The waves weren’t the only thing crashing hard in the latest "How To Spot A Red Flag" episodes, because Matt (Donny Pangilinan) and JR (Jameson Blake) were clashing just as intensely as they fought for Cha’s (Belle Mariano) attention. With their rivalry heating up, tensions rose as high as the tides, leaving Cha caught right in the middle of this emotional wipeout.

Watching the recent episodes didn’t just give us all the feels, but it also had us thinking about how fun it must be to work with the sun, sand, and waves of La Union. The cast surely made the most of their beach shoot. And yes, we’ve got the receipts—candid moments, playful interactions among the cast members, and some adorable DonBelle sweetness that will make you wish you were right there with them. Ready for a behind-the-scenes splash? Launch the gallery! 

First up, the DonBelle magic was real last week, with Matt and Cha getting literally close and *kissy* in the latest episodes. And if the on-screen happenings left you breathless, just wait until you see the behind-the-scenes snaps where Donny and Belle looked extra cozy between takes.

The photos also caught just how beautiful and huge the La Union waves were. Filming must have been an absolute blast for the cast because these photos are serving major beach-day-with-friends vibe. Donny and Belle were even spotted enjoying the water together. 

Speaking of fun, Jameson was all smiles in between takes, looking so chill and effortlessly cool. In one snap, he’s seen grinning with Belle, and Esnyr Ranollo, who plays Maxie, the ultimate BFF to Cha, and we can’t help but wonder—what was so funny?

Just one look at Benjie Paras' stills, and you already know what he’s thinking. We mean, he’s definitely cooking up some sarcastic thoughts about the boys hovering around his daughter, Cha. And we bet Christian Vasquez and Angel Aquino were totally soaking in the La Union scenery too.

Catch the remaining episodes of "How To Spot A Red Flag" on Kapamilya Channel, TV5, and A2Z.
