Director Darryl Yap praised the Kapuso series Maria Clara at Ibarra starring Dennis Trillo, Julie Ann San Jose, and Barbie Forteza.
In his Facebook post on October 6, the Maid in Malacañang director said that the story of the series flows smoothly.
“Dalawang Shows pa lang ang talagang wala akong pinalagpas na episode sa GMA7.
“1. Ghost Fighter
2. Starla and the Jewel Riders
“Ngayon, katatapos kong mapanood ang unang episode ng pangatlo kong susubaybayan; MARIA CLARA at IBARRA
HINDI NAKAKABATO, HINDI PILIT ANG LIPAD NG ISTORYA
HINDI KAILANGAN NG HYPE—maganda talaga.”
Yap congratulated Direk Zig Dulay and scriptwriter Suzette Severo Doctolero and the rest of the Maria Clara at Ibarra team.
Maria Clara at Ibarra aired its pilot episode on October 3, which was well-received by viewers as it gained a 15.1% rating on NUTAM People Ratings. Its rival series Mars Ravelo’s Darna had 7.1% rating only.
The Kapuso series airs on GMA Network’s Telebabad block, Mondays to Fridays, after 24 Oras. A delayed telecast airs on GTV at 9:30 pm.
