IBC-13's teleserye 'Esperanza' captures TV audience

October 10, 2012

IBC-13's top-rating primetime teleserye Esperanza (produced by Viva Television) has been on the air after 3 months, since already has convinced the Philippine audience, as evidenced by its consistent high ratings of 36.4%, beating ABS-CBN's Walang Hanggan (24.6%) and GMA's Luna Blanca (15.1%).

It stars Cristine Reyes as Esperanza, Onemig Bondoc, Jake Cuenca, Angelu de Leon, Bobby Andrews, Shy Carlos, Josh Padilla, Yam Concepcion, John James Uy, Antoniette Taus and many others.

Apparently, it is the soap opera to beat every night.

“It was IBC-13 who introduced TV soap operas way back with Ula, Ang Batang Gubat in the ’80s (1988-1990). Funny, I was also a part of that show and now andito din ako. Pero ang dami ng kinaibahan nitong Esperanza duon. Like mas mabilis ang pacing dito at iniiwasan namin istretch out ang mga scenes kung di naman kailangan.

Pag na-establish na ang point, cut na kaagad sa next unlike noon na babad talaga,” explains Bobby Andrews, who plays father to the character Cristine Reyes as Esperanza plays.

That's because the whole story of the teleserye was finished even before the cameras start grinding.

Number one in its time slot, Esperanza airs every 9-9:30 p.m. weeknights on IBC-13's PrimeTastik.
