Cancellation

The series ended in 2006 after its director, Luis Santiago, died in 2005. Santiago, who had just completed a feature film version of the show, was passing by a bar in Makati City when a drunk patron suddenly brandished a firearm and shot several people. A stray bullet from the shooting hit the director, fatally injuring him.[5]
