Ms. Janella Salvador is Valentina in ABS-CBN’s adaptation of Darna (2022).

This portrait of the villain Valentina is inspired by the glamour of the old Hollywood stars Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor.
She wears a slip dress and a turban, both created from sheer fabrics that erotically embrace the curves of her body. Valentina also wears an old Philippine Jewelry called tamburin. Her native batok tattoos represent the elements of a snake.

I have adapted the concepts of the Darna films of 1991 and 1994, where Pilar Pilapil's elite Valentina and Cherie Gil's televangelist Valentine harnessed the power and the charisma of the Snake; luring people into darkness and promising them false salvation from the horrors of the volcanic eruptions.
