Marian Rivera is grateful to all the viewers who have supported Tadhana, GMA Public Affairs’ award-winning drama anthology, for the past six years.
“Yung anim na taon ng Tadhana, hindi siya magiging posible kung hindi rin dahil sa viewers na walang sawang sumusuporta sa programa,” said Marian, who is the show's host.
She added, “At hindi lang manunuod ang na-i-inspire sa mga kuwento, ako mismo, talagang na-i-inspire ako sa mga kuwento ng ating kababayan na kahit mahirap ang buhay, puno ng pagsubok, ay di sumusuko.
"Sana ay patuloy niyo kaming samahan tuwing Sabado, at sabay-sabay nating pagtagumpayan ang hamon ng buhay.”
The message of Tadhana has remained consistent throughout its six years on air.
