They also talked about some of the preparation they did for the television series as a whole and individual roles.
The two were seen to give their best in every film character they portray since their first-ever successful loveteam on the high-grossing Maria Clara at Ibarra series.
Fans were quick to share their ‘kilig’ feels on X (formerly Twitter), showing support for the love team.
