Angel Locsin thanks the team behind IbaYan, viewers, and people who shared their inspiring stories as the show bids goodbye.

Around this time last year, the country have been in disarray because of the challenges brought upon by the pandemic. Some people are losing hope to fight the battle and recognizing the need to uplift people's fighting spirit, ABS-CBN launched public-oriented shows which aims to tell stories that inspire the viewers and give hope to those who need it one of which is Iba 'Yan hosted by Angel Locsin.

For the past 12 months, Iba 'Yan has shared a lot of inspiring stories that thought the viewers a lesson or two on how to win life and last sunday, they had their season finale.

On her Instagram account, Angel Locsin shared how the show started

"Nabuo po ang ibaYan sa kasagsagan ng pandemya at sa panahon na iilan lang po ang mga programa na tumatakbo sa buong bansa.

May takot man, ngunit dama po namin na kailangan ng programang makakapagbigay pugay sa maraming Pilipinong bayani sa kanilang paraan. Mga ordinaryong tao na may kakaibang puso na ninanais na makatulong sa kapwa o kapaligiran, kahit na nasa panahon tayo na maging sila ay nangangailangan rin o hirap."

The actress then expressed her gratitude to everyone who shared their inspiring stories, ABS-CBN bosses, and the team behind the show.

"Maraming salamat po sa napakaraming mga aral na natutunan ko sa ating mga kuwentuhan. Ang kagustuhan ninyo pong makatulong at pagbibigay inspirasyon ang dahilan po at kung bakit nabuo at nasimulan ang ibaYan.

Maliit lang po ang aming programa at sana sa aming munting paraan, naibahagi po namin ang mga kwentong puno ng inspirasyon.

Maraming salamat po sa pagkakataon Tita Cory, Direk Lauren, Sir Carlo, Sir Reily, Sir Raymond, Ms. Merce.

Sa napakagaling na creative team, researchers, writers, prod staff, at sa lahat ng bumubuo ng ibaYan, isang karangalan na makasama kayo. Salamat sa genuine na malasakit sa kapwa."

She also did not forget to mention her fiance who run the show as a director.

"Sa aking fiancè at direktor ng aming programa, @neil_arce, ipinagmamalaki kita! Great job."

It had been a great run for Iba 'Yan and they definitely delivered and fulfilled their purpose. For the past year, they had been one of the sources of inspiration and hope in the midst of a very challenging time. It is sad that they are bidding goodbye but the stories they shared and the inspiration they bring will forever be remembered.
