After several months of consistent social media trends and positive feedback from viewers, GMA Network’s groundbreaking masterpiece “Maria Clara at Ibarra” ends its journey inside the novels of Dr. Jose Rizal.
The program is bannered by 2016 Fantasporto International Best Actress and Kapuso Primetime Princess Barbie Forteza as Klay, Asia’s Limitless Star Julie Anne San Jose as Maria Clara at Ibarra, Breakthrough Kapuso Actor David Licauco as Fidel, and Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo as Simoun.
As the show nears its finale, Simoun is decided to carry out his plan of vengeance. His bomb plot will take place at the wedding reception of Juanito Pelaez and Paulita Gomez. Simoun brings a lamp as a gift to the newly weds, but inside it is an explosive to spark rebellion.
Who will join Simoun on his revenge plan? Will Klay be able to interfere with his plot and save him instead from danger?
Meanwhile, what will happen to the love story of Klay and Fidel? Will Klay stay inside the novel or will Fidel come and join her to the modern world?
