'Maria Clara at Ibarra' is going to be extended!

"Maria Clara at Ibarra" is not going to end this week after all!

As seen in Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras," Monday, Barbie Forteza and David Licauco announced that the series is going to be extended.

Fans have been clamoring for more of the series since it was previously announced that "Maria Clara at Ibarra" is on its last two weeks.

"Hindi talaga namin ine-expect itong level ng pagmamahal sa amin ng mga viewers, ng mga Kapuso," Barbie said. "So sino ba naman kami para hindi dinggin ang kanilang mga hinaing?"

"For the fans ito 'yung Valentine's gift ng lahat ng buong cast at buong bumubuo ng 'Maria Clara at Ibarra' so I'm just super happy na mae-extend," David said.

The series, however, has already finished taping last week.

As to what fans can expect from the rest of the episodes, Barbie and David said they should look forward to what happens between their characters Klay and Fidel.

"Thirteen years na hindi nakita ni Fidel si Klay. Parang ang sasandaling panahon lang nilang magkakasama. Parang ang unfair naman nun for Fidel. So let's give him more chance to spend time with Klay," Barbie said.

"Mai-inlove 'yung mga fans, 'yung mga supporters of FiLay kasi s'yempre 'yung mga scenes na ginawa namin was really sweet," David said. "maraming roller coaster of emotions, biglang sasaya, tas biglang  mai-inlove, tas biglang malulungkot, iiyak so 'yun kailangan nilang maabangan 'yun."
