GMA’s original series “Lolong” has won hearts because of its engaging story and great cast led by Ruru Madrid, Christopher de Leon, Jean Garcia and many more. As the series progresses, the question is — will it get an extension — or perhaps a book 2?
As of now, the track of “Lolong’s” story has been laid out, said the people behind the show.
They are very proud of the series that they offer, and believe their viewers will continue supporting it up to its end.
As to getting stiff competition from its rival show on primetime, the show’s lead is confident
that “Lolong” is up for the challenge.
Said Ruru: “Gusto lang po naming makapagbigay ng bago para sa mga manonood, very refreshing sa mata kasi galing tayo sa pandemya, na stuck tayo many months na hindi namin alam what’s happening outside.
“Ngayong nakagawa kami ng project in the middle of the pandemic. It was so hard to be honest. It was so hard dahil iniisip naming ang safety ng bawat isa. Syempre dumarating kami sa set naka face mask at nun lang naming tatanggalin. It was so hard. But our goal is to entertain people — makagawa ng show na makapagbigay ng aral, makapagbigay ng inspirasyon sa mga kabataan. Ngayong naipalalabas na po sya, masaya kami sa reception ng mga tao sa mga natatanggap pero I know for sure, everyone ganun din ang iniisip.
Mapakalaban man ‘yan or sino man gumagawa ng bagong programa, our goal is to entertain people. Basta mayroon tayong proyektong na mapagmamalaki natin, hindi lang sa ating bansa maski sa ibang bansa, sobrang tatanggapin at maging proud po tayo dyan.
“Kung ano man darating na kalaban, ok lang. Alam naman natin na tayo’y nagbibigay ng kasiyahan para po sa mga manonood. For sure, ‘yun din para sa lahat ng bumubuo ng Lolong, hindi naman po namin sinasabi na hindi kami nakakaramdam ng pressure pero dahil alam naming ginawa namin ito para sa mga tao, hindi lang para sa amin, para sa kanila ito.”
“Lolong” airs weeknights on GMA.
