They together joined Jericho Rosales in his return to his roots in Marikina City, where he carried loads and sold fish in a wet market. The pilot episode garnered different positive comments from social media sites citing the very intelligent concept made by ABS-CBN.

“I  Dare You is here to inspire and challenge people to face their personal trials,  just  like what our  Kapamilyas are doing no matter how difficult their lives are already,” says Iya Villania who also says that the most challenging part of her life is when while she is away from her family.

I dare you is aired on Philippine TV from  Monday  to Friday beginning July 11, before “Mula sa Puso” on ABS-CBN.
