    1. Agree, there are no small roles indeed. He was just in the show for a few weeks but he made a great impact. I know he's good, I'm so glad he's getting recognition now. Wish Basil could stay a bit longer, but his death was necessary

    2. 2: 23 There are small roles, magpakatotoo na tayo. Malaki ang impact nya dahil malaki ang impact ng character nya sa kwento. Na-enhance lang ng acting ability niya.

  9. Give more projects to this guy! Ang galing nya

  10. If there's such a thing as nuanced acting, si Benjamin gumawa non. Konting taas ng kilay, konting glance, konting galaw ng kamay may iba't ibang meaning. Galing.

    1. Dennis Trillo as well. But yes, Ben did an excellent job, he was so fun to watch. Hope to see more of him.

      Delete
    2. True at hinihintay ko na mag kamali sya Pero Hindi sya kumawala SA character.

      Aside from Benjamin and Dennis. C ken chan din...Yung iba doctors SA abot kamay Hindi mukhang doctor magsalita Pero c ken chan from autistic to honourable doctor ang galing

  11. He really redeemed himself. Sa una may nuances siya na Basil is gay and napakagaling niya sa confrontation when Paco was alive. You can see na he's softer than Paco but hindi siya yung overacting na gay. Then nung nawala na si Paco mas nagiging clear na Basil is gay or bi kasi he didn't say kaya possible na bi.

    1. Nung buhay pa si Paco kailangan niya magpakalalaki para hindi siya tapakan ni Paco kaya nakikipagsuntokan din siya and para magkaanak. Nawalan siya ng competition nung namatay si Paco kaya mas open siya to be himself

    2. Kaya pala. Sa pananalita ang taray at may pilantik ang mga daliri. Si Mike Tan kaya ang secret babe nya na mag blackmail kay Sam later?

  12. Bet na bet ko ang role nya sa WW

  13. He’s really good sa series nato. Iba din talaga nagagawa ng magandang story. Nailalabas ang galing ng isang actor.

  14. Love how he played Basil. Short lang ang character nya pero hindi basta basta ha. Tumatak! Love this soap, lahat ng scene halatang kina career!

    1. Yung mga batang actor lang ang panira. Show can do without them, really.

    2. Sino? Sofia is good and Rebecca also...even Jericho Hindi Ganun kagwapo Pero it suits the character at may mystery SA Mata nya. They are all good for me.

      Wag mo ipareho SA calibre ni jean ang MGA BATA..buy they are good enough.

      Delete
    3. 2:26 the young actors are there to attract the younger demographic. it’s part of marketing. plus it’s a good exposure for them. lahat naman nag uumpisa sa baba, kahit ang isang Bea Alonzo. cut them some slack.

      Delete
  15. Ang galing ng script nito in fairness. Sana magtuloy tuloy!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Tumatak si BASIL 👍🏻👍🏻

  17. I love his portrayal of Basil!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. In fair kay Rafael and Benjamin they made a mark in the series. Mag wish ka na sana may twist kasi kahit may pagkakontrabida sila they still have lovable qualities. Kahit yung role ni Jean na monster in law na minsan nakakainis siya but you don't hate her. Everyone is human in this series and not Disney level na black and white ang mga characters.

    1. Well said!!! Everyone is human in this show and hindi Disney characters

      Delete
    2. Sa tingin ko ang magiging twist is si Sam and her family ang talagang masama. Parang Game of Thrones na perspective matters. Ayaw ni Mercy umalis sa Palacios estate parang pinipilit lagi niya si Sam na mag stay.

      Delete
    3. 2:33 I love Bea's role here. Kakaiba. Tipong pagdududahan mo. Yun yung gusto ko na role nya even before pa. And she's nailing it! Magagaling sila lahat actually

      Delete
    4. i agree! kahit may dark side si
      Paco talagang love nya si Sam 😢 and even Amando said to Sam
      that Paco is a good person. Ganda ng role ni Paco and Basil! short but sweet kumbaga.

