\u201cYung anim na taon ng Tadhana, hindi siya magiging posible kung hindi rin dahil sa viewers na walang sawang sumusuporta sa programa,\u201d shared Marian. \u201cAt hindi lang manunuod ang naiinspire sa mga kuwento, ako mismo, talagang nai-inspire ako sa mga kuwento ng ating kababayan na kahit mahirap ang buhay, puno ng pagsubok, ay di sumusuko. Sana ay patuloy n\u2019yo kaming samahan tuwing Sabado, at sabay-sabay nating pagtagumpayan ang hamon ng buhay,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
