All included for everyone to see how this is a world we love to hate but also a world we hate to love. No justification. No excuses,” he continued. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/04/12/23/edu-thrilled-to-work-with-judy-ann-rk-in-new-project">Edu Manzano thrilled to work with Judy Ann Santos, RK Bagatsing in new project</a></li></ul><p>According to Matti, they started filming in October 2022 and it took many months to wrap up the shooting as it was difficult to put all the cast members in one frame. </p><p>“I’m glad we made it in one piece.
