GMA rlly has good drama concepts. And Maria Clara at Ibarra is one of it. It’s my first time watching an ep from a Pdrama w/o using my phone haha kinaya ng attention span ko. I hope they maintain the good storytelling tho. Plus ang galing at natural umacting ni Barbie Forteza!

“Yes gurl, Barbie Forteza, go get that recognition from casuals, ilang araw ka nang pinag-uusapan dito sa twitter. The deservability! The relevancy! And the talent!” @enpimy said.
Maria Clara at Ibarra follows the story of Klay, portrayed by Forteza, a nursing student excited to leave the country to work abroad.
One day, Klay will find herself in the world of Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere. She will meet Maria Clara, Ibarra, and other characters in the novel by Jose Rizal.
