Maria Clara at Ibarra, mamayang gabi na! After 24 Oras.
Si Fidel (na ginagampanan ni David L) ay character na hindi nag e exist sa Noli at Fili ni Rizal na idinagdag namin bilang kaibigang ilustrado ni Crisostomo Ibarra. Na gaya ni Ibarra ay nakapag aral rin sa Europa (sa Londres, o London, kaya maalam rin sa wikang Ingles si Fidel. si Jose Rizal ay maalam rin sa Ingles ha). Doon kasi sa nobela ay walang nabanggit na matalik na kaibigan at kababata si Ibarra (liban kay Maria Clara), kaya pasintabi at paumanhin kay Dr Rizal, isa si Fidel sa idinagdag namin. Abangan sila! Mamayang gabi na!

Maria Clara at Ibarra comes out tonight! After 24 Oras!Fidel (portrayed by David L) is a character that doesn't exist in Rizal's Noli and Fili which we added as Crisostomo Ibarra's ilustrado friend. Like Ibarra, he also studied in Europe (in Londres or London, that's why Fidel knows the English language. Mind you, Jose Rizal was also proficient in English.) In the novel, there was no mention of Ibarra's best friend or childhood friend (other than Maria Clara), so let's put [all complaints] aside and apologies to Dr. Rizal, Fidel is one of our additions. Stay tuned for the characters! Coming tonight!- Suzette Doctolero
