[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Philippine version of 'Running Man' will be filmed in Gyeonggi Province.

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization announced on the 27th that, in collaboration with the Korea Tourism Organization's Manila office, it has selected six tourist destinations in Gyeonggi Province as filming locations for the Philippine major public broadcaster GMA7's 'Running Man Philippines,' with filming set to begin on the 29th.
