  • Critical and audience reception

    The series continues to gather positive feedback, both coming from the viewers and critics, making Biritera leads the ratings game. According to AGB Nielsen Philippines, the series gathered 26.7% Household rating points from February 6–10 (premiere week) as compared to its rival show in ABS-CBN which only got 19.5% rating points. In Urban Luzon, which represents 77 percent of urban television household of the whole country, Biritera got 25.0% points versus its competitor's 21.2% points. The series continues to widen its gap on its third week on air (February 20–24) by gathering 24.6% points in Mega Manila as compared to 20.0% points of the counterpart show.

    Both Dennis Trillo and Angelika dela Cruz's performances were praised by critics and audience saying that having accomplished leads in the persona of Dennis Trillo and Angelika dela Cruz in clean-cut bida roles helps greatly in forging a connection to the story this early. After his recent roles in TV and film had him taking on more maangas, bad boy hero characters, it is a welcome change to see Trillo in a more good guy, older brother role. For Angelika dela Cruz, this is her first opportunity for a long time to play as a heroine instead of an antagonist. And while she may be effective in villainous roles, dela Cruz has shown she is capable of much more. While Biritera may be a harmless family drama, it would be nice to see both Dennis Trillo and Angelika dela Cruz given great material, not to mention a promising and witty young cast. Though a simple premise, the first two weeks have shown Biritera can be a fully satisfying drama with opportunities for depth.

    Theme song

  • Ang Lahat Ng Ito'y Para Sa 'Yo (All Of These Are For You) is a song composed by Nonong Pedero and originally sung by Hajji Alejandro. In 1998, Lani Misalucha revives the song (released by VIVA Records) and used as the theme song of the movie with the same title, starring Angelu de Leon and Bobby Andrews. The song's lyrics tell of a person declaring she would give "her all" for the one she loves the most.
