Kung okay ba sila o ano,” Flores said during the finale press conference of the show. </p><p>Barbie Imperial also shared the same sentiment, explaining how she missed her family whenever she entered the bubble. </p><p>“Kasi siyempre &#x27;pag pumupunta ako ng taping hindi ko kasama &#x27;yung pamilya ko. Sobrang palagi ko silang na-mi-miss,” she said. </p><p>Michelle Vito was also worried for her mother’s health since she usually accompanied the actress on locations. </p><p>“Laging nandun &#x27;yung kaba na baka magka-COVID nga &#x27;ko. Si Mommy din kasama ko during taping. Mas delikado siya,” Vito quipped. </p><p>However, the actors all praised the “Bagong Umaga” production team for taking care of them and treating them like family members during the lock-in tapings. </p><p>Flores, meanwhile, praised the production staff for their care in providing for their accommodations and daily meals. </p><p>“Pero dito sa &#x27;Bagong Umaga,&#x27; natanggal sa &#x27;kin &#x27;yung pangamba at takot kasi ang saya ng set, ng lahat. Kaya sobrang thankful sa production kasi ang bait nila, tinuring nila kong isang anak,” the actor revealed. </p><p>Vito also echoed Flores’ sentiment, adding that she will forever remember her experience working amid a health crisis. </p><p>“Masaya talaga. Iba &#x27;yung experience na nagte-taping kami ta&#x27;s may pandemic. Ibang journey to sa &#x27;min,” she said. </p><p>Meanwhile, Kiko Estrada and Imperial also learned a few things during the pandemic, with the actress highlighting the importance of spending time with family. </p><p>“Siguro &#x27;yung na-realize ko kung gaano ka-importante sobra &#x27;yung oras. Eh dati kapag nasa bahay lang ako nung wala pang pandemic, parang palagi akong nasa labas, palagi akong umaalis,” Imperial shared. </p><p>Estrada also said the new normal setup taught him to be more focused on his work since they had nothing else to do in their bubble.</p><p>“Lock-in brings out more focus on work because there&#x27;s nothing to do but read the script. And be with people you have to be with. You have no choice,” the actor added. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/04/27/21/we-all-survived-at-least-6-actors-of-bagong-umaga-recovered-from-covid-19">‘We all survived’: At least 6 actors of ‘Bagong Umaga’ recovered from COVID-19</a></li></ul><p>In the same press conference, it was revealed that at least six actors of the afternoon drama had tested positive for and have since recovered from COVID-19.</p><p>During the virtual media conference ahead of the series’ April 30 finale, Imperial, Tony Labrusca, and Keempee de Leon revealed that they, too, survived coronavirus. </p><p>“Halos lahat kami COVID survivors,” Labrusca said. “We’re working in a time of pandemic; it happens.
