After Sagada, Banaue LGU also turns down Palace request for Joyce Bernal team's SONA shoot


The municipality of Banaue in Ifugao province has turned down the request from a Malacañang production crew, including director Joyce Bernal , to shoot videos for President Rodrigo Duterte's upcoming State of the Nation Address (SONA).

A report on Unang Balita on Wednesday said Bernal's team was turned down despite a letter from RTV Malacanang seeking permission to conduct a video shoot in Cordillera.

The production team reportedly respected the Banaue government's decision. The team also included actor Piolo Pascual.

Before this, the local government of Sagada, Mountain Province also turned down the request from a delegation from Malacañang Presidential Broadcast Staff, including Bernal,  to shoot videos in the famous tourist spot amid the COVID-19 pandemic. —KBK, GMA News
