“Siyempre, we’re very happy, we’re very proud na tumagal ng ganito katagal ang The Iron Heart and until now, patuloy pa rin ang pagtaas ng ratings, patuloy pa rin ang pagsubaybay ng mga manonood, at parang lalo pang tumataas ang rating ngayon.”
Cuenca noted how their series climbed in ratings from their humble start.
“Sobrang nakakatuwa kasi ‘yun talaga ‘yung parang ano– we really started talaga– we got a humble start. You know, we climbed, nag-climb ng nag-climb ‘yung show.”
Gutierrez echoed Cuenca’s sentiments about their series’ uphill battle and how they overcame it.
“But yeah, we are [very] happy, and [very] proud, and [very] humbled sa project na ‘to. [Like,] what Jake said nga, we started an uphill battle–kami sa simula. And against all odds, nandito kami ngayon, ina-announce ang finale namin after a few weeks. After one year of doing this project. And like what you said, lalo pang tumataas ang ratings and views.”\
Cuenca said he felt proud seeing their concurrent views rise.
“So parang kada tuwing makikita ko ‘yung post na tumaas ‘yung rating, tumaas ‘yung concurrent views, nakaka-proud, kasi we really worked hard for this talaga. From the start, sabi ko nga, I just had a meeting with ano kila Tita Cory, she’s so proud of the show, na tumagal din siya ng ganito.”
