With their primetime bida series set to premiere on the Kapamilya Online Channel this month, <a href='https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angsaiyoayakin' target='_blank'>Ang Sa Iyo Ay Akin</a> stars Maricel Soriano, Sam Milby, and Jodi Sta. Maria shared their initial thoughts upon resuming their taping schedule last June when the Enhanced Community Quarantine period was lifted in Metro Manila. The cast and crew of the show stayed at a hotel in Quezon city for three weeks for a lock-in taping. Maricel Soriano “May konting takot siyempre kasi ayoko magkaroon ng ganung virus. Kaya lang, naiisip ko kasi na ang saya ko pag nasa set kami. Alam mo, kahit na tutuloy tuloy kami pag sinabing ‘Cut!’ at ‘Take!’ kami agad wala na yung chika. Wala kami masyadong ganun. Nakakapag-chika lang kami pag konting ganun tapos mag-ri-reading na kami, blocking, then take na kaagad. Yung ganun. Siyempre nakaka-miss yung dati di gaya yung may konting chika muna, yung ganun. Nakakapag-tape pa rin kami.”Sam Milby “Of course siyempre nandun yung takot but I really appreciate the production and everyone that did the necessary precautions para sa safety namin. We did the testing beforehand. Pag nasa set nandun lagi yung medic, dapat laging naka-face mask before we do takes. All the necessary precautions are done beforehand and even on the set to make sure para sa safety namin. So bawas sa takot.”Jodi Sta. Maria “Before we started naman taping in the new normal, binigyan naman kami ng mga guidelines and protocols na kailangan namin sundin bago kami mag-taping. The company made sure na yung guidelines na yun ay sang-ayun din sa guidelines na inimpose ng IATF. I would say na hindi mawawala siyempre yung pangamba dahil bukod sa pagiging artista, nanay din naman ako, may anak din naman ako, may kapatid ako, meron akong mga bagay at mga tao na iniisip hindi lang ang sarili ko. But then, I would always tell myself, if God allowed us to carry on with this project, then he would provide us with everything that we’ll need para mapagtagumpayan namin ito and kasama na diyan yung protection.”
