This fantasy series is a must-watch. From the cinematography, script, cast, and setting, I can say that it is definitely one of the best Philippine tv dramas have to offer. It is worth noting that the monologues and dialogues were well-written, and the story allows us to distinguish how Filipinos in the past and in today’s generation talk, dress, and behave. It is fascinating and amusing at the same time to witness how the Philippine culture has evolved. No doubt why it is now earning the public attention it deserves, as it is intended not only for entertainment but also for educational purposes.

Clearly, Maria Clara at Ibarra is a testament to how far Filipino creativity can go just to mold a real art and masterpiece!
