(It’s been absolutely solid — even though it’s only the first day, it didn’t feel like one. Especially as soon as things got underway, because we were really guided well. So, this is what it’s like to enter the world of Sigabo.)
“Ang gaan katrabaho ni Direk Coco. Medyo kabado kasi ngayon pa lang nakabalik sa acting, sa taping, (Direk Coco is so easy to work with. I’m a little nervous because it’s been a while since I started acting and doing tapings again),” Skusta Clee says.

Pumunta doon kami sa office niya, noong time na parang nire-request nga niya kami (When we made a guest appearance in It’s Showtime, that’s when we met him.
