01:56 I can say I was very blessed to be part of this film.
01:58 I can say I was very blessed to be part of this film.
02:00 To be fair with Alden,
02:02 To be fair with Alden,
02:04 aside from hearing his good sides,
02:06 aside from hearing his good sides,
02:08 he really proved to me that he's really generous,
02:10 he really proved to me that he's really generous,
02:12 talented,
02:14 and I'll take this opportunity,
02:16 I'm not emotional.
02:18 I'm not emotional.
02:20 I'm not crying.
02:22 I'm not crying.
02:24 I'm super proud
02:26 because he's a big part of this.
02:28 because he's a big part of this.
02:30 This film is really special to me.
02:32 This film is really special to me.
02:34 This group really made an impact on me.
02:36 This group really made an impact on me.
02:38 I can't see it.
02:40 I can't see it.
02:42 No words can express how happy
02:44 and blessed to be part of this film.
02:46 and really want for the book.
02:48 and really want for the book.
02:50 I believe in God's perfect time,
02:52 I believe in God's perfect time,
02:54 I'll give you the project that
02:56 I'll give you the project that
02:58 will make you happy in your soul.
03:00 that you know,
03:02 "Thank you, Lord."
03:04 "Thank you, Lord."
03:06 Thank you.
03:08 Thank you.
03:10 Thank you.
03:12 Thank you.
03:14 Yes,
03:16 and maybe because
03:18 I have shyness inside
03:20 I have shyness inside
03:22 and self-doubt.
03:24 It's really high for me.
03:26 But in this film,
03:28 these two wonderful people
03:30 made me realize that
03:32 made me realize that
03:34 I can do it.
03:36 They trusted me.
03:38 Like what I said,
03:40 if they want to jump, I will jump.
03:42 Definitely with them.
03:44 So, I'm thankful.
03:46 When you finally started working,
03:48 what was your expectation
03:50 What was your expectation
03:52 or somehow
03:54 what you imagined
03:56 or what Julia and Whiteworth
03:58 or what Julia and Whiteworth
04:00 thought was right
04:02 or not right
04:04 or this is how it is.
04:06 Because you've been in the industry for a long time
04:08 but you have different networks, right?
04:10 but you have different networks, right?
04:12 Because I believe,
04:14 that the expectation
04:16 is where you will use it.
04:18 is where you will use it.
04:20 And as actors,
04:22 being able to be in the world of creatives,
04:24 being able to be in the world of creatives,
04:26 being able to be in the world of creatives,
04:28 in the expectation
04:30 when it comes to acting,
04:32 you won't know it
04:34 you won't know it
04:36 not until you do it.
04:38 You can set expectations
04:40 if the data that you have
04:42 is factual.
04:44 So business,
04:46 any commitment that has to do
04:48 with numbers,
04:50 with history, with data, etc.
04:52 But with film making,
04:54 with movies,
04:56 with content creating,
04:58 I didn't expect anything.
05:02 I just believe.
05:06 I just believe.
05:08 I believe in the script.
05:10 I believe in the director.
05:12 I believe in the tools.
05:14 And I believe in the vision
05:16 of this film.
05:18 So,
05:20 if I were to set expectations
05:24 before I accepted this,
05:26 before I accepted this,
05:28 then I think about
05:30 what happened during the journey
05:32 that we had,
05:34 it surpassed
05:36 whatever expectations we had.
05:38 But I didn't.
05:40 Sometimes, when you set expectations,
05:42 once in the elimination,
05:44 all you get is heartbreaks.
05:46 So, I'm saving myself
05:50 from those kinds of heartbreaks.
05:52 That's why I just went with the flow.
05:54 I didn't expect this to be the outcome.
05:58 But, Julia,
06:02 you really set your vision.
06:04 So, when you finally got together,
06:06 did you say,
06:08 "Oh, this is what it's like."
06:10 More than expectations,
06:14 of course, I heard a lot about Alden
06:18 how good a person
06:20 and an actor he was.
06:22 But,
06:24 the expectation I set,
06:26 maybe it's more of
06:28 how can I say it,
06:30 like
06:32 maybe it's really
06:40 happy, happy.
06:44 It's the first time
06:46 I've lost words.
06:48 It's like,
06:50 I feel like I'm trusting
06:52 the saving dam.
06:54 Whatever you plan in life
06:56 or you manifest in life,
06:58 God has a perfect plan,
07:00 perfect time.
07:02 And, that's it.
07:04 So, that's what it's all about.
07:06 If I'm going to get all the experience
07:08 with him, with everybody,
07:10 God's perfectly planned.
07:12 How did you get convinced
07:16 or from the very start
07:18 if you really wanted to do
07:20 those kind of scenes,
07:22 based on what we saw on the scene drafts?
07:26 For me,
07:28 as a viewer
07:30 or as an audience also,
07:32 the hopeless romantic
07:34 who loves to watch love stories,
07:36 I'm looking for something specific.
07:38 Or, like,
07:40 I want to be heard
07:42 or I want to feel love.
07:44 With this film,
07:46 you experienced everything
07:48 but more on a realistic side.
07:50 Because, every relationship,
07:52 you have a goal or you have a dream
07:54 that you want to achieve.
07:56 You want to achieve something.
07:58 But, the "sana"
08:00 the realization
08:02 or the reality is
08:04 you will work out that two-person.
08:06 In the film,
08:08 it's nothing. It's just realistic.
08:10 And, it's a chance.
08:12 That's why it's so good
08:14 because the connection is there.
08:16 Genuine actor,
08:18 generous actor.
08:20 So, you'll just jump
08:22 and give to the scene
08:24 what it will give to you.
08:26 So, it's like,
08:28 it takes two to tango.
08:30 Give and take.
08:32 It's like a dance.
08:34 That's it.
08:36 It's really a matter of
08:38 how you know yourself as a craftsman.
08:40 Because, in this industry,
08:42 we are all craftsmen.
08:44 Craftsmen.
08:46 For the plural.
08:48 So,
08:50 the thing that we have,
08:52 the question that will always
08:54 comes to your head
08:56 should always be
08:58 "What's next?"
09:00 I've been here for 11 years
09:02 and
09:04 I've done quite a fair share of
09:06 projects with different roles
09:08 and concepts.
09:10 And,
09:12 it's really
09:14 a matter of how you want
09:16 your career or
09:18 your craftsmanship
09:20 to evolve.
09:22 Because, if it's me,
09:24 of course, I'll limit myself
09:26 to this.
09:28 I always give
09:30 what people want to see.
09:32 But, at the end of the day,
09:34 they already know
09:36 what they can see from me.
09:38 So, I wanted to offer
09:40 something new.
09:42 And, I wanted to showcase something
09:44 that has never been seen before.
09:46 This is what I've been saying
09:48 when we promote movies.
09:50 "You're so different, Alvin.
09:52 You're so different, Julia."
09:54 But, I think I can
09:56 really testify and honestly say
09:58 that, after
10:00 watching the projects
10:02 of Ms. Julia Montes,
10:04 it's really cringey.
10:06 So,
10:08 and the things that I have done,
10:10 this is something that has never
10:12 been done before for us.
10:14 Actually,
10:16 this is
10:18 two comebacks.
10:20 This is Julia's
10:22 comeback.
10:24 And, this is my comeback
10:26 in the film industry.
10:28 So,
10:30 what's not to try?
10:32 The only failure is not trying.
