Ruru Madrid pens appreciation post for 'Lolong' fans

Ruru Madrid made sure to share his appreciation for "Lolong" fans after the series won the Gawad Pilipino Award for Best Primetime Serye.

On Instagram, Ruru posted a Reel of his Sugod Bahay visit where kids and their families chanted "Lolong" for him.

The Kapuso Action-Drama Prince said that the team created the program not just to provide entertainment, but to also shed light on what happens in our surroundings and environment.

"Nakakatuwa na ang mga suporta at pagmamahal na natatanggap namin ay nagmumula sa buong pamilya. Ang mga lola't lolo, binata at dalaga, may asawa, maging ang mga bata," he said.

("It feels good that the support and love we receive come from the whole family. Grandmothers and grandfathers, young men and women, married couples, even children.")

"Hindi ko mapigilan na maluha sa tuwing may mga magulang na nagpapadala sa akin ng mga pictures at videos na kanilang mga anak kung saan ginagaya nila ang karakter na aking ginagampanan na si Lolong," he added.

("I can't help but tear up every time parents send me pictures and videos of their children copying Lolong, the character I play.")

Ruru said that the show had gone through so many hurdles and that he had personal challenges to face, so he remains thankful that no one on the team gave up.

"Kaya mula po sa aking puso, ako po ay lubusang nagpapasalamat sa Gawad Pilipino Awards para po sa parangal na Best Primetime Serye. Ito po ay malaking bagay para po sa aming lahat na bumubuo ng 'Lolong' dahil nararamdaman po namin na nagbubunga na ang lahat ng pinaghirapan namin," Ruru said.

("From the bottom of my heart, I give my utmost gratitude to Gawad Pilipino awards for the Best Primetime Serye award. This is huge for everyone who worked on 'Lolong' because we feel the fruits of all our sacrifices.")

The actor added that this award will serve as inspiration for their team's work.

"Maraming salamat din po sa inyong lahat na sumusuporta at nagmamahal sa aming programa dahil kayo po ang dahilan kung bakit po namin ginagawa ito. Nawa'y patuloy n'yong suportahan ang 'Lolong.'"

("Thank you so much to everyone who supports and loves our program because you are the reason why we did this. May you continue to support 'Lolong.'")

"Lolong" airs Mondays to Fridays on GMA Telebabad after "24 Oras."
