Bianca Umali & Miguel Tanfelix So Happy That Their Show, 'Kambal, Karibal', Tops The Ratings On Certain Days

BIANCA UMALI and Miguel Tanfelix are both understandably ecstatic over the huge success of their primetime soap, “Kambal, Karibal”, which reportedly outshines its rival show during certain nights, something that previous GMA’s shows in that slot failed to do so.

“Siempre, sobrang thankful po kami kasi much bigger stars ang sinasagupa namin,” says Bianca. “Who would have thought na mamahalin pala kami ng mga tao sa ‘Kambal, Karibal’? I think sobrang naging interested ang viewers sundan yung story ko as Crisan na ang karibal is my own twin sister, Pauline Mendoza as Crisel, na naging multo at sumanib sa katawan ni Kyline Alcantara as Cheska para akitin at agawin sa’kin si Miguel. Doon nagsimulang tumaas nang tumaas ang ratings namin and we’re hoping ma-sustain namin ang aming high ratings sa surveys.”

“Hindi namin talaga ine-expect na maraming magkakagusto sa naiibang love triangle namin ni Bianca with a ghost,” adds Miguel. “Unique kasi talaga ang premise ng story kaya sinubaybayan gabi-gabi ng mga tao. Huwag lang silang bibitiw kasi mas marami pang intriguing twists and turns na mangyayari sa story in the next few episodes. Dahil nga sa magandang performance ng show namin sa ratings, we’ve just been informed na sure na kaming extended for another one month and a half.”

As for Bianca, she is turning 18 on March 17 and she’s now preparing for her grand debut. “Actually, ang gusto ko, simply lang ang maging party ko,” she says. “Kung puede nga lang, I want to travel na lang sana. Ayoko kasi nang masyadong magastos. But a lot of people told me na minsan ka lang magiging debutante. Ilang beses ka ba magiging 18 sa buhay mo? So you should celebrate. Kaya naisip ko, tama naman sila at ngayon, busy na ako sa preparations, sa invitations, sa food tasting sa caterer, sa cake testing. Ni hindi ko pa nga naiisip kung ano ang magiging theme ng debut ko, e. Basta I want it to be memorable at maging masaya para sa lahat ng family and close friends na iimbitahin ko.”

So what will be Miguel’s gift for her? “Secret. Siempre, hindi ko sasabihin para surprise. Basta may gagawin akong very special sa night ng debut niya. Abangan na lang ninyo,” Miguel replies with a very big smile on his face.
