Actually, matagal nilang gustong i-partner sa akin si Grae but the opportunity just didn’t come around before until now. We both auditioned for our roles and when we were told that we both got the roles, siyempre sinabi sa amin na this is a really good project, this is super nice opportunity so galingan natin,” she explained.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/5/8/fresh-scoops/starsstayinghome-kira-balinger-goes-back-to-her-25725"><strong><u>READ: #StarsStayingHome: Kira Balinger goes back to her art and music</u></strong></a></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="660" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4FCdTBZ8XX0" width="1173"></iframe></div><p>Shooting under the new normal has been a safe process for Kira because of ABS-CBN’s Kapamilya channel safety protocols.</p><p>“I’m very thankful that I have directors and staff and co-actors as well who really care for each other.
