After shooting in Caramoan, the cast and crew headed to Coron, Palawan to film a few more scenes there.

Filming in Argentina was finished last year, with Andrea staying there for two weeks to shoot in various locations.

Pasional tells a unique love story which began as a chance encounter in an airplane.

Andrea plays Mahalia, a tango dancer who falls in love with an older man named Norberto, played by Marcelo.

The film was written and directed by Francisco D'Intino and produced by Malevo Films, GMA Network, Stagecraft and MaxiOne.

It is set to be released in the Philippines, Argentina, and other select countries.
