Valentina is not always presented as a villainess. In the 1989 film "Valentina" as well as in the television episodes of "Komiks" and "Wansapanataym", Valentina is portrayed as a cursed individual but with a good heart and her love interest falls in love with her despite her appearance. In theater plays which were usually presented as ballet musicals, Valentina, although still a villain, is depicted in a comedic or sympathetic way, veering away from her traditional portrayal as a bitter woman.
