In a candid interview with the media, Singson's enthusiasm was palpable as he revealed, 

"Meron, ‘yung series na very popular sa Korea, 'Vagabond'. Itutuloy dito. Nakatapos na sila, tapos ‘yung continuation, dito na sa Pilipinas kukunan" 

 

("There's a series that's very popular in Korea, 'Vagabond'. They will continue it here. They have finished some parts, and then the continuation will be filmed here in the Philippines").

He also added

“Tinatapos muna ‘yung istorya para may susundan sila. Unlike the others na kapag gumawa, hinuhulaan kung saan susunod, ‘yun ayaw nila, gusto nila kumpleto na ‘yung istorya,”


(They are polishing the script first, so they will have something to follow. Unlike other productions, when doing a story, they tend to predict where it will go next; they don’t want that, so they want the story to be complete first.)

 


This announcement marks a significant milestone for the Philippine entertainment industry, showcasing the country's allure as a prime location for international film and television projects. With its diverse landscapes and vibrant culture, the Philippines provides a rich tapestry for storytelling, enhancing the global appeal of productions like "Vagabond."
