JRB Productions head Julie Anne Benitez slammed Darna critics who claimed the show was a flop.
JRB Productions is one of the Darna series’ production companies.
Darna, the Kapamilya action-hero series, remained unstable and struggled in the rating game.
Some netizens then claimed that the series was a flop, while others claimed that it simply lost focus on its lead star, Jane De Leon. On Twitter, one netizen said that Darna focused more on the second lead who is Joshua Garcia.
On October 29, Benitez then said that Garcia’s character is a vital part of the series.
The Production head expressed, “Is this kind of language permitted in Twitter?… Joshua’s character is very integral in our story….so many good feedbacks about his character… please say in a respectful manner. God bless you, my dear!”
