009, an announcement was made that Tayong Dalawa will be available on DVD. All volumes have been released. There are 20 volumes on DVD for the whole series.
