Ang sarap na lahat ng tao na nandito sa show na ito ay pare-pareho ang level ng pagmamahal doon sa trabaho na mayroon kami.&quot; </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:857px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751941188728Enchong3.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Enchong Dee with &quot;It&#x27;s Okay To Not Be Okay&quot; co-star Rio Locsin.
