Prinsesa ng Banyera (lit. Princess of the Fish Bucket) is a 2007 Philippine weekday daytime telenovela of ABS-CBN, from October 8, 2007 to May 23, 2008 which aired after Wowowee. It stars Kristine Hermosa and Angelika dela Cruz with TJ Trinidad, Rafael Rosell and Ara Mina. It ruled the afternoon programming and was also shown worldwide through The Filipino Channel weekdays and its affiliate ABS-CBN Sports and Action, and Saturdays as a 5-episode marathon.

The TV series also aired in Malaysia via TV3 (Malaysia) weekdays in 2010.

Production

The TV Series marked Kristine Hermosa's comeback to television drama and her first daytime telenovela for the network. This marked her second pairing with her successful team up with actor TJ Trinidad after Gulong ng Palad. The series was also a planned primetime project. The series was also delayed one week internationally but aired the entire first week on its Saturday afternoon block on TFC. The series received well with mixed reviews because it used formulas from Mexican and Filipino storylines. This also served a comeback for 80's model and actress Lyka Ugarte in her acting career. The series was moved to 2:45 pm after timeslot issues. This marked Angelika de la Cruz's second television rivalry with Kristine Hermosa after the 2003-2004 internationally acclaimed drama Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas after Angelika de la Cruz departed from her home network. In late 2007, Ara Mina and Oyo Sotto from GMA-7 transferred to the network as regulars and successfully raised ratings.
