Ruru Madrid on overwhelming 'Lolong' reception: 'Hindi namin in-expect'

Ahead of the "Lolong" season finale on Friday, Ruru Madrid expressed his gratitude to the show's viewers and fans.

During a media conference on Monday, the Kapuso actor said that the action-drama series didn't only entertain viewers but also raised awareness about caring for the environment and protecting animals.

"As actors, our goal is to entertain people. But this project has also allowed us to give inspiration and lessons to the public," said Ruru.

As the first season draws to a close, viewers are in for more action-packed scenes that will leave them at the edge of their seats as they witness a face-off battle between the "Atubaw" and the Bansons in Lolong's season finale.

“Hindi po namin in-expect na ganito ninyo mamahalin ang aming programa. Gusto namin suklian iyon. Sa aming season finale week, nawa’y patuloy ninyong suportahan ang Lolong. Abangan ninyo ang mga kapana-panabik na mga tagpo,” Ruru said.

Ruru also acknowledged his co-actors who put effort into their characters and the people behind the camera.

"Hindi siya magiging successful kung hindi dahil sa inyo. Sobrang thankful ako sa inyo," he said.

In his biggest battle ever, how can "Lolong" put an end to the evil forces ruling their town?
