Viewers are tuning in to ABS-CBN newest family drama “A Love To Last” because not only lead stars Bea Alonzo and Ian Veneracion spread kilig vibes all over, but the stories reflect Filipinos values and sensibilities that resonate with the audiences.

In its pilot week, the program showed how Filipino families are ready to support and help each other during difficult times like how Andeng (Bea) was comforted by her family, who stood by her after she caught her fiancé cheating on her. Andeng drew strength from them during this trial.

Viewers like student Roselle Arao, who was moved by these touching moments in the program, shared, “It really struck me how Andeng was so broken and she has her family with her to back her up in all her battles in life.”

Gemma Bacani, on the other hand, shared that her mother, father, two kids, and herself can relate to the Agoncillo family. She said, “They are very much intact just like us.”

Aside from Andeng, Anton’s (Ian) story also highlighted the importance of family, how Anton fought for his marriage and tried to save his family, and how children are affected if their parents are not on good terms.

While some viewers can relate with the situations and draw life lessons, others are drawn by the ‘kilig’ and undeniable chemistry between Bea and Ian on-screen.

“Nakakakilig especially when Ian sings. He’s very handsome,” said housewife Vivian Baranda.

Based on Kantar Media’s TV ratings data covering both urban and rural homes nationwide from Jan 9 to Jan 13, “A Love to Last” ruled on its timeslot during its pilot week with an average national TV rating of 25.8% vs rival program’s 20.8%. The show is also a consistent trending topic on Twitter nationwide every weeknight.

As the story continues, viewers are in for a total ‘kilig’ experience as Anton and Andeng finally bond and get to know each other more in Germany. How will romance blossom between the two?

Don’t miss “A Love to Last,” which airs on its new timeslot after “My Dear Heart” beginning Monday (Jan 23) on ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN HD (Sky Cable ch.167). Catch-up on the show’s past episodes via IWanTV or skyondemand.com.ph for Sky subscribers.