  19. I love him sa WW at maganda yung show.

  20. Aww. He is thinking to retired na pala. But this WW came and you did a great job. Just trust GMA, for sure they will give you more projects.

    PS: need to shred some weight, yung body mo before is good on you.

    1. 1:02 yung may pagpuri tapos bawi ng physical attack sa dulo. Teh, bumagay yung weight nya sa role nya. Saka malay mo sa health/mental condition nya kaya nadagdagan weight nya.

    2. Shred talaga baks? Katakot ka naman. Also, TO Is followed by present tense of a verb.

  21. So happy to see all positive comments here! We all agreed how benjamin was a great actor in this beautiful show. Group huuug!

  22. I am a Kapamilya but I am watching WW and I like it. Madami pang questions about Basil's true identity. I think George killed Basil.

    1. Watch good TS, you don’t owe anybody your loyalty you’re the one paying for your electricity, demand good storyline and acting so that they’ll produce more good TS and Philippine TS can be uplifted to international standard. ✌️POV ko lang

      Delete
    2. @2:10 agreee! sana tanggalin na yang network loyalty mindset. Sa pinas lang yung ganyan. You're just making your world smaller kung hindi kayo open-minded lol

      Delete
    3. 1: 22 Tigil-tigilan na kasi yung loyalty sa mga network. Lahat ng palabas, panoorin mo, kahit saang channel pa yan.

      Delete
    4. I think Rebecca did. Kasi palagi sya nawawala at hinahanap. Minsan yung akala mo walang kinalaman yun pala ang may sala.

      Delete
    5. Exactly! pinapanood ko kung ano ang gusto ko kaya walang basagan ng trip. Practice what you are preaching.

  23. Bat hindi ilagay sa Netflix tong WW?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Kasi baka ma overthrow ang Pulang Araw bilang No. 1 in the Phils. Yun ang pinupush nila e, pero maraming followers ang Widows' War without much fanfare, much like Maria Clara at Ibarra.

      Delete
    2. Baka sakaling ilagay din sa Netflix like Royal Blood a few months after its airing on TV.

      Delete
    3. Bad idea kung may free tv ang GMA dapat after ng whole run ng show. Any show na nasa netflix and advanced screening nag suffer ang ratings kasi why watch it on tv when it's commercial free sa netflix. Dapat mas hinahype nga ng GMA ang free tv eh ewan ko sa kanila

      Delete
    4. Bababa ratings pag nasa Netflix like what is happening sa Pulang Araw now.

      Delete
    5. Kailangan ng emergency meeting for Pulang araw. Sana pinagisipan nila kung anong route ang gusto nila kung ibebenta nila sa Netflix dapat ginawa netflix exclusive nalang or pati sa Prime. Sayang ang quality ng Pulang Araw kung binigyan nila ng bala ang bashers i-bash ang show. Ang ganda pa naman ng Pulang Araw

    6. Nakaka amaze na may sarili ng followers ang WW

    1. Nah! Wag na. Prequel na lang siguro

    2. No. Pero I think yung body ni Paco pina taxidermy ni aurora (mom nya) doon naka tago sa secret room nya. Minsan she would bring flowers doon, para yun kay Paco.

    2. Mismo. Sa iba sa mga favorites lang sila umiikot at nagro rotate, at sa mga goodlooking na may ibang lahi, takot ibigay sa ibang actors ang role. Not GMA. Look what they did to Kyline Alcantara, bida, and nag click.

