The episode was met with controversy due to it airing while Cynthia Villar was a candidate for the 2019 Philippine Senate election; "Tatlong Henerasyon" was broadcast three days before the official campaign period for the candidates began, taking advantage of a loophole in the banning of any media portrayals of candidates during the campaign period.[2]
Production
The episode was first reported on January 24, 2019.[3] By February 4, the official Twitter account of Magpakailanman announced the episode, providing the basic plot but not the people it will depict.[4] On February 6, GMA announced the episode's story, director, and writer.[1]
Reception
On the Saturday it aired, "Tatlong Henerasyon ng Sipag at Tiyaga" received a rating of 14.1% according to Kantar Media, behind another weekend anthology program Maalaala Mo Kaya, which received 25.0% for its episode about another then-current senatorial candidate, Christopher "Bong" Go.[5][2][6]
