SUNSHINE DIZON’s hit afternoon soap with Sheryl Cruz, “Magkaagaw”, has been on hiatus since the lockdown and they don’t know yet as to when they will resume taping.
Meantime, she’s happy to play the lead role in this Saturday’s fresh new episode featured in “Wish Ko Lang” entitled “Nilamon ng Lupa”.
“First time ko mag-taping in the new normal ngayong may pandemic at nakakapanibago,” she says. “It’s an unforgettable experience dealing with the new way of taping now with all the health protocols needed. But it’s understandable na we have to take all the safety precautions to make sure no one gets the virus.”
Her fervent wish now is for the pandemic to soon end. “Kasi, ilang months na lang at magpapasko na, kaya sana, bumalik na sa dati ang lahat na hindi tayo natatakot lumabas,” she says.
“Kundi ang lungkot ng Pasko kundi man lang tayo makakapag-family reunion ng ating mga mahal sa buhay dahil sa takot sa virus.”
Taping the “Nilamon ng Lupa” episode for “Wish Ko Lang” is also unforgettable for her.
“It’s the story of a family na natabunan ng lupa after mahulog silang lahat sa isang sinkhole. Literal na nilamon kami ng lupa, ang buong family namin kasama ang co-stars kong sina Gabby Eigenmann, Kelvin Miranda and si Klea Pineda na siya ring gumaganap na anak ko sa ‘Magkaagaw’.
"Hindi biro yung eksenang tinabunan kami talaga ng lupa dahil yun ang totoong nangyari sa isang pamilya sa tunay na buhay at tinulungan sila ng ‘Wish Ko Lang’ host na si Vicky Morales.”
Sunshine says fans of “Magkaagaw” have been sending her messages asking as to when they can watch new episodes of the show.
“And I tell them na hindi ko rin alam. As of now, sa afternoon shows ng GMA-7, ‘Prima Donnas’ pa lang ang nag-resume ng taping. Hindi ko alam kung kailan naman kami susunod.
"Basta don’t miss muna ‘Nilamon ng Lupa’ this Saturday, 4 PM, in GMA-7’s ‘Wish Ko Lang’ at tiyak na maaapektuhan kayo sa nangyari sa aming pamilya in the story.”
