An article by Inquirer’s Bandera, written by Ronnie Carasco is circulating online. The article elaborates the action of GMA Network scriptwriter Suzette Doctolero on Twitter where she brazenly revealed the TV performance of AlDub’s “Destined to Be Yours”.
The article confirmed the rumor that the AlDub series will be ending in May.
“IT HAD to take a Suzette Doctolero to bravely validate that yes, isang flop ang AlDub teleserye sa GMA, hence ang pamamaalam nito this May.
Kinumpirma kasi ng nasabing scriptwriter ang mga komento ng mga netizens on her social media account.”
The writer then wrote “our take on [the issue].”
“Hindi kailangang tagaloob o insider—much less a network talent na may mataas na posisyon—ang magsabing sablay ang AlDub teleserye sa ratings as ratings—apparently being the be-all and end-all na ng dalawang higanteng istasyon sa bansa—will speak for themselves sa mga pigurang inilalabas ng NUTAM at Kantar.”
Also, according to the article, “Destined to Be Yours” is losing to its rival “My Dear Heart” in TV rating games.
“Hindi namin iko-contest ang ginawang validation ni Suzette, totoo naman kung pakainin ng alikabok ng katapat na palabas ang kina Alden Richards at Maine Mendoza, ratings-wise, ay mahihiya ang pasimano ng bahay built in a polluted community.”
The writer also stressed, “Oo nga’t sikat ang tambalang AlDub, but fame is not synonymous with ratings supremacy which the tandem can no longer pull off ‘di tulad ng kasagsagan nila several months ago. Their popularity has plummeted even with Eat Bulaga’s seesawing ratings kapag umeere na ang kanilang kalyeserye.
“GMA should have taken a cue from there, pero nabantilawan na ang loveteam na ito nang ipalabas nila ang kanilang teleserye towards the end of February.”
Ronnie also wrote that there are several factors why the AlDub series failed to win over “My Dear Heart”.
“Maraming factors seem to have come into play kung bakit ang inakala nilang papatok na teleserye is now wheeled to the ICU at naghihintay na lang ng flatline.”
The writer then emphasized that AlDub’s populatity has subsided and wished that Suzette should have let others to confirm “Destined to Be Yours’” complete failure.
In the end, the writer concluded the possible consequences Suzette is facing now that it’s working week.
“Dahil ngayon ang simula ng working week, for sure, over the weekend ay ikinawindang ng ETV ng GMA ang bago na namang “stunt” na ito ni Suzette. Tiyak na nasa 8th floor (tama pa ba ang aming pagkakatanda sa palapag ng mga bossing doon?) si Suzette, holed in one of the bosses’ cubicles, who’s handed a copy furnished letter demanding her explanation in written form to be submitted five days upon receipt.
“Worse, isang suspension letter agad. Destined to be hers.”
