Former Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 housemates Fyang and JM revealed that shooting their first on-screen project together for Regine Velasquez-Alcasid’s music video “Wherever You Are” was both a rewarding and challenging experience. According to Fyang, who portrayed a character inspired by Ariel in the Little Mermaid-themed video, swimming with the tail was particularly difficult, especially since she had little time to train.“Pinaka-challenege is mas mabigat sa&#x27;kin ang buntot. Nakakahingal po.  Doon lang po pinag-aralan. Training was 1-2 hours lang, &#x27;tas sabak agad,” she recalled in an interview in Quezon City, Saturday morning. <div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x7lTV-uyhIU??si=rj50SubEuctQGbRR&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>The PBB Gen 11 Big Winner also said she had a hard time acting underwater.  “Ang sakit sa mata! Naka-ilang take po. Pero ayun nakuha naman,” she admitted. Meanwhile, JM revealed that he nearly drowned while shooting his underwater scene, confessing he was not acting in the final cut and was genuinely struggling underwater.“Kinabahan ako kasi may lunod scene. Di ako marunong lumangoy. Literal nalunod ako. Hindi acting. Tinatapunan ako salbabida,” he explained,  “Hindi scripted yon. Naka-ilang take po. Ang bigat niya, ate. Sa part I had to rescue him, sa leeg ako humawak di kaya sa bewang. Mabigat siya mabigat din buntot,” Fyang said. The pair thanked Star Music as well as the team of Velasquez-Alcasid for guiding and taking very good care of them during the shoot.  “Super hands-on the team ni Ms Regine. Pag may kulang binibigay talaga. And binigay namin best namin,” Fyang said.  “Thankful kami di kami pinabayaan ng Star Music,” JM  added.While the experience was challenging, JM expressed gratitude that they were able to successfully pull off their on-screen debut together and that it was well received. As of this writing, the music video of “Wherever you are” has raked over 3 million views.  “Sobrang saya namin kasi first on-screen project namin. We did not expect that kind of engagement. It was good. Alam mo yun para sa akin, kulang pa rin. Marami pa din, thankful ako sa nakaka-appreciate. Mas nainspire kami pagbutihan pa,” JM enthused.In a previous interview, Velasquez-Alcasid praised them and the theme that brought the concept to life. <div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/music/2025/1/14/why-regine-velasquez-alcasid-chose-jm-and-fyang-to-star-in-her-music-video-0032" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Why Regine Velasquez-Alcasid chose JM and Fyang to star in her ‘Wherever You Are’ music video</a></div>“I’m so proud and kilig.
