“It’s just one short scene, but it’s an important one. I guess it just got hyped up because it was John Lloyd’s first big-screen appearance since he took a break from show biz. You know how people are. We tend to jump to conclusions. It was a friendly request from us. We were happy that he said ‘yes,” she added.
Meryll then shared how John Lloyd accepted her request for his cameo, saying: “I said, ‘Pwede bang maglambing?’ For me, it was such a great relief that it was John Lloyd who made the scene. I’ve missed him. We worked closely in ‘Honor Thy Father.’ He is my friend and that scene is important for me as an actor. For that short scene, I’m glad I was with someone I trust and love.”
“I still don’t understand what happened because I wasn’t part of the production team. I also don’t have any authority to say anything because I don’t have any first-hand information about it,” Meryll explained.
