Did the idea for action series ‘Lolong’ come from Jessica Soho?

Jessica Soho isn’t just an award-winning journalist!

According to the production team of the much-anticipated fantasy-action drama “Lolong,” Soho gave the initial idea that gave birth to the series.

The journalist said the inspiration came “from all the crocodile stories we follow on KMJS, even in far-away islands like Balabac in Palawan. Humans versus crocodiles!”

“I thought it would be interesting to weave reality with fiction and come up with a riveting adventure drama on primetime TV. I’m also hoping that the story would help educate our viewers about these fascinating but feared creatures with whom we share our many rivers, lakes, and seas,” Soho said.

“Lolong,” which stars Ruru Madrid and Shaira Diaz, features a 22-foot long animatronic crocodile named Dakila. – RC, GMA News
