However, Janella said that they are were safe despite the typhoon.
"Nagpark na lang yung bus kasi nagssway talaga kami because of the strong wind. But we're fine."
For his part, Enchong made fun of the strong wind as seen in his Instagram post.
In a Facebook message sent by Beth to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), she said that the incident happened during the cast's shooting last September 27.
