MANILA, Philippines - "It will be there forever," joked ABS-CBN president and chief executive officer Charo Santos-Concio, when asked if the hit morning series "Be Careful With My Heart" will be extended once again.
But Santos-Concio quickly said the top-rating show, starring Richard Yap and Jodi Sta. Maria, will be on the air as long as the audience wants it.
"It will be there forever (laughs). Hanggang magkaroon ng apo (laughs). That's always a challenge for our content creators. The challenge is always for the next big hit... but for the meantime, as long as the public is supporting 'Be Careful With My Heart,' it will be there," Santos-Concio said in a press conference after the ABS-CBN Corp. annual stockholders' meeting on Tuesday.
Yap and Sta. Maria thrilled ABS-CBN stockholders by appearing on stage to sing a duet of the classic "Please Be Careful With My Heart."
In a previous interview, the show's star Yap hinted that the hit daytime soap has been extended again.
It was earlier reported that "Be Careful With My Heart" has been extended until mid-2013, but Yap said the series is "going to be more than the June date."
"They haven't really told us yet kung hanggang kailan, but we feel that it's going to be, the story will go a long way," Yap said.
"Hindi pa namin [alam] exactly when, but for now, I think it's going to be more than the June date," he added. - With report from Kathleen A. Martin, ABS-CBNnews.com
