For this episode, Sandara’s team was assigned to sell their products in Clark, Pampanga, adding a local touch to their participation. In the show’s inaugural episode, Sandara was queried about her popularity in the Philippines. She humorously responded that she ranks third, trailing behind former President Rodrigo Duterte and renowned boxer Manny Pacquiao. Sandara shared, “A drama inspired by me has been produced. It depicts my history with me as the main character,” providing her team with an additional boost of confidence for their mission in Pampanga.
Sandara Park, renowned for her appearance on ABS-CBN’s reality-based talent competition “Star Circle Quest” and her role in the super girl group 2NE1, has maintained a strong following among her Filipino fans.
Despite her absence from recent Filipino television shows, Sandara expressed her gratitude for the continued support she receives.
On June 9, she expressed, “Sobrang nakakagulat at nakakaflatter na hanggang ngayon, kilalang kilala pa ako ng mga Pinoy. Maraming salamat sa love & support nyo sakin~!!! mahal ko kayo~!!! Forever~!!!” – acknowledging the enduring connection she holds with her fans.
Sandara Park is set to return to the Philippines for the “AWAKE: A New Beginning” show scheduled for September 23.
