The whole cast of GMA Primetime show Alyas Robin Hood are feeling over the moon for the unprecedented support of their fans that kicked off the program’s strong debut.
Led by Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes, the group attended a thanksgiving mass last Thursday after the show’s strong win in the national ratings since its premiere.
Dingdong shared that since the beginning, he saw that the program is indeed a blessing since he was able to show the other side of himself as an actor.
“Magmula naman ng umpisa, blessing talaga na magkaroon lang ng trabaho, makasama ang mga magagaling na artista at makabilang sa isang network na ang primary objective ay magbigay ng entertainment. At sa pagpasok namin sa aming 4th week, gusto talaga namin magbigay ng pasasalamat sa lahat ng grasya na binigay sa’min. This show is a blessing because we’re here every night to inspire, to give entertainment kaya thank you rin sa audience for giving us very good ratings,” the actor said.
On the other hand, its director Dominic Zapata said he is delighted that the sacrifices of the people who supported their program have paid off.
“Gusto lang namin magpasalamat na tinulungan kami ni Lord na sagutin yun mga hiniling namin. Natutuwa ako na nasuklian namin ng maayos ang sacrifices ng mga bosses namin dahil sa mataas na TV ratings ng programa,” he said.
Alyas Robin Hood airs Monday to Friday after Encantadia.

Three-year-old Mikhael Mercado is not your normal kid. In a video that has gone viral on the Internet, the son of two teachers was seen marching and doing push ups as if he were a real policeman, like the character of his idol Coco Martin in the teleserye FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.
Mikhael’s dream to be a crime-busting cop was greatly influenced by “Cardo,” the lead character in his favorite show. With a keen interest in law and justice, all little Mikhael wants is a police costume to start his law-enforcing career. Unfortunately, his family earns just enough to put his older brothers to college.
Mission Possible and Julius Babao thought of suprising the family, bringing them all to the Ocean Park and even introducing Mikhael to his idol.

As artists in action, Kapuso stars Louise delos Reyes and Miguel Tanfelix live every day by following wherever their passion takes them.
To celebrate her birthday last month, Louise organized a photography session with her fans. The Kapuso actress is gradually making her name in the photography scene, and many people admire her ability to capture beautiful photos. She admits that she is still learning and a part of it is being patient with herself. This is one of the tips she shared with her followers when she gave a small talk about her passion in photography.
“’Practice makes perfect’ is a bit cliché, but it really works. Just be patient. Keep taking photos, and just do what you love to do,” said Louise.
As for Miguel, he spent his 18th birthday with the children of New Hope SPED Center. Even after two years of taking the role of a mentally challenged Niño, he admits that he still has the heart for those who are in the same condition. He looked back and remembered how he used to immerse himself in their community to understand their behaviors and help him portray the role.
“Masaya po akong nakasama ko sila sa birthday ko. Nakita kong game naman sila sa mga activities and that really makes me happy,” Miguel said.
Both of them, who are blessed with talent and opportunity, do not wish for material wealth, but for a greater common good and the safety of their loved ones.

GMA Network’s Someone To Watch Over Me continues to tug at the heartstrings of the audience even as the series gets more intense and compelling.
This timely drama takes everyone on an emotional ride as the character of TJ, portrayed by Tom Rodriguez, is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. His condition gets worse day by day affecting not only his memory but also his work and family.
Viewers who have consistently followed the series are immensely sympathetic to Lovi Poe’s character Joanna, TJ’s compassionate wife. She will do everything for her sick husband who unfortunately now remembers his ex-girlfriend Irene (Max Collins) more than her.
Likewise, netizens are impressed by how the cast members effectively portray their characters in their dramatic scenes. They are also hooked because, as they says, the series is very inspiring, enlightening and relatable as it shows how the illness affects the person and his loved ones.
Someone To Watch Over Me airs weeknights after Alyas Robin Hood on GMA Telebabad.
