It aired on the network's Primetime Bida line up and worldwide on TFC from January 19 to September 25, 2009, replacing Dyosa and was replaced by Lovers in Paris .

David "JR" Garcia Jr. was born into a poor family. His father, David Sr., deserted his mother Marlene Dionisio before he was born because his wife, Ingrid Martinez is pregnant with David "Dave" Garcia Jr.
When Audrey King and her family go to Tagaytay 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 Audrey grows up falling in love with Dave, Dave meets JR and they become the best of friends, but their families do not approve of their friendship. Dave's family thinks JR wants to use Dave for money. The siblings' mothers would not let the two hang out, although Dave's father allowed the friendship to continue. Dave's grandmother, Elizabeth, and JR's mother, Marlene, suspects David Sr. is keeping the two boys' friendship alive.
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 Philippine Military Academy 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 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.
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%, [2] 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. [3] [4]
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.
On August 27, 2009, an announcement was made that Tayong Dalawa will be available on DVD. [5] All volumes have been released. There are 20 volumes on DVD for the whole series.
On September 20, 2009, ABS-CBN aired Tayong Dalawa: The Untold Beginning. The made-for-TV movie features deleted scenes from the first few episodes of the series, which explores the origins of the rivalry between mother-daughter pairs Lola Gets-Marlene and Elizabeth-Ingrid. It also expounds on Ingrid and Marlene's separate love stories with David Garcia Sr. [6]
