Marian Rivera believes Filipino stories keep ‘Tadhana’ going

“Kaya siguro ito minamahal at tinatangkilik dahil ito ay k’wento ng bawat Pilipino na sabi ko eh nakakapagbigay inspirasyon sa mga makakapanuod,” said Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera after being asked on Tuesday, November 9 the reason why Tadhana is still being watched.

According to the actress, not only is the show relatable, but it also gives life lessons.

“Kasi for sure lahat tayo ay makaka-relate na bawat kwento ng Pilipino is very unique. And for sure palaging malakas at may matutunan ka talaga in the end,” she explained during the media conference for the show’s 4th anniversary.

The drama anthology program started by sharing the stories of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). It then progressed into telling Filipino stories and not just OFWs.

“Ito ay kwento ng mga Pilipino kaya s’ya lumawak. Saan mang sulok nang mundo, kung gusto mong i-share ang iyong kwento, ‘yan ay maipapalabas natin sa Tadhana,” Rivera pointed.

John Mychal Feraren, Tadhana’s program manager, also added that the show’s team helped make it possible to become a “Storyteller of Filipinos.”

“Maganda rin na napapalawak pa yung mga scope ng topics ng Tadhana through research. Talagang yung mga researchers namin gumagawa sila ng way para makapag-explore pa sa kwento ng mga kababayan natin here and abroad.

“Tapos yung creative team natin, talagang nagbe-brainstorm sila paano mapapaganda, paano makakapag-offer ng mga bagong stories para sa mga viewers natin.”
