Because of her passion, dedication, and commitment to the project, she underwent various rigorous training regimens for two years. Unfortunately, this led her to developing a disc bulge in her spine. This then limits her from doing strenuous activities such as stunts, liftings, and the usage of harness, all of which will be required of her for the action scenes in the film. Aside from that, she will need to undergo rehabilitation and treatment.</i></div> <div> <i><br /></i></div> <div> <i>And so while we have envisioned her to do the iconic Filipino heroine, Angel’s health and safety are both our primary concern.
