The Philippines is set to be the next location for a future sequel to 2018’s Crazy Rich Asians according to author Kevin Kwan. In a visit to the country for the World Travel & Tourism Council Global Summit last year, the acclaimed novelist shared his love for the archipelago and his desire to create a film set here.

“It’s a country with so many amazing locations, cultures, flavors, and of course, people. This is my fourth trip [here] and it’s always a pleasure to be back. It’s always surprising—I never know what will happen, but it’s always a grand adventure,” Kwan shared.
