Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Switchfoot's newest music video was made in the Philippines.

American alternative rock band Switchfoot chose to film the music video of their upcoming album's first single in Tondo, Manila on Monday (March 28).

The band is currently working on their 10th record, which as of posting has no title yet.

Frontman Jon Foreman earlier announced that the band will shoot a music video in Manila, much to the delight of their Filipino fans.

Patrick Filart, managing director of ThirtySix-O Media — the production house who filmed the video, told CNN Philippines the band enjoyed their time in Tondo.

"Considering the heat, they seemed to have loved every minute of it," he said. "It was so nice to see them really engage with the community and make the experience as personal as possible. And it also seemed that the community felt the same way."

ThirtySix-O Media is the same team which shot Switchfoot's concert on Sunday (March 27), staged by Church Simplified.

According to Filart, it took an entire day in Tondo to shoot the music video.

"We wanted to work with natural light so we had to shoot everything before sunset," he said. "We started setting up on location as early as 4 a.m. and the shoot went till about 5:30 pm."

Filart added, "We were able to shoot a lot of different locations in the area."

The band also had an opportunity to interact with the community in Tondo.

During their lunch break, members of Switchfoot sat and ate with several kids of Young Focus Philippines, a non-government organization that works with underprivileged people.

Why Tondo?

Church Simplified director Bebo Bharwani said the idea of shooting in Manila came from the band.

"Primarily, it was an ode to Jerome (Fontamillas)," he said.

Fontamillas is Switchfoot's keyboardist and lone Filipino member.

"The band has always felt connected to the Philippines, because of Jerome," he added. "They were telling us how Manila ranks us number one — as far as social media followers. And it would be fitting to shoot here."

Bharwani said they chose Tondo because it is where the Young Focus center is located.

"In the midst of that area, [Young Focus is] a beacon of hope. And we thought that would be a great connection to Switchfoot," he said. "One of the things that struck the band was how there was so much joy in that place."

Even though it was physically taxing on his team, Filart said producing the band's music video was all worth it.

"Working with Switchfoot was easy because they’re genuinely awesome people, from the band members to the team around them."

There are no details yet as to when the music video will be released.
