The ever-iconic Sisa in Jose Rizal’s novel made a newfangled comeback in the present through the television series Maria Clara at Ibarra. And with Andrea Torres portraying the role, viewers love every bit of it.

GMA’s Maria Clara at Ibarra follows the story of a Gen Z girl who will transmigrate into the world of Noli Me Tangere. The fictional book, written by Rizal, unmasks the injustices of the ruling Spaniards during the very distant Philippines.

Additionally, actress Andrea Torres plays Sisa in the show that is currently airing with over 20 episodes. She is the mother of young sacristans, Crispin and Basilio. These three will fall victim to the oppressive system orchestrated by power-hungry friars.

As Maria Clara at Ibarra reaches its fourth week, viewers witness the climactic sequence of Sisa finally losing control of her sanity. The event happened after the suspected death of her youngest child, while the other went missing. Back at their home, she grieves, saying, “Crispin, Basilio, mga anak ko!” The line is a famous reference in the novel.

Meanwhile, a clip of Andrea Torres’ dramatic monologue as Sisa has gone viral on Twitter with 373k views to date. Netizens applauded her effective execution and how she changed the often comedic take on the character.

Sisa also trended on the platform along with unending praises from fans of the series. Even the casuals were impressed with the actress’ heart-incising portrayal. Thus, Andrea took to a tweet to respond to the positive reactions to her role.

“Gusto ko lang malaman niyo na nakikita at nababasa ko ang mga posts niyo. Sobrang laking bagay hay kung alam niyo lang gano! Ang katotohanan niyan, ako rin (ay) pinapaiyak niyo.”

Andrea further expressed her unceasing gratitude for the appreciation of her artistry. She encouraged everyone to continue watching Maria Clara at Ibarra, hinting that there are still many things they should anticipate.
