This is not the first time that GMA and ABS-CBN collaborated on a project. Earlier, ABS-CBN allowed the airing of some of its Star Cinema movies over at GMA.
Sta. Maria and Yap previously worked together as an onscreen pairing in the ABS-CBN morning drama “Be Careful with My Heart” from 2012 to 2014, as well as the 2016 film “The Achy Breaky Hearts.”
Gabbi, on the other hand, is best known for her roles in “Let the Love Begin” and the “Encantadia” reboot where she took on the role of Sang’gre Alena.
Meanwhile, Joshua gained widespread popularity after his role in the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2016 film entry “Vince and Kath and James” and the teleserye “The Good Son,” and currently, “Darna.” Some of his most popular works include “Ngayon at Kailanman,” “The Killer Bride,” “I Love You, Hater,” and “Love You To the Stars and Back.” EDV
