According to Wikipedia, there were speculations that the production had to re-film because the network was not convinced with the outcome. There were also changes on the cast.
According to others, Maria la del Barrio, together with other remakes Nasaan Ka Elisa? and PHR Presents: Hiyas, did not meet the standards of MTRCB because of very mature scenes.
According to the directors, the production took time because there were changes made to the original story of the Mexicanovela to suit the Filipino audience and they needed to get the permission of the Televisa Network in Mexico to effect these changes.
Whatever is the true reason, Maria la del Barrio is finally airing on August 15, 2011 in the Primetime Bida block of ABS-CBN before TV Patrol. The Mexicanovela remake replaces Mula sa Puso.
