Working amid the COVID-19 pandemic is a great risk, especially for celebrities who are part of a soap or a live show.
Despite following strict safety protocols, there's still a possibility that they can contract the highly-contagious COVID-19.
This is why the cast of the high-rating afternoon series Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat thanked their production staff for making their lock-in taping experience last year a hassle-free.
In an exclusive interview with Village Pipol, Manolo Pedrosa--who plays Justin, the second leading man of Pauline Mendoza--expressed his profound gratitude for the whole staff of Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat, who really made an effort to make them feel comfortable throughout their month-long lock in taping.

Manolo recalled, “Fortunately, it was one of the most fun and fulfilling work experiences I have ever had despite my introversion and anxiety coming in.
"Everyone was so friendly and accommodating even with the complicated adjustments required to work during this pandemic.
"Of course, it was a shock and pretty stressful at first but all of us--from the cast, prod, and crew--did our part to make the journey as smooth as possible.”
He added, “I have so much appreciation for the production team especially as they had to do all the hard work of managing the scenes we have to work every day; even during our few rest days they still continued and having their pre-production meetings.
"I believe they took the brunt of the complications of locked-in taping so much props to them.”
The chinito heartthrob also has kind words for his co-actors Pauline, Dave Bornea, Kristoffer Martin, Liezel Lopez, and Therese Malvar.
Manolo said that they became his support group during their shooting days in Batangas.
“This group of ours is truly special because, with all the complications and stresses of our work, we support each other.
"I think we would all go crazy if we did not have this kind of rapport, as lock-in taping is absolutely demanding physically and mentally.”
Manolo signed his contract with GMA Artist Center in 2018. Since then, he worked in several TV projects like Pamilya Roces (2018) and Inagaw na Bituin (2019).
