During the media conference for the Kapamilya series, Dizon shared how Garcia helped her during their scenes.
“Masasabi ko kay Joshua [Garcia], very gentleman at tinutulungan ako sa mga eksena. Actually, pareho po sila ni Jameson [Blake] na very sweet sa akin and very gentleman. Kaya masasabi ko po na sinuwerte po ako sa mga ka-partner ko dito.”
Garcia responded by praising Dizon during the media conference.
“Ang masasabi ko kay Charlie [Dizon], napakagaling, napakaganda. Wala akong masabi napakagaling and nagagawa niya ng maayos ‘yung trabaho niya, and okay siya behind the camera, okay siya maging kaibigan, okay siya maging pamilya.”
Garcia also revealed that he supported Dizon while doing the series.
“Ang sikreto rin para maging successful ‘yung isang show is to support each other. So ‘yun lang ‘yung ginagawa ko, sinusuportahan ko lang si Charlie pag ka-eksena siya.”

Dizon and Garcia revealed why they accepted the roles in the series.

“Ako po ‘yung nabasa ko ‘yung script, alam ko kaagad na maraming makakarelate dito sa istorya namin. Kasi hindi lang po iisa ‘yung focus namin. Kumbaga madami pong social issues, may family issues, ‘yung core values ng family, mata-touch,” Dizon added.
