First of all it was surprising for the logo of Magkaribal on how they reveal each images only to realize that at the top of it is Vera Cruz as I thought that it was only an image of creativity so nothing deal about it. However it is already understood to me that the other two faces are Victoria and Gelai. The creativity of the logo was very unique. I appreciate the scene where Victoria comb the hair of Gelai even if they are already old enough to do it thought it portrays on how they reminisce the past as sisters. It was an overwhelming to see that they are happy together which we don't see them fighting anymore as rivals in love and fashion. I also like the fact when the sisters including Chloe are reading the letters of Manuel as they voice out one by one just to know that Manuel loves his daughters more compare to Vera. The effect was really dramatic. What made me almost cry when Victoria called Vera Cruz to be with her including Gelai and her daughter Chloe as they exposed to everybody that they already forgive Vera and they are willing to forget everything that they have done. I believe Vera accepted them with her sincerity and all her heart. I could honestly tell that I am really expecting more about the ending especially on how Vera will pay to face the consequences that she has done that could be in a manner of normal flow of the story. At first when the narration started I must say that I am not a bit satisfied on this ending as I used to watch the normal flow with sequence of how will they live. They focus on artistic side of while narrating the characters most of them are on the cover that you would have seen on how they are living right after the revelation about the sisters. It could be traditional already but I like the medium that they have used which was the magazine as they have permission from the Metro magazine for the exposure and part of credits. It could be use as well as promotion. Even if that is already traditional I just wish that the one big happy family have been exposed in Milan though I understand that it could be expensive if they will really do that just to project that they have been there for tour. However I must admit the fact that I still have my weak perception about this ending on how to interpret it as I thought Gelai died just because she was not included at the magazine, she wasn't with Ana or her sister at the end, Ana is wearing white dress and while she was with the 2 girls that are siblings they are all together seeing the billboard of Gelai up above which under it has "In God With Us". But when I browsed the other forums and even twitter many people have posted that no one died especially Gelai because she is now the representative of House of Abella as what we have seen on her billboard. I also realized that dead person is not allowed to exposed in billboard. So there you go that the ending was still a HAPPY ENDING for the siblings. I realized that they have done the ending in the right manner which they didn't focus much on how the characters are now being settled. Because in the first place if you think about it is already obvious on the title of what the show is all about which was a WAR that they are focusing on it. Now I understand the fact that I should not expect really more about it and yet it was still exposed as CREATIVE, FABULOUS, WONDERFUL, and UNIQUE.
