Dingdong Dantes to go on 12-day ‘closed group’ shoot for ‘Descendants of the Sun’

Dingdong Dantes is set to go on a 12-day “closed group” shoot for “Descendants of the Sun” as the series continues its taping amid the pandemic.

In Nelson Canlas’ report on “24 Oras” Friday, Marian Rivera said her husband Dingdong would participate in a closed group procedure where the cast members and staff wouldn’t go home until they finish shooting all the required scenes as a safety measure.

“Actually mga 12 days siyang hindi uuwi ng bahay, so sabi ko nga, ‘ganoon talaga, trabaho ’yan. Ang mahalaga ay maging safe ka doon ’tsaka ’yung mga kasama mo sa trabaho,’” said Marian.

The actress said she’d been helping Dingdong prepare, joking that her husband would be bringing a “malit na freezer para sa 12 days niya doon.”

Although Dingdong would be gone for a while, Marian said she understood the need for it.

“Wala eh, ganoon talaga, so konting tiis lang. Ang mahalaga makauwi siyang ligtas sa ’min, makauwi siyang safe sa amin,” she added. – Kaela Malig/RC, GMA News
