“Isa – or dalawa siguro para dun sa backshot. Ayaw naming mapahiya kaya ginandahan na rin namin ni Direk Chad (Vidanes), para sa viewers,” Avelino added.
Was the scene difficult? According to Chiu, it was just “normal” doing it and they are aware that the viewers are already looking forward to see that scene. They knew that this is going to be iconic.
The Kapamilya actress said based on a report from ABS-CBN, “Normal… Siyempre, hindi pa nagsisimula ‘yung “Secretary Kim”, ‘yan na yung iniisip na palabas na mga tao, ‘yung fan talaga ng show na ‘naku, eto ha, aabangan talaga namin ito kasi very iconic ‘to!”
Meanwhile, apart from the series airing on free TV, KimPau will also be in Ontario, California to join “ASAP Natin ‘To” on August 3 and the Kapamilya caravan which will be held in London and Dubai.
