Ruru Madrid looks back on 'Lolong' premiere, teases book 2
Ruru Madrid is sentimental as he looked back on "Lolong," which premiered in July last year.
On Instagram, the Sparkle actor compiled videos of fans showing their support and Ruru's sugod-bahay visits to watch the series with families.
The Kapuso Action-Drama Prince reflected on the hardships he faced while working on the series.
"Sa dami ng aking pinagdaanan bago at habang ginagawa namin ito. Inakala ko na hindi ko kaya ang mga pagsubok at problema, pero pinilit kong labanan at makayanan lahat ng ito, sa tulong ng Ama at lahat ng mga tao na naniniwala at sumusuporta sa akin," he said.
That time, Ruru was open about his struggles with mental health that he nearly quit showbiz.
Ruru then gave some wise words to those going through similar challenges.
"Kaya sa lahat ng nagdaranas ng matinding pagsubok, huwag kayong susuko. Dahil minsan kailangan natin dumaan sa matinding hirap para hindi natin i-take for granted ang lahat ng mga bagay na meron tayo," he said.
"Magtiwala lang sa panginoon at paghusayan ang inyong ginagawa, makakamit mo ang iyong inaasam-asam," Ruru added.
He then thanked the fans for their overwhelming support for "Lolong."
"Hindi namin inaasahan na ganoon nalang ang pagmamahal at suporta na ibibigay ninyo sa amin kaya ito ay naging matagumpay," he said.
"Napakasarap sa puso na makita kung gaano ninyo minahal ang Lolong. Lalo na ang mga [bata] na nabibigyan namin ng saya at inspirasyon," Ruru added.
To end his post, Ruru teased the return of the show on television.
"Abangan ang pangalawang aklat ng LOLONG," he said.
Ruru most recently starred in "The Write One" alongside his girlfriend Bianca Umali.
He also stars in the upcoming film "Video City" opposite Yassi Pressman and the series "The Black Rider."
