“Encountered a lot of problems due to natural elements but thanks to our amazing team, we tackled every sequence efficiently,” shares 'Return To Paradise' star Derrick Monasterio.

The beautiful island of Jomalig in Quezon was one of the taping locations of the Kapuso afternoon drama series Return To Paradise.

The show stars Sparkle actors Derrick Monasterio as Red Ramos, Elle Villanueva as Eden Santa Maria, and seasoned actress Eula Valdes as Amanda Santa Maria.

In an Instagram post, the Kapuso hunk shared the behind-the-scenes video showing how he and his co-stars, together with the production team, prepare and execute every scene during their lock-in taping on the island.

Derrick's on-screen partner, Elle, simply left two heart emojis in the comments section.