      Delete
  28. Pls give this man another project
    Ang galing nya at it seems he's passionate about his craft.
    What i love about WW lahat sila magagaling
    buhos ang 100% at magaganda ang mga mukha nilang lahat
    kudos sa mga pumili ng cast, feel mo ang konek na parang nag team building sila bago mag taping
    Bagay na mag ama si tonton at benjamin
    Si jean at rafael bagay mag mommy
    magkakahawig ang magkaka pamilya
    Kamukha ni carla ung kapatid nya
    Si bea swak ang looks ni jeric
    Si rita hawig ni royce
    and hindi corny ang script alam mo na matatalino ang script writers even sa small details at bagay maging Alta mga Palacios

  33. Ang husay ni Benjamin as Basil. I swear! Yung mga simpleng nuances na beki yung character nya, galing talaga. Mamimiss ko character nya sa Widows’ War. Yung character nya kasi ang galing ng mga galawan.

  37. Tawang tawa ko sa nanay ko pag nag rereact sa scene nya naririnig ko kasi "baklang to" haha. Sobrang convincing, dapat yun mga talent na ganyan bini build up ng mga network, di puro loveteam

    4. 12:36 huy wala namang nagsasabing wala syang shows before. I watch GMA shows and yes i see him, pero iba yung Basil Palacios. Kaloka ka tumigil ka na sa kanegahan mo. I appreciate mo na lang yung ambag nya. Even he himself is saying that this made him appreciate his craft. Nagbasa ka ba? o nabulag ka na ng kanegahan?

    5. dun sa kabila kse puro loveteam at favorite ka pag trending ka kahit walang talent.

  38. Saw a totally different Benjamin in WW, a short stint but unforgetable character.

  39. See, ang daming magagaling na artista need lang talaga mabigyan ng chance. Di hamak na mas magagaling kesa mga hype ngayon.

    1. Oi infairness naman laging may show yan si Benjamin

  40. Actually, ang bland kasi ng mga previous roles ni Benjamin for so long kaya ang boring din niya as an actor. His role as Basil is very different and very layered pa kaya nakita ng lahat na may ibubuga talaga. Most of the time kasi, malaking factor din talaga yung character na ginagampanan.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Grabe ang series na to. Kinikilabutan ako sa cinematography at galing ng mga artista plus the story. Nakakamiss manood nung mga artista magagaling at natural ang arte.

  44. Maganda ang show na ito. Yung kwento talaga nagdadala. Di ko masyado bet si Bea same old star magic acting pero si Carla at Benjamin ibang level dito. Loved seeing Timmy cruz. Ito ba first serye niya since villa quintana?

    3. Ang galing ni Bea dito, si Carla sakto lang. Yung intonation ng boses ni Carla minsan di bagay sa need ng scene. Ang lamya.

      Delete
    4. Ang galing nga ni Bea dyan sa mata pa lang at sa pag iyak ramdam mo talaga yung character nya.

      Delete
    5. Both Carla and Bea magaling dito. Di kasi pwedeng pareho ng atake at ng buga yung dalawa. Magkaiba ng personality sina Sam and George. Tama lang na they would react differently, even in highly emotional scenes. Both ladies understand their character well kaya alam na alam nila kung pano ang atake, kung anong level ang iyak at galit, at may nuances na nailalagay regardless kung nakatayo lang sa eksena at nakikinig o kung sila yung sentro ng eksena.

  45. Ito yung mga role nila ni Rafael na ayaw mo pa sanang mawala sa kwento

  47. He really stole the show. Naisip ko nga, kokonti lang yung nasa rotation ng GMA ng leading men. Heto pala't may ibang mga artista sila na mas mahuhusay pa. I mean, tbh I don't think their primetime king can pull off this role. Sana si Mike Tan mabigyan din ng juciy na role. That guy can really act also.

  48. Lahat ng cast sa WW puro mahuhusayl Wala kang itatapon kahit mga supporting roles lang. Magaling si Jean talaga, at si Bea umaarte ang mga mata niya kahit no dialogue, na cocomuniate and ibig sabihin Carla is also good and of course Ben Alves and Rafael too. Si Rita, lagi naman siyang mahusay kahit saang serye isali. Tonton is so believable as the grieving father. WW has an excellent cast, story, and direction.
