‘Maria Mercedes’ mall show stopped to prevent stampede

Thousands of fans welcomed Maria Mercedes stars Jessy Mendiola, Jake Cuenca, and Jason Abalos last Sunday, October 20, at SM City Lipa but they weren’t able to bond with them for too long after organizers decided to cut short the program for the safety of the huge crowd who turned out for the event.

The organizers were trying to avoid a stampede and stop the people from getting hurt since the jampacked crowd might cause the glass windows to collapse or break.

Jessy and Jake didn’t get the chance to do their respective production numbers. After Jason’s first song, the organizers asked the three main leads to go up on stage and greet the thousands of fans who eagerly waited for them.

Though sad about it, Jessy, Jake and Jason expressed their gratitude and thanked everyone who joined them in SM City Lipa through their respective Instagram accounts.

“Sorry Batanguenos if I wasn’t able to sing and dance for you guys. I still love you. #MariaMercedes still loves you. Thank you for the support and for coming just to see u,” said Jessy.

“We hope that we were able to make you guys happy though you waited for us for a long time. We are very thankful for all your support. We are saddened by the incident, but it was best for everyone. We love you,” explained Jason in Filipino.

“The crowd was amazing here today but they had to stop the show for everyone’s safety, not just ours but also the crowd. Thanks to everyone who went to SM City Lipa. We will make it up for you.  We promise,” said Jake.

Since its launch, Maria Mercedes has been consistently beating its rival program in TV ratings nationwide and continues to create  buzz online by trending every night both worldwide and nationwide on the micro-blogging site Twitter.

This week, the plot thickens as Mercedes’ mother Magnolia (Vina Morales) finally returns. Mercedes also begins to clash with Misty (Nikki Gil) as Misty gets jealous of the attention Mercedes is getting from her ex-boyfriend Luis (Jake Cuenca)
