The GMA adult drama Ika-6 Na Utos (now airing Monday thru Saturday on the network’s Afternoon Prime) resonates with the juicy reverberations from the House of Representatives — and vice-versa. The series is widely-followed (No. 1 on its timeslot) because it reflects realities in marriages. Check the current headlines and you know what that means.
Viewers are hooked on the brilliant performances of Gabby Concepcion (you know how many marriages he has survived, don’t you?), Ryza Cenon (going steady with actor Cholo Barretto) and Sunshine Dizon (who has filed an annulment case against her husband whom she accused of having “another woman”). The drama involves Sunshine as Emma, Ryza as Georgia the mistress and Gabby as the man caught between them.
Said Sunshine, “We owe it to the public. We would like to thank them. Masaya kaming lahat dito sa set. We continue doing what we did on the first day. It’s easy to see why viewers easily relate to the show. I learned that people follow the show’s development on buses, and both here and abroad.”
Ryza: “It’s so heart-warming, knowing that people appreciate our effort inspires us to do better in every episode. Stay tuned po!”
Gabby is grateful to the show’s loyal viewers and netizens’ overwhelming support since it premiered in December last year.
“We knew that the show would rate but we didn’t expect the rating to be that high,” added Gabby.
Ikaw-6 Na Utos is directed by Laurice Guillen. Take a bow, Laurice!
