Director Maryo delos Reyes compares child stars Jillian Ward and Mona Louise Rey with each other

DIRECTOR MARYO DE los Reyes is happy that his “Munting Heredera” is now catching up in the ratings game. “Slow burn ang show but now, mas dumami na talagang nanonood,” he beams. “One time, we rated a high 14 at natalo pa namin ang katapat naming shows sa ibang stations. Marami talagang natutuwa sa title-roler naming si Mona Louise Rey dahil very lovable siya at napakahusay umarte.”

How would he compare Mona to GMA’s other child wonder, Jillian Ward? “Si Jillian ang Maricel Soriano dahil pareho silang kikay. Si Mona as Jennifer in the story, mala-Snooky na kahit di pa umaarteng umiiyak, mukhang kawawa na. She brings out the inner tito or tita in you para gustuhin mo siyang protektahan. I’m so happy with the cast as they’re all good. Maraming umiiyak kay Roderick Paulate as the caring Manny na siyang nag-alaga kay Mona but is now accused of being a pedophile. Camille Prats is touching as Sandra na nagka-amnesia at naging Susan who Neil Ryan Sese deceives na siyang asawa niya. Impressive naman si Mark Anthony Fernandez as Jacob who’s seduced by Katrina Halili as Lynette. Higit sa lahat, your heart will melt for Mona who’s accused of burning the Montereal’s mansion when it’s the other child star, Barbara Miguel as Calilla, who really did it. Dahil dito, ipapatapon siya sa bahay ampunan.”
