Supervising call time was 3 p.m. but the bus left Celebrity International Grand Hotel—the Beijing address of Mano Po 6 stars, staff, and crew—30 minutes later. 

Zsa Zsa Padilla was the last to go onboard. She apologetically said, "Nandito na pala kayo, di ako nasabihan."

Cousins Sharon Cuneta (right) and Ciara Sotto took the chance to bond. On the way to Temple of Heaven, the Megastar spotted a McDonald's. "Tara kain tayo kahit wala yatang Mc Chicken diyan," Shawie said.

After almost two hours on the road, the group reached Temple of Heaven's gate. When the people stepped out of the bus, they felt the chilly air instantly.

The -2 degree centigrade did not tone down Sharon's energy. "Gusto n'yo ng polvoron?"

Young actor John Manalo did some stretching to combat the numbing coldness.

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition ex-housemate Nicole Uysiuseng posed like a Koreanovela star.

Dennis Trillo anticipated the weather so he came to the shoot with so many jackets. "Ang lamig talaga" he said, before doing a jumping jack .

Heart Evangelista donned a coat from Zara and a pair of fashionable boots, which she bought from a boutique in Hong Kong.

"Star Patrol's" Mario Dumaual interviewed Zsa Zsa while she, along with the other stars, were walking towards the temple. 

Heart (left) with her two moms in the movie—Sharon, who plays her biological mom in the movie, and Zsa Zsa, her ina-inahan.

Zsa Zsa seems to be Mother Lily's favorite star. This is her third Mano Po project already.

In 2006, she even won Best Actress awards for Ako Legal Wife.

Ciara and Heart play as sisters.

Zsa Zsa is sort of the antagonist in the movie, while Dennis's character has an unexpected twist.

After the pictorial, the group headed to an inner Mongolian resto. Here, a performer offers a glass of wine for good luck.

Heart's trip buddy was Cecille Ongpauco, her equally lovely mom.

There was lotsa food per table. Lamb dishes were served to make the guests feel warmer.
