“The Cure debuted on GMA Network in the Philippines and generated some 46,000 tweets. The thriller telenovela follows Greg, who gets his hands on an experimental drug to help his mother, but his life takes a turn when the drug becomes the root of an infection that threatens to spread all over the city. The #WalkingDeadFeelings were #Exciting for viewers, who were also tweeting that it was #NotYourAverageLoveStory.”

Siyempre masaya kami na kami rin yung unang… proud din kami na kami yung… una kaming gumawa nito, ng ganitong klaseng concept sa isang soap, sa Philippine television. So, masaya at excited kami talaga at sana mas ma-excite pa yung mga tao at panoorin nila palagi. Hindi yung mapag-usapan lang, try nilang panoorin.”
