Understanding the authentic narrative behind this film filled me with positivity and a sense of purpose.

Additionally, the resonance between the true story I learned in Vigan and the message I aimed to convey in this film was centered around love. I entered the filming process with the hope of expressing the profound essence of love through my portrayal. Despite the historical conflicts between Japan and the Philippines, I am genuinely pleased that the two nations now share a bond of friendship. I am committed to further strengthening this positive relationship, honoring the legacy of our predecessors, and ensuring the continued prosperity of both countries."
