Joseph Marco, Ritz Azul, and Miles Ocampo starred in Regal Entertainment's horror movie 'The Missing.'
Actor Joseph Marco applauded Ritz Azul and Miles Ocampo's work ethic while shooting the horror film The Missing in Saga, Japan last year.
In a video uploaded on Regal Entertainment's YouTube channel, Joseph was asked how it was working with the two promising actresses in another country.
He answered, "Masaya, masaya. Kasi itong dalawang 'to, wala silang arte, they're very professional.
"Tsaka kapag may kailangang gawin, talagang binibigay talaga nila.
"Makikita mo talaga 'yung full emotion. Nakakatuwa."
Joseph previously worked with Ritz in a teleserye while it was his first time working with Miles.
He said of Miles, "Kay Miles? Napakabait na bata. Actually, first time ko siya maka-work dito."
Miles added, "Si Kuya Joseph Marco, hindi pa kami nakakatrabaho and hindi pa kami nagkakasama.
"Pero kapag nagmi-meet kasi kami sa ABS or sa mga events, nagbabatian naman kami.
"So, masaya ako na, finally, nakatrabaho ko na si Kuya Joseph, and nakita ko na grabe 'yung dedication niya sa craft niya.
"Talagang pinag-aaralan niya, naghahanda siya, and sobrang saludo ako kung gaano niya kamahal 'yung trabaho niya."
In 'The Missing,' Miles Ocampo plays the character of Len Santos, an intern in the company of Joseph Marco's character, Job. Meanwhile, Ritz Azul is Iris, Job's ex-girlfriend who flew to Saga, Japan to help their former lover restore a house.

Meanwhile, Ritz revealed that she and Miles were social media friends before finally working together.
Ritz said jokingly, "Akala ko si Miles, dati, sabi niya mabait siya, e. Sana hindi siya nagsisinungaling."
Turning serious, she added, "Hindi, si Miles, sobrang baby sister ko 'yan. Since 2011, nag-uusap na kami through phone, pero hindi pa kami nagkikita in person.
"Sobrang feeling ko, close na kami nung time na 'yun.
"Tapos nung nagkita na nga kami, nung nagsama kami dito sa movie, sobrang saya naming dalawa.
"Kasi after 8 to 9 years, doon lang kami nagkasama nang maayos.
"Sobrang saya niyang kasama at walang dull moments. Feeling ko parehas kami ng [wavelength.]"
Miles returned the favor to Ritz and expressed her happiness that she finally worked with her friend.
She said. "Si Ate Ritz, nakakatawa 'yan. Kasi, ewan ko ba, si Ritz? Wala akong masabi.
"So si Ate Ritz po, kasi dati pa lang, wala pa si Ate Ritz sa network namin, nakakausap ko na siya.
"Tapos hindi ko alam, feeling ko, super feeling close ko sa kanya na nagha-hi ako, tapos nag-uusap kami, tapos nagkukumustahan kami, tapos lagi lang kami sa internet, online nag-uusap.
"Tapos finally, ito sa pelikula namin, na-bonus pa na nag-out of the country kami, so mas naging iba 'yung bonding namin.
"Masaya ako kasi finally, totoo na 'yung feeling ko na close talaga kami."
