Be on the lookout for multiple updates within the day - you wouldn't want to be the last to know, would ya? So keep checking this space for what's hot and new in the entertainment world. For five days, the cast of Dyesebel has been hard at work shooting at the beautiful Coron Island in Palawan. Lead star Marian Rivera reveals that however hard she thought the shoot would be during preparations, it was actually much harder during the actual taping--especially when they filmed in the deeper part of the ocean. "[Noong] ten feet [na kami], feeling ko nabibingi na ako," Marian says, admitting she felt panic rising during those times. But she adds that people shouldn't worry, because their safety is being assured and they are being taught techniques that would help them more with their underwater scenes. Marian is quite fulfilled with what they've managed to do so far. She says that if the landscape of Coron already takes a person's breath away, it was still nothing compared to the beauty that can be seen underwater. "Para siyang totoo talaga," she says of the scenes they have already finished. "Nakakatanggal rin ng pagod," Marian admits, saying that knowing they're doing a good job helps ease the exhaustion of the rigorous tapings. She also says that it helps having Dingdong Dantes and Joyce Bernal with her, and even though she's with a different production staff, she's very happy with them too. "[Ang] babait!" The cast and crew of Dyesebel has just returned to Manila as of this writing, and they are making sure they are completely rested for when they return to the sea for their next taping.
